            [history] => 

	Under successive Gold Fields Acts, Mines Acts and Mining Acts any claim, right or privilege registered under the mining regulations was able to be fully or partly transferred or assigned. 

	Once the transfer was registered it also had to be noted on the original certificate or licence. They were usually in the form of letters, with accompanying deeds, etc.

	Under the Mining Act 1898 all mining privileges were deemed to be chattels and therefore any transfers had to be registered. 

	The files consisted of the following types of agreements -

	

		Assignment of Mining Privileges
	

		Mortgage Agreements
	

		Lease Agreements
	

		Discharge of Mortgages
	

		Transfer of Mining Privileges
	

		Transmission of Mining Privileges


	There were also some regular mining application files that seem to have found their way into the Lawrence Transfer Files sequence.
