MANCITEST ER RAILWAY.

SATURDAY EVENING.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Tide place is all bustle and activity, the ingress Of
strangers is beyond any precedent, not a single coach
arrives without being loaded with visitors. The Duke of
Wellington is expected hourly at Helton Park, the resi-
dence of the Earl of Wilton, at which place his Grace in-
tends sojourning during his stay in this part of the
country. The dinner to be given to his Grace by the
borouglireeve and constables of this town is fixed to take
place at the Theatre on Monday next. The magistrates
and inhabitants for some time past have been most busily
employed in preparing to receive his Grace in a manner
consonant with his exalted station and distinguished cite.
ratter; for this purpose metamorphoses of the most ex-
tensive description have taken place. The Theatre has,
thanks to the carpenters, &c. of this good town, been con-
verted into a dining-room, whose tables will groat► on
Monday night with all that could please the eye or satisfy
the palate of the most rapacious Alderman. Soup, veni-
son, game of every description, fish, chickens, turkica,
saddles of mutton, rounds of beef, and a thousand other
good things of this life crowd the larder of Mr. Deane, of
the Bush Inn, who has been appointed by the Committee,
the purveyor anti suprri►►tendant of thin intended sump-
tuous repast. No less than six turtles, weighing neatly
1,000 pounds, have been sacrificed, deer and genie have
been seat from mast of the nobility in the neighbourhood.
The Duke of Devonshire has presented Mr. Deane with a
fine deer of upwards of 200 pound weight. • French cooks
and confectioners, from London, have been engaged, the
Bush Inn inundated with waiters, calender-houses con-
verted into kitchens, and the poor cats and dogs ►eared
from their once quiet habitations. No lees a won then one
hundred guineas is to be given to the manager for the use
of the Theatre, no expenses will he spared, ►ndeed to such
an extent has every thing been carried already, that it is
reported the produce from the tickets, two guineas each,
will not cover much more than half the expenses, and a
subscription has been set on foot to make up the deficiency.
All the tickets, between 700 and 800, have been disposed
of, and could as many more have been accommodated, they
would all have been bought up. With the exception of
the Theatre, there is no place in Manchester specious
enough to hold 800 prime. This is much to be lamented
in this instance. because, should not the subscription be
sufficient to make up every deficiency, the Committee of
Management, to whom every praise is due for their great
exertions, will probably become sull'erers. It is under-
stood that the Duke of Wellington will accompany the
Railway Directors from Liverp of to Manchester, to open
the railway, On Wednesday, and, after having partaken of
a cold collation at the Company's warehouste, will return
to Liverpool again, and dine with the Directors. His
Grace, it is alto reported, intends dining with the Mayor
and Corporation of Liverpool on Thursday. The original
' price of tickets for the excursion in the railway and the
dinner (of which only a limited number has been issued)
was five pounds; but such has been the anxiety evinced to
view this imposing spectacle, that, in many instances,
eight and ten pounds have been offered to these who had
been lucky enough to make early applications, and had got
tickets. The carriage reserved for the Duke of Welling-
ton and the other exalted perstt►agea who intend honour.
ing the Directors with their company Is of the most splendid
description ; it is no less than 32 feet long, and eight
wide ; its interior fittings are magnificent in the extreme,
and reflect great credit on the goad taste of the builders,
Messrs. Edmundsons, of Liverpool. Many experimental
excursions have taken place, all which have succeeded be-
yond the most sanguine expectations. The general rate of
travelling has been from lb to 2b suites per hour. Yes.
terday the extent of 31 miles was traversed in an hour and
20. minutes. This rate of travelling doubtless would
startle the good people of London ; but here it sterns to be
thought nothing :of, and there is, in fact, much less
danger than might be imagined, the construction of the
carriages being such as to provide as much as po►sible
against every accident.

ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
MANCIigIITZR, hUNDAY MORNING.

