PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. LAW OF REAL PROPERTY.—No. VII. SECOND REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS. (Continued from our Paper of Saturday.) The rulrf of 'equity Which gives priority to an unregistered deed on the ground of notice, has, since it was settled, been regarded with ditsatisfaction by several of the equity Judges. Lord Hardwicke "'the meaning of it (the Register Act) was to pre vent parol proofs of notice, or no notice." Lord Alvanley expressed his regret that th e S tatute h a d been broken in Upon by parol evidence; and Sir William Grant said, that " limited as the law on the subject is (to actual notice) the security derived from the Register is considerably lessened, as no one can with certainty tell whet circumstances may truly or falsely be given in evidence or what judg ment a Court will ft - min as to the effect of`the evi dence in any particular case." The inconvenience of giving effect to notice has led to the adoption of a contrary rule .hi other countries, When the Chancellor d'Agnesseau, among other questions which lie proposed to all the Parliaments in France, asked whether a creditor or purchaser, having notice of the substitution before his contract or purchase, should be admitted to plead the want of registration, the answer returned by alt of them except one was, that " to admit the r contrary doctrine would make it always open to argurnent, whether a purchaser or creditor had or had not notice, and that this would lead to endless uncertainty, confusion and perjury." And it is provided by the Code Napoleon, t. 3, tit. 2, c. 6, art. 1071, " Le detain de transcription ne pourra etre supplee, in regard comic convert par la connoissance qui les creanciers, ou les tiers ac« quereurs, pourraient avoir eu de la disposition par d'autres voies quo celle de la transcription." The Same rigorous adherence to the strict law of registra. tion has prevailed in Scotland, without any 'neon venienee. Both our own and other WTI affOrd strong examples of enfOrcing rigid rules of law a ainst just claimants who have b ee n wan ti ng i n g vigilance. 4. stronger case could not be cited than that of our Statute of Frauds, which annuls, even at between the parties, all contracts relating to land, unless evidenced by writing. 'This Statute' has often the moat rigorous operation against a careless, in favour of an unjust person, and sanctions the vio lation of the most solemn engagements when they cannot be proved otherwise than by parol evidence. Yet its effects are acknowledged to have been highly beneficial; it secures art extensive public good, of infinitely greater importance than the f ew individual interests which are sacrificed brio) provisions;' and some important exceptions to it, which a regard to moral justice in the indivitlual case, or compassion for the suffering party, has induced our Courts of Equity to establish, are now generally considered to be unwise. The Statute 21'th Elizabeth, against fraudulent conveyances, takes effect both at law and in equity, even when a purchaser has the fullest knowledge of a settlement, which is defeated by his conveyance; and Courts of Equity have not attempted, on the ground of notice, to interfere with the Acts for the Registry of life annuities or shipping. The exclusion of interference on the ground of notice will very rarely prevent the jurisdiction of a Court of Equity, in cave of actual fraud. In all cases in which priority may be given to a registered over an unregistered deed by means of fraud, al though notice must be one of the ingredients to prove the existence of the fraud, there will usually be other circumstances by which, independently of the notice, a fraudulent intention will be manifested. Any conspiracy or improper conduet,.for preventing or impeding the registration of one deed in order to give effect to another, may always, be avoided us fraudulent; and in other cases fraud will be shown by inadequacy of price, or the circumstances under which the subsequent deed wits executed, Where a party suffers from his own negligence, or from not requiring a caveat, which would haVe protected him against any superior activity itt another, he will have LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, - 1?1 -;- E1MBIER 11, 180. relied upon confidence in the parties instead of the protection afforded by the law, and will have no Just cause of complaint. It may be further urged, that little apprehensiOn is to be entertained of the failure in the registration of an instrument, and that the cases, where this failure and the existence of a fraudulent intention to take advantage of it by the vendor or mortgagor concur, must be so rare that they may safely be dis regarded. It is o n ly in such cases that the proposed rule of letting in notice would be beneficial to the purchaser or mortgagee, and then only in case he shoUld succeed in establishing, by a suit in equity or an action at law, notice against the subsequent purchaser; , and that it appears a conclusive argu ment, that in a prospective law made for the se curity of all future purehasers, it would be unwise_ to introduce.. a *rule necessarily detracting from the security of every purchaser, for the purpose of giv ing'a very uncertain chance to individ ua l s i n eases of rare occurrence to repair the effects of their' own misfortune or carelessness. - If all persons about to become purchasers of morts gagees could be consulted on the subject, little doubt can be entertained that the great majority would prefer the rule by which their own diligence would ensure their perfect security, to one by which they might have a chance given them Of obviating :the