PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. Register would prevent. We have already shown that it would render unnecessary the expedient of keeping and assigning outstanding terms, Which is ntlw resorted to, an 'expense far exceeding the amount of all the costs which can be occasioned by registration valid also the numerous inquiries and, searches now made at diffeient places; and cove nants for production of deeds; that it would often render it unnecessary 141, take attested copies; that it would reduce the length of deeds and abstracts; that it would cat offniariy sources of litigation ; and that it would . preve nt the various expenses which arise from delay in the investigation and proof of fitlei. We are.falli convinced that the costs to be occasioned by a Register will hear no proportion to those which will be saved, and that a diminution of expense will be one of the great and certain benefits afforded by it. It is said that in many eases the conveyance of estates, created by way, of mortgage, or for temporary purposes, is now dispensed with, and that a Register will render it in all cases necessary. Our answer to this objection is, that the practice of leaving such estates outstanding, and concealing the deeds, is highly objectionable. We have shown that it affords facilities, for the commission of fraud, and it must be fretptently attended with other inconve niences of much more importance than the 'expeniii of re=conveyanee.

We are . satiified that a General Register _would afford the best remedy for the evils we have de scribed : several other ingenious plans for accom plishing the same object have been submitted to us, but, after having fully considered them, we are con vinced that they would not be effectual, or would be liable to insuperable objections. • We.have next to shoW, that a Register will not be productive of evils of equal importance with those which it will remove, and for that purpose we , shall pioceed to notice the different objections which may be urged against it.

The insecurity of titles, and the frauds occasioned by the concealment of deeds, have been felt as evils in this country, almost ever since the introduction of uses and trusts superseded the ancient mode of con. veyance by corporal livery. They earilf attracted the attention of the Legislature, and various ineiTee ,ttutUattempts were made to remove them. The Statute of Uses and the. Statute of Enrolment of Bargains and Sales, both passed in the reign of Henry the Eighth, had this object in view. These evils were among the first subjects which engaged the attention of the Commissioners appointed in the time of the Commonwealth to inqu►re into the in conveniences of the law, amongst whom were several distinguished lawyers, including Sir 'Matthew Hale, and we have perused the Bill for the establishment of Registers in each county, which they prepared and recommended. Great difficulty arose upon the questioniewhether the measure should be made so far retrospective as to compel the registry of exist ing incumbrances; and the ►discussion on that point does not appear to have closed before the termina tion of the Commission. u j n OF litylloN.

The officers of the parish of Aldgate were sum moned by a pauper named Franey, for having re fused to contribute to his support. The pauper is a young man ; and such was his disregard for the de licacies of life, that the moment he appeared at the bar the rest of the paupers s'iirunk back from him, in the fear of becoming sharers in the disgusting pe culiarity by which he was distinguished. A dozen times, too, during the hearing of the case, he put on one of those crying f#s which children alone are privileged to exhibit,and his tears, by 'wushintaway the dirt from the •upper !part of his face, made a most ludicrous contrast between that and the lower.

In addition to his complaint against the parish officers, he said, with tears in his e y e s, th a t he had a complaint to make against some villains for having robbed him of several articles of valuable furniture and the dead body of his mother.

