The 'limits of location' refer to the nineteen counties of settled area extending from Sydney.... In September 1836, an Act of Council, imposed an annual licence fee of ten pounds.... Persons who compiled with this notice were issued with a Certificate to Depasture stock beyond the limits of location. Their names and a description of their station, etc. were published in the NSW Government Gazette. The first list relative to these certificates appeared on January 1837. Thereafter, names and details were published on a regular basis."-- p. 5-6.
