 *In 1825, the sale of land by private tender began.

+===Depasturing Licenses===
+Settlers were permitted to occupy Crown lands for grazing purposes if they obtained a license that could be renewed annually. The first of these licenses was the Ticket of Occupation, which was granted in about 1820. These licenses gave owners rights to grazing land within two miles of their residence. Later, depasturing licenses gave owners rights to the vacant Crown lands beyond the limits of the owners’ homes. (Today, depasturing licenses can be used as census substitutes.) The applications for depasturing licenses list:
+*Name
+*Trade or calling
+*Residence
+*Land applied for
+*Marital status
+*Number of children
+*Name and condition of the person under whom stock are to be placed
+*Real or personal estate possessed by applicant
+Licensing impacted not only the grazing industry, but the mining industry as well. Mining licenses began with the gold rush in 1851. Mining is still licensed today.