I,AMIiEIILSTttEE'T. William Sheen, the man who was tried at the Old Bailey for the murder of his child, was charged with being concerned in stealing property of the va lue of 5001., which a gentleman named Cohen bud entrusted to a man named Smith, to remove. It has been discovered that Smith, on the day that he committed the robbery, took some of the goods home, and early next morning they were removed by Sheen in a cart. Sheen, in defence, said be took the goods to Bisbopsgatc- street, where they were received by ano ther man, who had another cart.—lie was remanded. UNION.HALL On Saturday the particulars of a man named Pratt, having voluntarily surrendered himself for a murder committed some years back, appeared in most-of the daily papers. The man who made the self•accusation was ordered to be kept in custody until inquiries were instituted as to the truth of an individual being murdered in that part of the coun try where Pratt alleged it was committed. Owing to the publicity given to the circumstances detailing Pratt's confession, a man named Berry, who seems to have some knowledge of the affair, called on chief constable Hall on Sunday morning, and said that having read an account of Pratt's appearance at this office, he (Berry) had come forward to state some facts connected with the murder of a Mr. Wood, a farmer, which was committed about eight years ago at a place called Marplc-road, near Stockport, i n Cheshire. The deceased, he said, was dragged out of his cart as he was returning home from mark e t, by two men, and he having resisted their attempts to rob him, they cruelly murdered him by beating his head with a large stone, which was found lyi ng beside the body of the unfortunate victim. Soon after the murder was perpetrated a man named John Dale was apprehended on the charge, and he had not been many days in gaol before he made a full con fession of his guilt; in the course of which he implicated a man named Pratt as having been concerned in the deed. Dale was subseqently tried for the murder, found guilty, and executed; I but, notwithstanding the exertions of the Police, his accomplice in the crime was not taken, and it was generally believed in the country that he had made his escape to AMerica. Berry, the chief con stable's informant, declares that he was present at the execution of Dale, and that his last words on the scaffold were expressive of his hope that Pratt would be token. Berry, in the course of his state ment, said that be Lad known Pratt previously to the murder of Mr. Wood, by seeing him at Stock port and other places in the same county. Chief constable Hall inquired if Berry now saw Pratt whether he should recollect him. The answer being in the affirmative, Berry was taken to the County Gaol, where Pratt is now confined, and after some hesitation with regard to identity, Berry said, although the man then in custody was much altered in appearance, yet he firmly believed he was the man who was supposed to have been concerned with Dale in the murder. It is remarkable that ever since the day Pratt surrendered himself, although he then expressed a desire to unfold the particulars of an atrocious murder, he has preserved the utmost silence on the subject, and appears now to suffer under great de pression of , spirits. He will be kept in custody until further inquiries are made respecting the affair, to accelerate which letters have been forwarded to the gaolers of Manchester and Stockport. The harvest in the . neighbourhood of this city is proceeding rapidly; the greater part of the corn already presents a pleasing picture in the stack-yards, par ticularly the wheat, which, it is the opinion of many ex perienced farmers, never 'wee in better condition, nor yielded more abundantly than it will this year. The !mans appear to be of good quality, and a full average crup.--- .Peterbotouyli Gazette. The establishment of General Registers has seve ral times been proposed in, Parliament ; but the measure does not appear to have engaged the atten tion of the Officers of the Crown, %to have been maturely considered, and its rejection may be fairly attributed rather to the expense which must attend a separate establishment in every county, ss hick was the plan constantly proposed, and to the difficulty of the details, than ;to any causes affecting the in trinsic merits of the question. About the' commencement of the last century, Local Registers were established, by several Acts of Parliament, in the wealthy and populous Counties of Middlesex and York, and a General Register for Ireland ; and all theie Registers have ever since been in operation. The Regulations of those Acts are imperfect, occasion unnecessary expense and trouble, and do ,not provide for all the important purposes of a Register. With all their disadvan tages, however, these Registers are generally con sidered to be on the whole prodUctive of good, and no attempt has been made to abolish them. At un earlier period Registers were established for the Bedford Level, and many of the British Co lonies; such an establishment has existed from a very early period in Scotland; Registers also exist in different States of America and Europe. In some countries the regulations respecting them form the most important part of the law of real property. We have ascertained, that in Scotland, and in the British Colonies, and in different States of Ger many, and in France, and other 'Statea of Europe, the Registers are considered to be productive of essential benefits, although in some of those countries inconvenience is acknowledged to arise from the registration not embracing all interests in real pro perty. In several countries Registers have been enlarged and extended, and we are not aware of a single instance in which a Register has been discon tinued. There does not appear tows to be any peculiarity in the laws of this country, or in the habits of the people, which should necessarily prevent or lessen the benefits of a General Register ; but the truth we think is, that those laws and habits have pre sented peculiar difficulties • us to the formation of u convenient plan of Registry; and this state of things, together with the inaptitude of the constitution of our Legislature for innovution, in matters about which the public interest is 1101 excited, has caused English lawyers to turn their attention to the im provement and extension of the expedients for sup plying the want of a Register, which we have ex plained at some length. Besides, the defects of the Registries in the two English counties, and in Ire land, have tended to prevent registration from be coming popular, and have even funnelled obvious - objections to the system. These circumstances, we think, account for the !Ong want of a well-considered and effectual effort fur the introduction among us of a General Register. Another ground of objection to a Register is ex pense. It has been said that such an establishment must require extensive buildings, and numerous officers, with large salaries, and that the charges for registration and search would materially increase the expense of alienation. We were anxious, at an early stage of our inquiry, to form a probable estimate of the expenses of u Ge neral Register, ccusithaing that we could not re commend the adoption of the measure, unless it should clearly appear that the amount of expense would he moderate, and that the advantages to be derived from a Register would fully compensate every expense attenling it ; for this purpose we care fully inspected most of the offices of the existing Registers in this country, and, from the books, and an examination of the officers, we collected the number of instruments which are registered, and the causes and amount of different expenses. From these sources of information, and front the returns of the land -tax assessments, of the population, and the stamp-tfuties, and from the cominunications.of `soli citors, we have been able to make some approach to a satisfactory estimate of the