Prime Seal Island: lease for sale

Island Shed_Artboard 6 - Prime Seal

The crown leasehold on Prime Seal is for sale. The article also states 17 acres of land on Little Dog is for sale, on the south side and originally was James land.

In 1915 Great grandfather Harry Briant leased Prime Seal that he sold to Ab Hurst, the terms and conditions about the trapping relevant to generating income for those times.

I always thought the lease was something to do with the Robinson’s so to find it was the Briant’s surprising.
