VPRS 13284 Register of Lessees, Hamilton, Section 20 Land Act 1869, Land Act 1878 and Section 3 Land Act 1880.

Under Section 19 of the Land Act 1869 selectors could apply for a three-year licence to occupy Crown land. The rent was set at two shillings per acre and a maximum of 320 acres per selector was allowed. On application, a deposit of half a years rent was paid. If the application was refused, the deposit was refunded. Section 20 of the Act placed conditions on the three-year licence with selectors required to improve their allotment by the erection of fencing and a dwelling, cultivation of their land and the destruction of vermin and noxious weeds. After the licence term had expired, the selector was eligible to apply for a seven-year lease or for a Crown Grant to purchase their allotment. Grants or leases were only approved if improvement conditions had been met. If a selector opted for a seven-year lease, the yearly rent was used to pay off the purchase price of the land. Rent previously paid under Section 19 was credited against the purchase price.The Land Act 1878 in Section 2 extended the period of licenses under Section 19 (Land Act 1869) to six years and reduced the fee to one shilling per annum. Section 11 of that Act provided for the issue of non-residence licenses for six years at a fee of two shillings per acre per annum. Leases were to be issued, on expiration of the license term for a period of 14 years at a fee of two shillings per acre per annum. Further to this, Section 3 of the Land Act 1880 allowed application to be made for an alteration in the terms of a license, particularly in respect to the length of time granted for the making of improvements. If these new terms were then complied with, a lease could then be granted.Records of rent payments were kept in Registers of Lessees which gave the date of the lease, the name of the lessee, the location (parish, allotment and section) and the extent of the land. Financial details included were the amount previously paid in license fees and the half-yearly instalments paid. In the column for remarks are notations regarding such matters as forfeiture, revocation and transfers of leases, where the lease was included with another when the land was purchased or reopened to selection and any relevant references to correspondence or entries in the Government Gazette.VPRS 13284/P1 was previously registered as Units 3 and 4 of VPRS 1292/P Register of Leases, Section 20 Land Act 1869.

根据1869年《土地法》（Land Act 1869）第19条规定，土地选择人可申请为期三年的许可以占用王室土地（Crown land）。该许可的租金标准为每英亩2先令，每位土地选择人最多可申领320英亩土地。提交申请时需缴纳半年租金作为押金，若申请被驳回，押金将全额退还。
该法第20条对三年期许可附加了义务要求：土地选择人须对其所分配的地块进行改良作业，包括修建围栏与住宅、耕作土地、杀灭害虫与有害杂草。许可期限届满后，土地选择人可申请七年期租约，或申请王室土地授予（Crown Grant）以购买其所占地块。仅当土地选择人满足改良条件时，其授予或租约申请方可获批。若土地选择人选择七年期租约，则每年缴纳的租金将用于抵扣土地购价，此前依据第19条缴纳的租金亦可计入购价抵扣额。
1878年《土地法》第2条将1869年《土地法》第19条项下的许可期限延长至六年，并将年费降至每英亩1先令。该法第11条规定可签发六年期非居住许可，年费标准为每英亩2先令。许可期限届满后，可签发为期14年的租约，年费标准为每英亩2先令。此外，1880年《土地法》第3条允许土地选择人申请变更许可条款，尤其是延长获批的改良作业时限；若遵守新的条款要求，则可获批租约。
租金支付记录留存于承租人登记簿（Registers of Lessees）中，其中记载的信息包括租约日期、承租人姓名、土地位置（教区、地块及区段）与土地面积。财务类记载项包括此前缴纳的许可费金额及已缴的半年度分期款项。备注栏中记载的事项包括：租约的没收、撤销与转让，土地被收购或重新开放申领时租约与其他地块合并的情况，以及与政府公报（Government Gazette）相关的通信或条目引用信息。
