System of arrangement
Arrangement of files follows the original numerical order, where the item number corresponds to the rental. Some numbers are repeated or are missing, and some agreements were extracted from the main sequence and filed by the estate under subject. The main numerical files are followed by the unnumbered and subject files which were found with them, arranged chronologically.

Note
Endorsed: routine endorsements of contents, rent, name of tenant, expiry or cancellation.
Note
Unfortunately some numbers were altered as the estate’s system of rent collection was revised; these have been filed under the latest number. This has resulted in in a large gap in the main numerical sequence and smaller ones within the files; some numbers are repeated in different years. It is advisable to check each number against the rental for that particular year.
Note
Enclosed: routine correspondence and notices to quit in many files.
