VPRS 3473 Land Application Registers

Full description

Seven volumes bound with brown and red cloth. The first two volumes are marked "Lands correspondence, Mines Department, No. 95 and No. 96." The remaining five volumes are marked, "Land Applications, Mines Department, No. 97 to No. 101."

These volumes control the land application files arranged in VPRS 3472. Each application or letter was entered into the Register chronologically or at the time of receipt from the Lands Department. Individual applications were not given a separate reference number. Rather a dual volume/page number was allocated. The first number relates to the volume number that the application was entered in and the second number relates to the page number on which the application appears in the relevant volume. A name index to these references numbers is at the front of each volume.
The Registers contain the following details on each application:
1. The Lands Department correspondence number.
2. The name of the applicant.
3. The parish/township/area of the allotment.
4. A diagram of the allotment.
5. A precise of the subject of the application.
6. Notes as to whether a mining lease has been issued for the land in question.
7. The reply of the Mines Department - whether the Mines Department has an objection to the sale or lease of land.
8. The date of reply.