extent of the necessary establishm ent an d c h arges ; various details on this subject will b e f ound i n a paper subjoined to this Report. I t w il l there be seen, that the necessary establishment will be moderate, both 113 to extent of building and number of officers ; iu fact, we are satisfied th at t h e whole expense of the establish ment would b e l ess t h an t h e aggregate amount of the charges o f the existing Local Registers, the enrol ment office, and other offices, which may be consoli dated with u Register Office, or abolished. There are lucrative sinecures in most of these offices. In order to cover the expenses of the office, and the costs of re g i strat i on, we think the average expense of regist er i ng may be fairly taken at I!. ss„ and the average costs of searching the indexes and ob taining copies of them on the occasion of a purchase at 10s. These estimates include the expenses of transmission and postage. It is only in transactions of very small eminent that these expenses would be at all felt; such cases are at present attended with more then usual risk, because the ordinary modes of investigation, and expedients for protection, which would often cost more than the value of the pro perty, are usually omitted. We recommended, that in these traesactions, the charges for registration and for - the transmission of the deeds to the office, be considerably reduced, or entirely relinquished. It would have been sufficient to show that the costs of registration would be of little importance-ia comparison with the advantages of is Register. to take ft just view of the case, it is necessary to bring into the account the various expenses which a Another objection which has been urged against a Register is that it will be productive of delay. The delay which is apprehended must arise either from the search of the Register upon the investiga tion of the title, or from the time which must elapse between the "execution of the deed, and the comple tion of the subsequent proceedings necessary for giving to the purchaser or lender the protection of the Register. According to the plan of registration we propose, the preliminary search will require very little time. 'I here will be a great saving of the time now con sumed upon the investigation and completion of titles, in malOng searches in various places, in in qisiring after documentary evithlnce, and in tracing and getoing in outstanding legal estates. We are satisfied that the effect of a Register will be to ex pedite very much the investigation of titles, and this we consider one of its great advantages. At present, upon u sole of mortgage the transac tion is completed upon the execution of the deed; but after the establishment of a Register,there must be an interval between the execution of the. deed and its registration, during which the purchaser or ' mortgagee might be defeated. It is obvious, there fore, that until the fact of registration is made known to the purchaser or mortgagee, the money cannot safely be paid ever, unless some special provision be Made; this, in the clew of a transaction occurring at a distance from London, may require a few days.— Another difficulty may arise: the owner of the estate may decline to part with the deed without re ceiving the money. The latter difficulty may indeed be obviated by a deposit of the money in the hands of a third person. But we propose to meet both these difficulties by the expedient of a caveat, which is explained in a subsequent part of our Roport : this will prevent any delay whenever there is time for entering the caveat during the investiga tion of the title, or the preparation of the deeds. In the very rare cases in which the urgency of the occasion will not allow of time to transmit the caveat and receive buck a certificate of the registration of it, parties can only act upon confidence, which, in transactions admitting of no delay, is always more or leas the case; and we are satisfied that even in such transactions the risk trill be diminished by a Register. The objection to a Register which has been most frequently urged, and appears to be the most popu lar, is, that it will occasion an °velure of private transactions. . It is not essential to iiiic i inbjects of a Register that it should be open to and provision might be made for restricting' the access to it. The right of inspection might be confined to persons showing that they were entitled to some inquiry; or the indexes might be open, amisthe right of see ing the registered instruments might be restricted.• If any restriction were made, care must be taken that no one who ►night have any interest in seeking information should be excluded, and that means of immediate redress should be given against any im proper refusal at the office. The plan which we propose is well adapted to the admission of regula tions of this nature. It will be found that this plan will afford less facility for inspection, without a pro• I,er object, than any other. The arrangements are such as must tend to lessen the objections of those who dread disclosure. We are of opinion, however, that the objection to an open Register on the ground of disclosure, i s entitled to little regard. e are satisfied that the information which will actually be obtained, except by persona requiring it for just and useful purposes, will be very !linked. Few persons, except those who may have un interest in the estate, will have a sufficient motive to incur the trouble and expense of the requisite search, ,and we have not found that evil has resulted from the disclosure of any of the numerous transactions relating to real property which are at present recorded. No serious complaint bus been made of the facility with which wills can be seen at Doctors' Commons; and we believe that this objection has never been urged against the Registers in Middle,ex and Yorkshire, or any of those which are established in other countries. The Register which we propose would not in clude any instruments executed previously to. the time of its commencement, and therefore there would be no disclosure of the existing state of titles or of any transactions' which have already taken place. If the disclosure were likely to be considerable, we are satisfied that whatever evils might arise from it would be greatly overbalanced by the benefits of a Register: However, wohout reference to such benefits, there seem - to be strong grounds for con tending, that, upon the whole, the disclosure would be productive of more goad than evil; but we are sensible that this point is one upon which a difier-' ence of opinion may be entertained. To enter into this question--- It is obvious that no inconvenience can result from the disclosure of sales, because in theii'nature they are public transactions. The cases in which objection may be made to dis closure are, we conceive, confined to three classes: securities for money; settlements, and family sir rangements ; and defects of title. We are of opinion that, upon this whole, the.dis cloSure of securities would be productive of more good than Certain information of the state of property would adVance legitimate credit, and facilitate the means of botrawing money on good security. if it could be ascertained that sin estate was unitteumbeeed, the owner might probably be able, without to obtain an immediate lotto upon his personal- se-' carity. The reasons , for obtaining money are so various,- that the fact of the existence of a mortgage is no impeachment of the credit of the proprietor of an estate. To prevent fictitious credit would be an important benefit to the public. The law at present requires annuities_ and judg ments (the securities which parties are most unwill ing to ifiseloie) to be recorded ; and it is not un worthy of reinark, that the provisions which, upon the estublislimeot of the present Registers in this :I ,o it t , 7 i t t r )s ry, t,fe 7 b r y e r ua e r ci t u le to p iting only yt tt hte registry inconvenience egititor ainfmerrono.

