The terror produced by it was frightful among the females, many of whom fainted, whilst the greater part of the congregation rushed to the doors, apprehending the worst consequences.

THE BRIDAL DAY.—Sunday forenoon a man about 40 years of age, and many years in the em ployment of a, carver and gilder, in the neighbourhood of I3lackfriars, was married to a young woman of his own rank in life. After the ceremony the happy pair adjourned to the bridegroom's dwelling, attended by:a few friends, to enjoy the luxuries of the marriage dinner, which in due time was laid on the table ; unluckily some dispute arose between the newly-married couple, which their mutual friends could not allay, and it was carried to such a length that the bridegroom, attended by a friend, left the bride and her maids to finish the dinner, while they proceeded to Puddle-dock, near illackfriars-bridge, te:out three o'clock, in order that the bridegroom might drown himself; with this intent he deliberately pulled of his coat and bat, which he delivered to his friend, proceeded over a number of barges, and threw himself into the river. Fortunately there was a ligliterman, named BARTLITT, near the spot, who saw all this, and instantly proceeded to his assistance : with the aid of a long barge hook he was enabled to bring the unhappy bridegroom on shore ; who, it is supposed, after a good ducking, changed his mind, as he very eagerly caught hold of the hook when stretched out towards him, and clung firmly to it till it brought him safe to land. He mad his friend then pro• ceeded homewards to spend the afternoon with the bride and her maids. MANCHESTER, SEPT. 16:—On Wednesday evening a serious riot took place at Newtown, one of the districts into which the town of Manchester is divided, and a man named Woon was unfortunately shot dead, several others being wounded. A good deal of animosity has of late existed between parties of Roman Catholics and Orangemen, and has displayed itself within the last two or three months in several serious and desperate out rages. The parties are chiefly Irishmen, who form almost the entire population residing at Newtown,. St. George's road, Oldham-road, and the adjacent districts, On Tuesday evening some skirmishing took place between the hostile parties, which rendered necessary the inter ference of the police. Last evening (Wednesday), about eight o'clock, a large party of Ribandmen, taking advan tage of the absence of the police-effieers, who were all busily engaged at the opening of the rail-way, proceeded from St. George's-road, and began to attack a house in Newtown occupied by three persons of the name of WIIITH SIDE, against whom they had conceived some malevolent feeling. It is stated that the attacking party fired two shots into the house without receiving any provocation. The windows and door of the house being completely de molished, the WILITILSIDES, in self-defence, as they state, fired several shots upon their assailants ; and a young min named Worm, a hand-weaver, from Wigan, who was among the crowd in front of the house, was shot dead upon the spot, two large slugs having entered beneath his right ear, while several others penetrated his neck and chest. Three or four other persons were dangerously wounded. Wotan was carried into the White Bart pub lic-house, which is in the immediate neighbourhood. The police being sent for, took the three WHITESIDEIi jilt() custody, and a man named LYNN belonging to the ether Forty, win?, was said to have been active in throwing stones at the house. These parties remain in confinement in the New Bailey until an inquest is held upon the body. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, I PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. LAW OF REAL PROPERTY.—No. XTh. TIM SECOND nEpora OF COM3IISSIONERS. (Continued from our Paper of Iliur,alay.) If a General Register Office in the Metropolis be established, registration should be substituted for the inrolment of instruments in the Courts of record and with the clerks of the peace, and should have the same effect. The books in the present Register Office and other offices would be superseded, should he transferred to the Register Office, and might con veniently be kept in separate apartments for the pur pose of reference with respect to transactions pre vious to the commencement of the General Regis ter, and it may be thought expedient that improved indexes to some of them should be made. It appears to us advisable to confine the Register on its first establishment to the deeds and other in struments we have described, in order that the busi ness of the office may not be of greater extent than may be absolutely necessary to affect the most im portant objects of the Register, until the details of the system have been matured by practice ; but we are of opinion, that hereafter it may be expedient to extend the establishment to the collection and pre servation of other kinds of evidence of the title to property. A Register of instruments affecting equitable in terests in copyhold estates, in shares and charges transferrable in books of public companies, and in monies