Made up of extracts from acts of sale for various properties located in the area comprising the city's second municipality during the period 1836-1852. The sales represented in the book date from ca. 1817-1841. The extracts may have been made by the notary for the second municipality or by some other officer interested in the titles of properties in the municipality. Each extract summarizes the original act of sale, much the same as in the deeds recorded in the Conveyance Office. Marginal notes, moreover, identify the streets on which the subject properties were located, a feature unique to this record book. This permits access to property sale records by the geographical location of the properties involved, access that is facilitated by a street name index at the beginning of the volume.
