The indaba began upon small matters, a recent dispute or two as to the ownership of cattle, or of land commonage, and so forth. |
The Abbot of Gloucester had ninety acres of land in Walmore, at eight pence an acre rent, for cultivation, but not for commonage. |
Sheep farmers with commonage have been informed that their sheep quota has been cut as stated in letters sent out by the Department of Agriculture. |
The Heath commonage has had a chequered legal history with local animal owners obtaining grazing rights to the lands owned by the State. |
In 2001 40 farmers established their commonage and grazing rights on the 426 acres of land. |
The next stage of an appeal is to get the commonage resurveyed and a formal appeal produced. |
