1951 June, “The Why and the Wherefore: Abandoned Branch Lands”, in Railway Magazine, page 428:If this was unrestricted freehold, the land is available for sale or lease, although often it is not readily marketable, by reason of its shape and access; neighbouring landowners are possible purchasers. In some cases, reversionary rights were reserved to neighbouring landowners when the land was acquired.
1999, Murray A. Rubinstein, editor, Taiwan: A New History[1], M.E. Sharpe, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 175:The largest owner of tea lands on the island in the late 1800s (and Taiwan’s single wealthiest family) were the Lins of Pan-ch’iao. Along with other great familial and corporate landowners, the Pan-ch’iao Lins drew income from renting their properties under a flexible, sophisticated contractual system of land tenure.