consequences of failure, but upon the terms of being exposed to the chance of having-the consequences of another person's failure fixed upon them by evidence which they , might not be able to rebut. Upon the whole, the question of giving or deny ing effect to actual notice against the Register, ap pears to be a question of balance of evils; it is there fore material to consider how far and in what cases evil is likely to arise from the rule denying effect to notice, and whether suffici en t reme di es cons i stent ly with the rule can be provided. It will be found, that to obviate the danger that a purchaser may be defeated before registration by the activity of another purchaser, we propose to allow of the entry of a caveat, to prevent the registration of a grant from the parties named in it for a limited period. We consider this greatly preferable to the plan of letting deeds have effect according to the priority of execution, so that th e y b e registered within a limited period. Of course a person having contracted for a pur chase without notice of a prior unregistered deed, might use such deed, when discoiered, as a defence against a bill for specific performance of an action by the seller. To make registration salutary, the process of re gistration must be so simple, that the lowest ordi nary care will suffice to secure against any fatal error; it must be so little costly, as not to create any serious burden or alienation. As it will have to be gone through on the execution of every instru ment relating to real property, there is reason to hope it wily riot be more liable to be - forgotten by the agents of parties, than the sealing of a deed or the signature of an agreement. It is highly pro bable that registration will scarcely ever be omitted unintentionally. The omission may happen, in case of a principal party cemifiding in the personal honour of the man he deals with, and desiring to keep the transaction secret at his'request (especially in cases of loan) or for some purpose of his own; It may happen through gross miscondmitt or neglect of a professional agent. lii the former case, the party has volun t arily t a k en a risk on himself, relying on the character of the per son he dealt with, and in strictness he can require no protection against the consequencesof his own act. We feel it indeed to be possible, that the attempt to take advantage of the non-registration of a deed may be made in same cases, as by a man in embar rassed circumstances, and that be may find a person willing to give effect to it, for instance, a creditor, in order to get a security for his own demand; against such cases the personal remedies to which we shall presently advert, are the only safeguard we can offer, independently of giving effect in equity to notice. This possibility will operate as a reason why registration should never be neglected. The case of misconduct or neglect of the agent will probably be of very rare occurrence. Perfect security for the good conduct of a person entrusted by another of course cannot be obtained, but there is, we think, no doubt that the risks arising from the negligence, forgetfulness, or insufficient skill av o w s under the present complicated system, greatly exceed the risk now in consideration. These risks, too, are out of the observation of the principal, who has no means of judging of the existence of the danger till he actually suffers. On time contrary, every man may easily ascertain whether his conveyance or mortgage has been registered; and as men now at. tech importance to the possession of their title deeds, they are likely to attach it to the possession of a certificate of the registry of their title. If ti habit arose for the solicitor of a purchaser or mor gagee, upon the completion of the transuetion,t-0 give his . principA a certificate from the Register Office' (a much more portable assurance than a bundle of deeds), the case of non-registration could scarcely occur. An important gOurd will also exi s t in the personal remedy against the agent. This leads . to the consideration of the remedies which may be provided, without infringing the rule. (To be, continued.) lISTORICAL SKETCH OF BELGIUM. No country in all Europe has been the theatre of so many revolutions as that part, of ancient Gaul, called Belgium. We shall recapitulate here the princiPtil traits of its history, dating it from the middle age. It was in the year 1106, that Godefrey Count of Louvain, having received from the Emperor henry V. the investiture of the Duchy of Lower Lorreiti, assumed for the first time the title of Duke of Bra bant, and from that period the country began to be considered as a separate State. In 1218, Henry IL, one of the successors of Godefrey, granted by his testament to all the cul tivators of Brabant their liberty, who were always considered earl's according to the law of the German Empire before. He delivered them from the tax of mortmain, and ordered that, like the inhabitants, they should be judged only by their own Magistrates. This testament of Henry IL has been constantly appealed to during all the insurrections which have taken place under his successors. These popular commotions were sometimes so violent, that the Kings of France saw, or conceived themselves, obliged to interpose. Thus Philippe le Bel gained in 1:164 the battle of Mons en Puelle against the Brabanters or people of Flanders ; Philip de. Valois in. 1328, that of Cassel; and Charles IX. in 13;2, tha t , of Itosbeek ; but at that period the . kings of France we re &reedy invested • with the Supremacy (Suzerainet6), as Lords. Paramount of Brabant ; tt feeble indemnity made by King John to Philip le Hardi (the Bold), his• fourth