            [history] => 
Declarations made, before a Justice of the Peace, under the Land Acts of 1892 and 1908 to support  applications for pasturage licences.  A pasturage licence entitled the holder to the exclusive right of pasturage over a Run, but gave no right to the soil (i.e.no cultivation), timber or minerals. The licence term was 10 years and could be resumed by the Crown, without compensation, at 12 months’ notice for sale as pastoral or agricultural land. 
The declarations include the name, address, occupation and age of the applicant. They are required to declare their intention to purchase the pasturage licence, that it is for their own benefit and they have not applied for a licence previously. 
Details about applications and the issuing of these licences is in Series 9393 the Register of Leases, Licences and Reserves.
