Series Description  In 1866 30 Vic No. 5 an ordinance to give a preferable lien on wool, became law. Where any person (usually a merchant) made a bonafide advance of money or goods or promissory note, he was given a preferential lien on the next ensuing clip of wool. The preferable lien on wool was devised as a means of solving the difficulty of interim finance for squatters whose income came from their only asset, and then only once a year. It provided the sheepmen with the means of borrowing against either the stock itself or against the anticipated woolclip of the season. It meant that the funds could become available up to a year before the wool was sold, as opposed to receiving advances only when the clip had been delivered in December to the merchant's store or to the ship. The lien was registered at the Registrar's Office of the Supreme Court. (Series includes mortgages of sheep, cattle and horses etc)
