the new system are not yet revealed, and it may be found that they are sufficiently easy to tempt purchasers. But, admitting for the moment that all first registrations will be with a possessory title only, let us see how the measure is likely to work. The first purchaser, registered with a possessory title, is tolerably certain to apply for confirmation of title, and, unless compelled to do so, will not be likely to re-sell until the five years requisite for obtaining it have elapsed, and his title has become absolute. If he buys with the intention of re-selling speedily he will in all probability (provided the terms are moderate) consider it cheaper to register as absolute owner, so as to save his solicitor's fees on a re-sale, when he can throw all the office fees on the purchaser. Stokes v. Stokes .................. 613 It appears to us, therefore, to be practically plain that, whether first registration is with a possessory title or with an absolute title, second registrations on a purchase will be with an absolute title.

CURRENT TOPICS.

SOLICITORS will be gratified to see the name of the President of the Incorporated Law Society in the list of Jubilee honours. Sir H. W. PARKER has won uncommon esteem during his tenure of office; and we believe that, on personal grounds, the distinction which has been conferred will be heartily welcomed. But there are, of course, other reasons for satisfaction. The honour is without doubt intended as a recognition of the services which the Incorporated Law Society has rendered in promoting the amendments of the law which constitute one of the main features of the present reign; and the fact that two knighthoods should have been bestowed within a few years on presidents of the Incorporated Law Society, in their capacity as such, may be accepted as satisfactory testimony to the increasing influence and estimation of the representative society of solicitors.

THE SPACE allotted to the legal profession in Westminster Abbey, on Tuesday last, contained only 100 seats. The judicial bench was represented by fifteen judges, including two Lords Justices, all the judges of the Chancery Division, and the Vice-Chancellor of the County Palatine of Lancaster. The Chief Justice of the Irish Queen's Bench Division was also present, not in his judicial robes, but wearing a collar of SS over a uniform probably better known in Ireland than here. Several Queen's Counsel were present in court suits, and one with his gown and full-bottomed wig; also two junior counsel in stuff-gowns. Among the officials were one Chancery registrar, one master of the Queen's Bench, and several district registrars.

OUR OBSERVATIONS last week on the effect of the passing of the Land Transfer Bill on solicitors' remuneration seem to have excited a good deal of attention, but, judging from some of the remarks we have heard, it would appear that the mode in which the measure is likely to act in this respect is not very well understood in some quarters. It seems to be supposed that we overlooked the fact that first registration will, in general, be only with a possessory title; and the opinion seems to be entertained that upon such a registration the title previous to registration will have to be investigated upon every dealing with the land for many years after the registration, and that therefore the present generation of practitioners need not apprehend any diminution of profits. For reasons which we have given before, we do not think it clear that first registration will be universally with a possessory title. The terms on which "absolute" titles will be granted under

bility of remuneration for a solicitor beyond the registration fee, unless perhaps a small sum for the preparation of the purchase contract. If the first purchaser, registered with a possessory title, and having applied for confirmation, has to re-sell before the five years have elapsed, the affidavit made on the application for confirmation -which must state that "the deponent has made due inquiry into the title, is not aware of any question or dispute as to the title, except such (if any) as is specified in the affidavit, and believes that, except as aforesaid, the confirmation of the title will not prejudice any estate, right, or interest of any other person in, to, or over the land" (clause 10 (2))—will afford a mode of framing a plausible condition of sale precluding the production or examination of the title prior to the first registration. Let us suppose, however, that the first purchaser, registered with a possessory title, has not applied for confirmation before re-selling. As the transfer, or part of the transfer, to the new purchaser will take place in the Land Transfer Office, and the scale fees do not apply unless all the work mentioned in them has in substance been done (Re Lacey & Son, 32 W. R. 1, 25 Ch. D. 301), the remuneration will be, we suppose, under Schedule II. But whether there will be any or much work to be remunerated will depend on the conditions under which the sale is made; and it appears probable that sales after registration with a possessory title will be largely made subject to restrictive conditions as to investigation of the title prior to the first registration.

