*'''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.

Records dealing with this period include '''leases and squatters directories'''. | *'''Leases'''.
