*'''Leases'''. As the wool industry progressed, squatters began to illegally overrun Crown lands to pasture their sheep. In 1836 a '''squatter''' was allowed the use of his "run" if he paid an annual licensing fee. In 1847, the Crown instituted a lease system which offered '''a more secure occupancy for the squatter'''. Leasing allowed the squatter to legally occupy the land for longer than a year and, if desired, to buy it at a fixed price. Records dealing with this period include '''leases and squatters directories'''. | *'''Leases'''.