THE AMENDMENTS to the Land Transfer Bill standing on the paper on Monday evening last were disposed in four sets, to be moved by the Duke of MARLBOROUGH, Lord MONTEAGLE, Lord HERSCHELL, and Lord THRING respectively. The Duke of MARLLand Transfer Board a dependency of the Land Commission; (2) BOROUGH's amendments were directed principally to (1) making the applying compulsion all over the country at once; (3) giving the county courts jurisdiction in cases of under £500 value; (4) rendering the concurrence of the Land Transfer Board necessary to the validity of rules under the Act; (5) conferring on tenants for life compulsory powers of purchasing the reversion in fee at a valuation; (6) reducing the initial subscription to the insurance fund from 1d. in the £1 to 1d. in £100-i.e., from about 1-10 per cent. to 1-240 per cent; and (7) stopping all further insurance charges until a new General Order has been made under the Solicitors' Remuneration Act fixing fees for registry business. The object of this last amendment is rather obscure. Owing to the absence of the duke from the committee, his first two amendments have dropped. Lord MONTEAGLE'S amendment is to make the alterations in real property law apply to Ireland. The most important amendments (as might have been supposed) are those which stood in the name of Lord HERSCHELL. Their main object and scope was as follows:-(1) To throw the duty of registration on the purchaser instead of on the vendor; (2) to rely on the mere deprivation of the legal estate as a sufficient penalty for non-registration; (3) to give a proprietor injured by mistakes in the register a direct claim for indemnity out of the insurance fund without the necessity of first pursuing his remedies against any private person; (4) to lay down that, in cases of mistakes on the register, the court shall, as a general rule, restore the land to the person deprived of it, and award the compensation to the wrongly-registered purchaser, with a discretion to do otherwise only on special cause shewn; (5) to give surviving husbands and wives absolute interests in one

third, instead of life interests in the whole, of the lands of their to be paid, of course, must have some meaning, and upon this intestate spouses; (6) to enable a proprietor to increase the amount meaning the opinion does not give much enlightenment in point of his insurance in cases of increased value. Lord HERSCHELL'S of detail. What does "exclusive of any allowance for past or amendments also comprise important improvements in the detail of future profits" mean? We think that "future profits" may be section 4 relating to the registration of settled land, and, in the lan- easily referred to the profits naturally to be expected from an guage of clause 9 (compulsory registration of all subsequent dealings), increase of population in most cases, and occasionally to be and clause 38 (devolution of real estate). Lord THRING'S amendments expected from a decrease in the cost of labour employed by the were (1) for shifting the duty of registration from vendor to pur- tramway company. "Past profits" it is not so easy to explain, chaser; (2) for limiting compulsion to cases of sale; (3) omitting but we think perhaps that the Legislature intended to exclude all express directions as to the exact manner in which settled land from consideration exceptional profits arising from exceptional is to be registered; and (4) leaving the case of subsequent dealings circumstances in any past year, as, for instance, from the fact as it now stands under the Act of 1875-namely, that they can be of the town served by the tramway having been the scene of a validly made by common law assurances, subject only to a risk of Royal visit or an industrial exhibition. being ousted by subsequent inconsistent registrations.

BEFORE CONSIDERING the amendments in detail in committee, THE INQUIRIES WHICH WILL BE two speeches were made of some importance.

The Lord

Chancellor stated that, while he welcomed several of the amendments as improvements of the Bill, yet he would be unable to admit any that touched upon either of the three following matters of principle: -(1) That the Land Transfer Board should be independent of the Land Commission; (2) that compulsion should be applied gradually district by district; and (3) that the vendor should remain the person on whom the duty of registration is to be thrown. Lord HERSCHELL, following the Chancellor, repeated his protest against the form of the Bill, pointing out that an amending measure was only admissible where the law to be amended was familiar, which is not the case here. He also enlarged somewhat on the distinction between indefeasible and guaranteed title, and expressed regret that the Bill, while in principle inclining to guaranteed title, still retained the nomenclature of indefeasibility. He further stated that, in his opinion, the initial costs of compulsory registration ought to be reduced to the lowest possible level, or, if this was impracticable, should be shared to some extent by the State. In the committee which followed it very early appeared that the Lord Chancellor's word would be law. Lord HERSCHELL, supported by Lord KIMBERLEY, pressed his first amendment (of clause 2) to a division, but it was negatived by 40 to 16. The consideration of amendments was carried on (notwithstanding an appeal from an overworked noble lord at 6.45 p.m.) down to clause 10. The substantial alterations admitted were as follows:-(1) the registration of a person "as tenant for life" is not to "affect any person with constructive notice of the terms of the settlement." The Lord Chancellor undertook to reconsider sub-clause (4) of clause 5, requiring the trustees of the settlement to apply for the registration of succeeding tenants for life. We have already commented on the need of reconsideration here. An exception was introduced at the end of clause 5, in consequence of which land held on trust for sale will not need to be registered in the name of the tenant for life, except where an order has been actually made under the Settled Land Act, 1884. Clause 9 was also made more exact, according to Lord HERSCHELL'S amendments. Lord THRING'S amendments were withdrawn. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH's dropped, as already men

tioned. Lord MONTEAGLE'S was not reached.

