Registration of files in this Series stopped in 1910 but the files were then attached to files in the succeeding running number series (15355).  The holding dates reflect this use of the files.
When the running number file system was established the registers controlling the annual number system were top numbered with the first of the running numbers.  
Alienation of Maori Land was passed to the Maori Land Court in 1932 but it is unclear who actually had control and administration of the files.  Because of this both the Maori Land Court and The Department of Maori Affairs have been listed as responsible agencies

The files document the alienation of Maori land in the Waikato Maori Land District. Alienation is when landowners grant certain rights over their land to another person. For example:

    
selling land gives the new owner the ownership rights; 
    
leasing land gives the lessee a limited right to occupy land in return for payment of rent (and other conditions); 
    
mortgaging land gives the mortgagee the right to sell the land if the mortgage is not repaid. 

How the land is alienated depends on the number of owners of the land.  If fewer than 10 owners, the owners can deal with it in any way, except gift or sale without the involvement of the Maori Land Court.  If more than 10 owners the 'meeting of owners' system was used for any alienations, including a lease.  This system required the Court to call a meeting of owners of which a minimum of three owners must be present.  Resolutions passed at meetings were confirmed by the Court to ensure a fair price or sufficient rent was paid.