Wait% and merchants of London, whose , answerx to our questions will be found in the. Appendix to 'ibis Report. We think that the disclosure'of settlements and family arrangements would not be attended with any important consequence*. .-' • , •'' - ' The instances are very rare in which children and other 'persons entitled under- settlements do not acquire a knowledge of their expeetaticitli. A family settlement is usually known to so many persons, that if it were desirable, it would not be possible to con ceal its contents. The eldest son always "knaves whether estate is entailed, and the younger children are seldom ignorant of the amount of the portions secured for them. If an accurate acquaintance with their interest should, afford some , facility for the alienation of their expectatteies, , on the` other. hand, the apprehension of exposure t& which ieggistration would lead would epergne as an important cheek. It will not be necessary' that every fsmily trans action should appear upon ' the Register. 'ln teeny cases, such as that of an appointment of* reversionary interest, or of portions in favour of children, the registration may be safely delayed'; end any' pre vision which it might be desirable ,to conceal might be made by vesting an interest in trustees, in whom confidence could be reposed : the peril would be no greater than exists at present in all -settlements of money iii' the funds,. and in many 'other rases in which trusts are not expressed in theinstruments by which the property is vested in the trustees. The disclosure which ,might be afforded of de fects in title may be convidered in two points of view; first, with respect to those which may mite from the disclosure of instruments, showing the existence of rights inconsistent with the title claimed by the person in possession, and which might have been concealed, if the Register, hid . not been esta blished; and, secondly, with respect to those which may arise from errors in any instr u ment through which the title claimed by , the person in posatestion is divided. Alon the *vile arising from the Brit, it is the princi pal of of a Register Its Word' pro tection ; and with Marone* to ',inure tithe, ihili' dis closure of such instrummits mast be' torishlatvd is unmixed good.

We think, indeed, it insy reasonably be contended, on general principles, that' the possibility,, of dia.. closure of errors in future deeds, is not an objection to a Register. Any measure which would tend to disturb present possession would be mischievons. It is asserted by the opponents of a Register, that its establishment will increase the insecurity of titles. This implies a total failure of the plan we pro pose; the chief object of which is to make titl es wore. The objection may perhaps be resolved into the following particulars : that a title may be defeated by the prior registration of a subsequent document; that the safety of title will depend on the fidelity, skill, and activity of agents; and that the investi gation of a title on the Register will be attended with uncertainty. - ' 'We here briefly observe that we propose the ex pedient of caveats to afford security for the interval prior to registration; that the confidence to be re posed in agents will not be greeter than is now re posed in them, nor than is necessarily required in the ordinary course of business, and that no uncertainty will attend the investigation nfa title* the Register we propose. VOr a detailed auswer to the objection, we must refer to other parts of this Report. ' I3ONAPARTE'S VISIT THE TEMPLE.
