Series notes:
The Crown Lands Act 1890 was an act for regulating the sale and disposal of Crown Land in Tasmania. The 1890 act divided land into two classes:

Town Land and Rural Land. Section 31 of the Crown Lands Act 1890, specified who was entitled to purchase and select land under the act, and the type of land that could be purchased. This register records these sales and purchases. It lists the name of the purchaser of the land, the situation and area of the land, the date of contract, the purchase amount, deposit amount and instalments paid. It also gives an application number and the application can be located in LSD87.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