in the public funds, and in other pro perry of which the legal title is shewn by some kind of Register, would tend to prevent the com mission of fraud, and facilitate the alienation of such interests. In our former Report we alluded to au improve ment of the means of obtaining and preserving evi dence of pedigree, a subject which has been muck considered by most of those who have turned their attention to Legal Reform. Whether the present system of Parochial Registers be continued, or any other plan be adopted, it seems desirable that the documents appropriated to those purposes should be collected in a department of the Register Office. By these MOM'S the different species of evidence of title might be seen at one place, and be under the control of the same officers ; and one of the principal sources of the delay, expense, and uncertainty at tending the alienation of real property would be removed. Another department might be appropriated, under proper regulations, to the deposit of deeds, prior to the Register, for safe custody. We are ,of opinion that it would be advantageous not only to allow such deposit to be made by arrangement between the parties, but also to authorize Courts of Equity, in some cases, to compel such deposit; and that any person who shall have covenanted for the production of deeds might be permitted to deposit them; and we think that such deposit should be deemed a satisfaction of his covenant. Solicitors, and other persons having deeds in their custody, and not knowing who may be entitled to them, might, under proper regulations, be authorized to send them to the Register Office. Wilts are sometimes suppressed, and it has been stated to us, that they pre often left in the custody of solicitors, who are not called upon to produce them. e have received from several quarters the suggestion of allowing parties in their life time to deposit their own wills at the Register Office. In considering the various effects which the esta blishment of a Register will produce, we have turned our attention to the nature of the present emolu ments of Solicitors. The emoluments of the Solicitors who conduct the. business of convey a n c i ng dep en d i n a great measure on the number and length of deeds and tibstraets i and the multiplication of copies; f or a ll which they are very liberally paid. All these it is one of the objects, and the probable results, of a Register to abridge. There is, however, a con siderable part of the duty of Solicitors requiring much skill and care, and imposing great responsibi lity, for which they are at present very inadequately remunerated. We think it for the public good that Solicitors should be liberally remunerated for their services. Considering the confidence reposed in them, and the intelligence and skill required from , them, it is de sirable that they should be men of education and of honourable feelings, and should occupy a respectable station. In our opinion it would be highly inex pedient that the rank which they hold in this country should be lowered. It will therefore be necessary to provide for the remuneration of Solicitors in a different manner. Their fees for actual Services should be higher than they are at present, and perhaps some mode of re gulating them, which now exists only with respect to costs of actions and suits, might be beneficially introduced. This subject requires great consideration and due attention to the suggbstions which may be obtained from the leading members of that part of the pro fession. We would, however, observe, that the diminution of the profits of Solicitors from the present sources, will not be felt fora considerable time, and thut afterwards it will be gradual. We beg to assure your Majesty, that we are pro ceeding with diligence in the consideration of the other important subjects of inquiry included in your Majesty's Commission. Bearing in mind the re commendation in our former Report, " That if any legislative measures are to be founded upon our sug gestions, they should be brought forward at one time, as parts of a systematic reform," we are of opinion, that under the circumstances we have stated, the proposal of a General Register may use fully be made an exception ; and we would add, that as the propositions contained in our former Report have now been a considerable time under the public view, and have, as we conceive, stood the test of the judgment of qualified persons, and especially as many of them have been adopted by your Majesty's Com missioners for inquiring into the practice and pro ceedings of the superior Courts of Common Law, and incorporated in their Iteport, we conceive that those propositions may now with safety be submitted to the Legislature. ~ We humbly submit this our Second Report to your Majesty's Royal consideration. (Signed) JOHN CAMPBELL (LS. 