The memorial to the Queen alluded to by Mr.

the meeting, ran us follows :

but, as it has yielded to the cuumu•lis of England. and so allowed

chase of Lands, and the l'ratialer of Lands ( Ireland
Bills has ,jest appeared :
Your isi iiiii taus., appointed at an advanced of

l. A bill for the Registration of Assurances ; 2. A bill to
facilitate the Salo and Purchase of Land ; 1. A bill to
fluilitate the Transfer of !And in Ireland; proceeded, in
the hest instance, to consider the bill for the Registration
of Assurances. They examined the petitiona presented
for and against the bill, and heard evidence, upon it : and
they are of opinion that many of the serious objections
urged in the petitions against the registration of all I/141411r.
Knees relating to landed property an; well luuuded, and
have been substantiated.
Your committee Mal that the bill contains within itself'
two distinct principles of registration : one, contemplating
the registration of all assurances in any manner relating to
laud and the legal or equitable estates and interests d),•re.
iu ; the other proposing that the legal title alone shall be
entered on the registry, and that there shall be no necessity
to register the instruments which declare or transmit the
beneficial interests or equitable ownership. The two other
bills which have been referred to your committee proceed
twill a principle ' lar to that contained in the first bill
viz., the principle of keeping the registered ownership
wholly separate and apart from the equitable right or title.
Your committee, pursuing this ides and confining their
attention to that principle, haw-examined some witnesses
of high professional reputation. and had brought tinder
their mince a scheme for the tvgistration of ' title.' or of
' legal ownership,' which. if it can be fully developed twit
made capable ..r easy practical operation, would appear to