son, for the impolitic cession of the country, John being in contestably the heir of Philippe do Rouvre, the last Dukp of the first /louse of Burgundy. $€ By an act of imprudence, for which his children paid very dearly, King John," says the President Heinault, " instead of preserving so important a doinein, gave it to one of his sons, by way of a separate . settlement (appanage); to revert to the Crown in default of heirs nde. Thus it happened 'by this arrangement that a French Prin ce b eca me the head of the, race of this second House of Bur piety ; w hi c h proved, in the sequel, so fatal to France during the long wars she had to wage against England. Charles le Temeraire dying, in 1477, without any male issue, his States ought to have reverted to the Crown of France, but they passed to the House of Austria, by the marriage of Mary of Burgundy, the daughter of Charles, with the Archduke Maxi milian, son of the Emperor Henry 111. The Ern. peror Charles V., who issued from this branch, united the 'Netherlands to the Spanish Monarchy; and it was under the reign of his son Philip 11. of Spain, that those disturbances broke out which, after the most obStinate struggle of 80 years' duration, terminated in the complete and absolute independ ence of the Northern part of the Netherlands (the Seven United Provinces). ' The,southetn part, properly called Brabant, and now more commonly styled Belgium, remained under the dominion of 'Austria—at first of the Spanish, and subsequently Of the German braneh. Louis XIV. repeatedly conquered Brabant and Flanders. Louis XV., whose armies were com ma nded - by the celebrated Marshal de Saxe (the natural - v*l of . - the King of Poland and Oector of Saxony and the Countess of Koningsmark), like wise conquered it entirely, and began even to pene trate into Holland by Bergen-op-Zoom and Mtlf. trick, when, by a condescendence more generous than political, he restored those provinces to Auitria, 'in 1748, by the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. Belgium remained subject to Austria under the reign of the Empress Maria Theresa, but revolted, in 1789, against her ion Joseph If. The brother and successor of this Emperor, Leopold IL, suc ceeded in restoring his authority in these provinces by the influence of concessions rather than by the force of arms, although he had made a disudviin. tageous peace with the Turks, giving up Belgrade and other important fortresses, for the purpose of turning his whole force against Flanders; but they were shortly afterwarda conquered by the French armies from his son Francis 11., the present Emperor of Austria. From they year 1794 they constituted part of the French Republic and Empire till 1814 •—that is to say, for 20 years. After the overthrow of the colossal empire of Na poleon, the Holy Alliance met in Congress at Vienna, to appropriate the spoils of the vanquished, when in their wisdom they thought. fit to transfer the sovereignty of Belgium, which bad been so long an integral part of the French Republic, one and divisible, and afterwards of the French empire, to the Prince of Nassau Orange, the restored Stadt holder of Holland, not by way of a reward or indemnity for his exertions against the gigantic power of Napoleon—in consideration of which Russia received Poland, Austria Venice and LoMbardy, Prussia part of Saxony and the Rhenish provinces, Sweden Norway, and the minor powers, minor slices (for the poor man had been living, frugally and peaceably, in Harley-street, London, on a pension of 16,0001. per annum from our Consolidated Fund, three-fourths of which he wisely laid by)—but for the purpose of forming a powerful barrier against France; and graced and dignified this newly-created power, by subsequently bestowing a Regal crown on the new Sovereign Prince of the Netherlands. Thus were four mil lions of inhabitants, and one of the must flourishing countries in Europe, bartered away, alienated, and transferred, without their will and inclination being in the least consulted, like a parcel of negroes in the West Indies, or as cattl e are so ld in England.— However, the difference of religion, language, laws, customs, and sentiments, between Belgium and Holland, rendered this forced amalamation of hete rogeneous parts a source of weakness instead of strength ; such unavoidable effect having been wholly overlooked by its unstatesmardike com pounders, Prince Metternich and Lord Castlereagh, and though England was so lavish in the expen diture of millions after milliOmu to consolidate the su perstructure raised on an unsound foundation, we see it now shaken to the centre, and on the point of tumbling to pieces, unless supported by myriads of Prussian bayonets and millions of English' sove reigns. However, these subsidies may not be quite so readily forthcoming now as in Lord Castlereagh's time; and even in that case the issue would be doubtful. The Belgians were ever difficult to rude, as Austria, though un infinitely greater Power, and professing, moreover, the same religion, and holding the sovereignty by much better title deeds than the house of Orange, found to her cost. So common were insurrections in Belgium, that a German pub licist found in her annals no less than three changes of sovereignty and six internal revolutions, on un average of each century. Such is the disposition of the people whom Metternich, Castlereagh, and com pany, foolishly expected to wean of their restless love of liberty by a chimeriusul, an impossible fusion with Holland, under the feeble sway of the crippled house of Orange, ruling a country overwhelmed with debt, totally eclipsed as a maritime power, and destitute of a native army of any consequence !