'WILLIAM HENRY TINNEY. (L.S. FRANCIS WILLIAM SANDERS. (LS. LEWIS DUVAL. (LS. JOHN HODGSON. LS. SAMUEL DUCKWORTH. LS.) PETER BELLINGER BRODIE. L.S. JOHN TYRIIELL. L.S. STATEMENT AS TO THE PROOF OF WILIS, AND TAKING OUT ADMINISTRATIONS IN CASES OF TERMS OF YEAftS. A will must be proved, and letters of administra tion must be taken out in the court of the ordinary, who has jurisdiction over the assets of the testator or intestate. If t h e trustee o f a term ( li e, leav ing personal effects, all of which, including the land in the term, are within the jurisdiction of the same court, his will ought to be preyed, or administration ought to be taken out in that court. If he die, leaving personal effects in one diocese or peculiar, the land in the term being in another diocese or peculiar within the same province, either Canterbury or York his will ought to be proved, or the letters of adminis tration ought to be taken out, in the Prerogative Court of that province. If he die, leaving personal effects Within one of the two provinces, and the land in the term be within the other province, for the purpose of administering his assets, exclusive of the term, the will must be proved or the letters of administra tion must be taken out either in the Prerogative Court of that province or in an inferior Court, as circumstances may require; but, on account of the ►erm, the will must also be proved, or administra tion must, also be taken out, either in the Preroga tive Court of the other province, or if he had no other assets within that province, besides the term, in the inferior Court of the ordinary having juris diction over the place where the land in the term is situated. • If the will of a deceased trustee of a term be proved in an inferior Court, not having jurisdiction over the place where the land in ►he terns is situ ated, or in an inferior Court having such jurisdic tion, when the testator left other assets out of that jurisdiction, but within the same province in which the land in the term lies, or in the Prerogative Court of one province when the land in the term is within the other province, and the executor so prov ing should assign the term ; yet although he could make the assignment, no use could be made of it, us the probate he had obtained would not, in proving the title to the term, be admitted as evidence, to prove that he was the executor. But the assign ment though made by an executor who, as to the term, has not proved the will in the proper Court, will be rendered available, if the will should, either in the lifetime of the executor, or after his decease, be proved in the Court in which it ought to have been originally proved with reference to the term, as part of the assets of the testator, us such subsequent probate would, in proving the title to the term, be r admitted as evidence to prove that the person who assigned it was the executor. If the administration to a deceased trustee of a term who died intestate be taken out in an inferior Court, not having jurisdiction over the place where the land in the term is situated, or in an inferior Court having such jurisdiction, when the intestate left other assets out of that jurisdiction, but within the same pro. wince in which the land in the term lies, or in the Prerogative Court of one province, when the land in the term is within the other province, an assign ment of the term by the administrator would be absolutely void. If all the assets of a deceased trustee of a term, including the term, be in the same province, and his will be proved in an inferior Court not having juris diction over the place where the land in the term is situated, or in an inferior Court whose jurisdiction embraces the laud in the term, but does not extend to the other assets, according to a practice recently adopted, to avoid the transmission of the will from the inferior Court to the Prerogative, letters of admi nistration limited to the effects of the deceased trustee, so for as regards the term, are granted by the Prerogative Court to some person for the pur pose of assigni►rg; the term, and in that case the title to the term, even if it should have been previously assigued by the executor of the trustee, is traced from the trustee through the medium of the assign ment from the limited administrator. If a trustee of a term has died intestate, and it should at any time afterwards be requisite to have the term assigned, and at the time of requiring the assignment there should be no administrator of the deceased trustee, or being such, he should have de rived his qualification from a court whose jurisdic tion does not embrace the land in the term, it is usual, in these cases, for the purpose of assigning the term, to obtain letters of administration limited to the effects of the trustee so far as regards the term. If a trustee of a term has died intestate, and his assets, including the term, should, so far as they are known, be confined to one inferior jurisdiction : or, exclusive of the term, should, so far as they are known, be confined to one province, and the land in the term should be within the other province, and it should be necessary to obtain limited letters of administration for the purpose of assigning the term in either of the cases, notwithstanding a limited administration from the inferior Court, whose juris diction embraces the land in the term, might be suf ficient, yet in practice a grant from the Prerogative Court, although more expensive