THE PUBLISHED OPINION of the Attorney-General as to the terms on which a tramway may be purchased by a local authority deals with a matter of very great importance. The 43rd section of the Tramways Act, 1870 (33 & 34 Vict. c. 78), enacts that a local authority, after the expiration of a period of twenty-one years from the time when any tramway undertaking was first authorized, may compulsorily purchase such undertaking " upon terms of paying the then value (exclusive of any allowance for past or future profits of the undertaking, or any compensation for compulsory sale or other consideration whatsoever) of the tramway." These words having alarmed a great tramway company, an opinion has been taken and published to the effect that the undertaking must be purchased and paid for as a going concern, and not as it has been sometimes put, as so much old iron. The opinion is clearly correct. The Act prescribes that the promoters shall sell their undertaking, and this expression obviously bears the meaning attributed to it in the opinion. But the restriction upon the price

NECESSARY

BEFORE COMPLETING A PURCHASE FROM A REGISTERED OWNER.

IN Mr. Hunter's paper on the Land Transfer Bill, read on the 7th inst. before the Incorporated Law Society, five heads of inquiry are stated as to which it will still be necessary for a purchaser from a registered owner to satisfy himself before completing a purchase under the new system.

The first of these-to the effect that, owing to the Settled Land Act and to the new mode of vesting trust estates in trustees under the Conveyancing Act, it will be necessary in many cases to notice trusts on the register, with the result that purchasers will be affected with constructive notice of the terms of the settlement has been removed by the adoption of Lord Herschell's amendment of clause 5, noticed in another column. In passing, it may, however, be pointed out that Lord Thring's amendment abolishing clause 5 altogether would probably have effected the desired object even better. For, under the existing registry practice, the provisions of the Settled Land Act have been satisfactorily met by the following arrangement :-The tenant for life is registered as "proprietor" simply, and the trustees' controlling power is preserved by a "restriction" (see sections 58 and 59 of the Act of 1875), to the effect that no dealing is to take place without their consent or till further order. This simple arrangement will, however, be superseded by the provisions of clause 5 if the Bill passes as it now stands.

Second. The original Bill gave no protection against succession duty. But by the amended clause 43 provision is made for its being treated as an "incumbrance." This means that unless it is registered it ceases to affect land in the hands of a purchaser. Provision is at the same time made for giving the Commissioners of Inland Revenue an ample opportunity of asserting their rights. Mr. Hunter expresses a doubt whether the proposed clause will be effectual for its purpose. As to this we can only say that, in the absence of any reasons assigned, and after the best consideration we can give to it, we fail to see on what ground it arises.

Third. Until a central registry of the various matters which now form the subject-matter of searches-for instance, executions, lis pendens, bankruptcies, &c.—is established, these searches will still have to be made. This assertion, coming from such an authority, is calculated to arouse considerable alarm. For it is certainly the general impression that such searches will no longer be necessary. The Act of 1875, s. 30, says that a registered transfer for value shall confer a fee simple, subject to the incumbrances entered on the register, and to rights by the Act declared not to be incumbrances, "but free from all other estates and interests whatsoever," including the Crown. None of the matters usually made the subject of searches are included in the list of matters by the Act (section 18) declared not to be incumbrances. On what ground, then, will they be held to affect purchasers of registered titles? The words of the Act of 1875 seem to be strong enough to override any priority express or implied, statutory, equitable, or by force of the common law. Surely a system which, in the face of a registered transfer, ignores a prior conveyance for value by indenture sealed and delivered (section 49), will hardly be found more tender towards statutory priorities. Still, a short clause determining this point definitely would no doubt be a desirable addition to the Act, inasmuch as solicitors naturally require certainty on such a point before exposing themselves to any risk by omitting precautions that are