At the close of yesterday's poll the numbers were, Baker 11.13 Wilkley An immense multitude had assembled in front of the hustings before the announcement of the num bers, and a scene of more deafening aimless noise has seldom been witnessed, even at an election— the persons assembled seemed to yell and utter all sorts of hideous Sounds far the inere pleasure of the occupation, quirt from any, of th e . objects which commonly give rise to the clamours of an election mob. For some time after the numbers were an., rimmed, it was thought that the roar of the mul. titude had risen to its filghest elevation, bat it was not till Mr. Baker attempted to address them that their " most sweet voices" attained the ut auticmun most his powerful lungs—nut a w oad could br heard flora him at the distance of a eonple of yards; and even by those who AVOrti C lot to hitn, in t not teoreS could caught.

Wakley, and a scene of furious crimination and recrimination would ensue, unrelieved by a particle. of' wit or humour. It would be impossible to afford f any thing like a continuous or connected' account of what fell from Mr. King. Amongit other things, he said, if Mr. Baker would .answer one of the medico-legal question. which' he should put,' Mr. Baker should have his (Mr. K.'s) most cordial sup port. lie exulted in the fact that' Mr. Wakley had the votes of 732 freeholders, representing, as they did, all the worth and intelligence, of the county.— Many of the votes recorded for Mr. Baker were, he had the satisfaction to lanais them, of e very doubt ful character. After repeating many of the argu ments already before the public, inlavour 'of choosing a medical man for Coroner,' he told (hint that there bad been obtained for Mr. Wakley no' fewer than 3,600 promises.

Yesterday evening, i n . co n sequenc e o f 'a' Nam !netting the inhabitants of St. Saviotuov,Seuthertuk, to attend and " take into considerations the hest means of curtailing the expences of the Polie&tate,'' having been extensively circulated, a Meeting of what were called the inhabitants of the Parish and the Clink Liberty took place at the Auction Rooms of Mr. Coulson, Union -street, Borough. Mr. DrASON, ' an inhabitant, wit vaned to the chair. After : this ceremony had ',taken plaee, an awful pause prevailed tor some time, ,Which was at length . broken by the Chairman inquiring if any one wished to make any observation's upon the subject of the Police-rate. He very much regretted that some arrangement had not been entered into by those who hod called the Meeting, by which some one who was well acquainted with the subject would have conducted the business,of the Meeting. An individual, who announced hitneelf as a Mr. BASTRIt i , who had been appointed the Secretary to Committee formed in conseqnence of a late meet ing at the Mitre, St. Martin'e-lane, respecting the inefficiency of the New Police, and the grievous heaviness of the rates for maintaining them; hero stepped forward, and addressed himielf to the meet ing. He said then there were constantly meetings taking place in every parish in London on the erten mous rates that had been imposed upon them lately. Committees in each pariah had in consequence been formed, who had resolved to unite with each-esker, correspond with all the parishes, and take in; :eh mee sures as would enable them not only to put down the police-rate, but the system itself. Mr. "Ism; after expatiating on the inefficiency of the New Police, and stating that the consequence of their introduction; would, in time, be the attapen sion of the Habeas Corpus Act, advised the meeting to resolve upon drawing up a suitable address to his Majesty spun the subject, atitUnot, as wait re commended in the handbill addressed to the inha bitatits of the pariah, petition - 'the ,Houle: of Com mon 4, which Wes is bad bodys 7 a bogy in which, from their past corruption, they could place no faith.