than a grunt from the inferior Court, is generally preferred. Because, an administration granted by a Prerogative Court, when it has no authority to do so, is good till re pealed, and all the mesne acts of the administrator are valid; but an administration granted by an in ferior Court, when the same ought to have been granted by the Prerogative Court, is absolutely void, and all the mesne acts of the administrator are in valid : so that the assignment of the term, by the limited administrator from the Prerogative Court, would stand good although that Court, supposing the intestate not to have left assets, including the term, in more than one inferior jurisdiction, may have exceeded its authority in making the grant; on the other hand, the assignment of the term by the limited administrator from the inferior Court would be absolutely void, if it should afterwards be dis covered that the intestate left assets in more than one inferior jurisdiction. It hardly ever happens that the executor or admi nistrator ota deceased testator or intestate, knows that such testator or intestate was trustee of a term; conse quently the will is proved, or letters of administra tion are obtained in that court, where the ordinary has jurisdiction over the assets with which the person proving or obtaining administration is ac quainted. Trustees of terms in estates of any magnitude are usually selected out of persons who leave assets suOieiently extensive to require a Prerogative probate or administration. C onsequent l y , an inadequate probate or administration, with reference to a term vested in o deceased trustee, is in these cases rare, except when the assets of the deceased trustee, exclusive of the term, are in one province, and the land in the term is in the other province. Trustees of terms in small estates are generally persons whose assets, without taking the terms into account, do not require Prerogative probates or ad• ministrations, and their wills are proved, or adminis trations to their effects are token out in the inferior Courts in which their assets, without regard to the terms, happen to be, and very frequently the lands in the terms are out of the jurisdictions of the Courts where the probates or letters of administra don were obtained. The chances against a will being properly proved, or of letters of ad m i n i strat i on b e i ng properly taken out, with reference to a term, are greatly i n c re a se d front the circumstanc e of there being so many Courts whichiu wills a re prove d , an d b y wh i ch letters of administration are granted. It appears from the Parliamentary Returns, made in the year 1828, that, exclusive of the two Prerogative Courts of Canter• bury and York, there are in those provinces inferior Courts for proving wills, such as Bishops, Arch deacons, Deans and Chapters, Prebendaries, Lords of Manors and others, to the extent of about !VA), and that the jurisdiction of many of these Courts does not extend beyond a few parishes, and that the jurisdiction of some of them does not extend beyond one parish or manor. Instances ilaily occur, in which, with a view to enable parties to trace titles to terms assigned by executors who have not proved wills in proper Courts, or with a view to make assignments of terms, or with a view to recover or defend the possession at ►aw, it is necessary, from some or 'other of the causes above stated, either to prove the wills of deceased trustees of terms in other Courts, or to take out ad ministrations to their effects. The proving of a will or the taking out of administration occasions considerable delay in every transaction in which it 330. PRICE 7D. required, nod tbeexpence attending it is a serious tax On the landed proprietor, and it is obvious that the extent of the evil is in proportion to the number id wills or administrations to be proved or taken out. AS To THE ESTIMATED EXPENSES OF THE ESTABLISHMENT. The following statement is an attempt to esti mate, as nearly as possible, the quantity of business to be transacted at the proposed Register Office, the buildings toil officers which will be requisite for irs purposes, the probable expense of the whole establishment, and the fees which it may be proper to require on each transaction, in order to cover the %whole of these expenses. It was expected that returns from the Stamp office might have afforded the means of ascertaining the average number of deeds relating to real estate, but very little information can be obtained from that source, - because there is no distinction between the stamps used for instruments relating to real property those used for instruments rerating to personal estate, or between those used in England and those used in Scotland, and becauve several stamps are fre quently put upon one deed, in order to make up the requisite amount of duty. The whole number of deed and agreement stamps used in Great Britain in 1825, was 397,793. Of such of these as were distributed in London, the following particulars appear from the returns from the Stamp-office, printed in the Appendix to rho Fourteenth Report of the Commissioners for inquiring into the Revenue.

