As each lot was purchased, the purchaser signed the book adjacent to that description as the contract of purchase and the total price paid was entered.These sales took place under Section 98 of the 1862 Land Act which stated that land to be occupied for pastoralism whether a new or a forfeited run was to be exposed to auction. The size of the run was to be determined according to carrying capacity. The amount of the rent was to be fixed prior to the sale with the highest bidder to be the licensee for up to 14 years.本系列收录的是售卖新建及没收充公畜牧租地占用许可的合同簿册。每个档案夹中或包含售卖条款副本，以及租地完整信息与坐落位置的清单——该清单内容或转录自售卖相关的政府公告，或直接从公告中裁切所得。当某一租地批次被购得后，买方需在该租地的描述旁签署购买合同，并登记已支付的总价款。上述售卖均依据1862年《土地法》第98条开展，该条款规定，但凡用于畜牧放牧的土地，无论为新建租地还是没收充公的租地，均需通过拍卖方式出让。租地面积需依据载畜量予以确定，租金总额需在售卖前敲定，出价最高者将获得为期最长14年的占用许可。