The first point to be ascertained is the average number of deeds that will be registered in one year. It is obvious that with reference to any given dis trict, this will depend upon its extent, the number of the inhabitants, their wealth and employment, whether trade or agriculture. The districts in which the Registers of England have been established, afford examples of every kind, and therefore enable us to arrive at safe conclusions. The Irish and Scotch Registers do not afford any data from which the number of instruments Aid, would be registered to England and Wales can be ascertained. The hinds in the Bedford Level are wholly agri cultural; they are all cultivated, and much subdi vided, and . probably alienations are more frequent there than m most of the agricultural parts of Eng land and Wales. The waste lands in England and Wales (which are not transferred so frequently as cultivated lands) may safely be deemed equivalent to 1,250,000 cultivated acres ; and if all the lands in England and Wales are considered as equal to 30,000,000 acres of cultivated lands, and to be aliened or charged in the same proportion as the lands in the Bedford Level, the number of deeds to be registered in every year would be about 41,000. The population and wealth of Middlesex are greater than those of any other part of the kingdom Of the same extent, and a large proportion of its in habitants are engaged in trade. The population is about one-tenth of that of Eng land and Wales ; and if the number of instruments to be so registered in England and Wales were cal culated from the number of inhabitants, compared with those of Middlesex, such instruments would amount to about 95,000 per annum ; this would, however, be greater than the truth,. because a larger proportion of the population o f the other pints of England and Wales is agricultural. From the Registers of Yorkshire it appears, that the number of transactions which are registered is nearly in proportion to the number of people, and is little affected by the extent of the district. The West Riding is eminently commercial and populous; the North and East Ridings are deci dedly agricultural, and thinly inhabited. On eom paring the whole population mad extent of Yorkshire, with those of England and Wales, it appears that they are respectively in the proportion of one to ten; and it may be concluded, with considerable confidence, thatthe number of instruments registered in Yorkshire is about one-tenth of the whole number to be registered in England and Wales, and conse quently, that the whole number to be registered in England and Wales would be about 70,000 per annum. There would be less trouble in registering instru ments upon the proposed plan than upon the plan of the present Registers; for although the proposed Index would certainly require attention, yet it would not, together with the directory, occupy more time than the different entries required to be made in the present indexes of names, and the authentication of the instruments, and the making and examining copies in the books for daily use, would be dens away, and the time, talent, and attention requi site for examining a copy of the deed to be sent down to the party, would be less than that requisite for ascertaining that a memorial of the deed is accts• rate and proper. The time and labour at present expended in searches would be almost entirely saved, for there would be few instances in which more would be required than the inspection, or a copy of the entries under the symbol ; and these savings would very greatly exceed the time and labour ne cessary for making out the entries under the symbol. • Thu division of the Register into districts should be made on the principle of equalizing the business of the districts, and of giving to each district full employment for one set of officers. Middlesex cannot be conveniently divided, and it will not furnish more work than one set of officers can perform; it may therefore be taken as one of the districts, and the remainder of lingland and Wales may then-be divided into eight districts. Although Middlesex is the smallest of the nine districts, both in extent and population, yet the busi ness, except as to correspondence, will probably be greater than that of any other district. There are about 9,500 instruments to be registered annually in Middlesex, and there will be only about 60,50 t) in the other eight districts, or about 7,560 in each. , --- The business of correspondence as to such districts, will, however, be considerable. We have ascertained the number of officers and clerks at the present Register Offices, and the nature of their employment ; and by comparing the duties performed by them with those which will be re quired under the proposed plan, we are satisfied that proper salaries for all officers and servants who will be necessary will not exceed the sum of 15,0004 per annum. AS TO THE PROBABLE RXTENT OF THE BUILO)Nus, They must be sufficiently large to bold all the books that may accumulate perhaps for eighty years. In the Bedford Level, the 130 conveyances re gistered in a year, till about one volume and one half. Supposing 80,000 in,truments to be regis tered in each year, they would till upon the same av'erage about W. 3 .' volumes; but the present length of deeds will be greatly, diminished, From the evidence it appears, that the space oc cupied by the present Registries, which have now been in operation for 120years,are exceedingly small. If, therefore, the Gen era l R eg i ster should help stituted on the plan of the present Registries, it might be said that five times the, space of the pre ' sent Registries would be sufficient for England and Wales for 120 years. On that supposition, a build ing of the size of Lincoln's Inn-hull, which is about seventy-one feet in length and thirty-two feet in breadth, divided into throe stories, would be much more than sufficient for the whole establishment. There are, however, two CIECURIBtaIIeCiI which render it probable that more space will be required. First, The number of transactions daring the next century will exceed those of the last, notwith standing the great diminution of assignments of out standing terms and other deeds ; and, secondly, the instruments are to be registered at length. As to the,last cause of increase, it appears that memorials usually run to about one-fifth of the length of the deeds; but the present length of deeds will be diminished, and, by the proposed plan, in mead of having both the memorials themselves and copies of them in the books, there will be only the registered deeds. The building ought to be in the centre of London, and should be fire-proof and substantial ; a pro per return for the money. expended in building it need N ot exceed 1,0001. per annum. If fuel, painting, repairs, and casual and trifore, seen expenees equal to 1,5001. per annum, the whole expenses of the office would be— Mims Rent l,OOO Stationery.— ...... Vuel, Sre 1,600 per annum for all Eat;lantl and So that the whole e l: x l i f :e ' t ( t i t t l ) i ( t ) ut le .e will probably not exceed 20,000/. per annum. In all these Registries a considerable portion of the fees is paid to the head Registrar, who does no part of the work. In the Middlesex Register, threc fourths of the gross receipts are divided amongst the four bead Registrars; and the real expellees of the dice in registration and searches to the persons who have guy business there, are only about 1,0001. per annum. If there be not some mistake in the retains to the House of Commons in 1826 of three previous years, it is strange that the gross amount of the f,.ei should have increased so much beyond their propor tion to the business done in the East nod West Ridings in the years 1827-8 and V. It is possible, though otherwise expressed, that the receipts which are stated are only the receipts for the memorials, and do not include the searches. h should be observed, that in Yorkshire the buildings and the stationery are furnished by the county in Middlesex they are provided out of the gross receipts. In estimating the outgoings, the number of drunk has been increased from 70,000 to 80,000. In es timating the necessary charges, the number of deeds should not be taken at more than the actual number; and, if they are considered to be 70,000, a fee of Ors. a deed for registration, would afford ut once 21,0001. per annum. The profits arising from searches in the proposed register, arid from certified copies of the symbole, will be very small at the commencement of the Re gister ; but, as it advances, they will probably in. crease to a considerable amount. When the office becomes fall of deeds, the num. ber of office copies required by the public will be very numerous. At present, the number of attested and plain copies made by the solicitors is very great. The charge for these attested copies is at the rate of sixpence a folio. If the original deeds ere depo sited, and office copies can be obtained at any time when they are wanted, it is probable that not half of the copies which are taken at present will ever be wanted. The office, by charging only twopence per folio for its copies, would probably in a short time raise art income which would cover the whole expenses of the office and render any other charges unnecessary. It is proposed, that the postage for all the imperil and letters transmitted directly to and from the office, shall be paid by the office, and thit the average amount shall be added to the charges for registration. The probable Average expense of registering a deed may now be estimated. We shall suppose that the instrument is forty-eight folios lung, which is more than the present average, and that the purchaser or mortgagee has also an office copy sent down to him to keep. Thu expenses would he-- Gs. For registering. 2s. Postage to town. tis. Office copy to he sent doivn to the put.cheser. 2s. Office copy postage down. 18i. Is.

If the party should choose to have a duplicate original, he would save the Bs. for the office copy, but the duplicate would .of course cost him much more. The only advantage of the duplicate would be, that it could be given in evidence with less ex pense than the registered original, without notice to the opposite party. The expenses on short deeds would be much less than the above charge, and in almost all transactions of small amount the deeds are very short, but it may be expedient to diminish still more the charge on transactions under UM This would of course increase the charge on the transactions above 100/. At the commencement of the Register, compensa tion must be made to such of the officers of the ex isting Registries as cannot be transferred to dm General Register. Under the proposed vita*, the rharges of registration will be much sandier than they are at preseat in the registeting counties. We consider the amount of these expenses is Middlesex is ge nerally more then two guineas, and about three guineas in Yorkshire, the difference being occasioned principally by the journeys of the authenticating witness. It should be observed, however, that a stamp of 10s. on the memorial constitutes part of these expenses. This duty we think unjust and politic : there is no reason why a registered dead should pay any greater tax than a deed which is not registered; end the tax operates strongly against registration. The expenses of searches will be rt. duced in a much greater degree. In some .ease only an office copy o f th e index entice the symbol during a certain period will be required, for, which, on the average, u charge of es.,6d, would be tidi cleat a when a search iu the index to the roots of titles, or in the index of wills, is required, it might he made by the officer, end a certificate Overt of it, and five shilliagt would be a sufficient charge for each search.