The Duke of Wellington, on his way to Heaton, the
seat of the Earl of Wilton, passed through this town last
night in a carriage and four. Long before his Grace's
arrival the road between Stockport and Manchester was
for two or three miles crowded with persons of every de-
scription, anxious to get a eight of the Hero of Waterloo.
His Grace passed through at a rather quick pace. Curiosity
seemed to be the only feeling that excited the multitude,
for no eathusiastic demonstrations of respect, such as are
usual on the entry of great men into provincisl towns,
were exhibited towards his Grace. Indeed, it MA auti-
cipeted that some unwelcoming salutes would burst front
the assembled spectators, but nth, anticipation, however,
was not resbxed. The Earl of Wilton had sent a relay of
horses to meet his noble visitor at Bullock's-smithy. His
Grace is expected to attend divine service at Prestwich
church to-day, accompanied by his noble host and the other
distinguished personages, who are sojourning at the Earl's
delightful seat at Houton. The good folks of this town
met with no small disappointment yesteidek, in come-
'pence of the non-excursion of the Directors of the Rail-
road as was expected. Every thing - connected with this
mighty undertaking seems near completion ; hundreds of
workmen were yesterday employed to get all in roailintss
in this neighbourhood for the exciirsion on Wednesday
next, which it it generally understood wilt be kept no a
universal holiday here. It seems to be very much doubted
whether Mr. Brougham will be able to tweed the dinner
on Monday, though the people of this town are on the tip-
toe of impatience to see this legal Colossus. Hundreds
of }untie have left here this morning for Prestwich Nhurch,
iletertnintd, if possible, to get a sight of England's Premier,
Medals have been struck to commemorate the-opening of
the railway, which are to bei) seen
of tamest every shop in the town. Prints of different
views of the railway are thick as hail, and nothing talked
of here but this great era in the itniothvehtlnrd.ows

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

LAW OF REAL PROPERTY.—No. VIII.
sEcoND REPORT OP TILE comansslONEßS.
(Continued from our Paper of Saturday.)

And first, we think it would be expedient to give
personal relief in an action for damages against
vendor or mortgager who should fraudulently defeat
his own grant by a subsequent conveyance; the
amount of these damages might be left to the di*.
eretion of a jury, who might give the party either
the sum obtained by the fraudulent grant, or the
original price, or the actual value of the property
lost, with any additional damage he might hare
sustained through improvements or otherwise,—
Against the heir or devisee of the wrong doer, or a
volunteer claiming from him who should- make such
sale or mortgage, we think the like action should ins
given ; but unless the latter person should be proved
to have knowledge of the unregistered grant', the
damages to be recovered when he conveyed the
este e, should, we think, be restricted to the price
obtained by him, and interest. It is considered,
and we eaneeive with justice, that a Court of Equity
is a better tribunal for cases of fraud in ganeral
than a jury ; but the fraud now in question is of a
simple nature, well suited, as we think, to the latter
tribunal; yet, if thought tit, concurrent jurisdiction
with regard to frauds of this nature might be given
to Courts of Equity.
In case of a sale by the assignees of a bankrupt,
or of an insolvent debtor, of property conveyed by
him by a deed not registered, no action should lie
for the unregistered grantee.
Damages, we think, should be given to a devisee
against an heir or supposed devisee, who had availed
himself of the registry law to sell the devised estate;
but if such sale should appear to have been matte
without fraud (the true will being unknown to the
seller), such damage should be restricted to the
price obtained, and interest.
It may be thought deserving of consideratilfm,
whether the fraudulent seller should ,not be made
criminally responsible, and whether the purchaser in
a clear case of fraud m_ight not be Indictable with
him as a conspirator. But such an enactment we.
think open to many objections in point of principle
and of convenience, and, upon the whole, we con-
sider that the case should be treated' us alnere civil
injury.

We are of opinion that the like pentane! redress
mny be given against the purchaser, where aetual
knowledge of the conveyance he assists in defeating
was brought home to him ; such a provision must
tend powerfully to prevent the commission of frauds
of this nature, and to diminish the force of the po-
pular objection to the plan of making registration
prevail against notice. The remedy must of course
be extended against a subsequent purchaser, if he
took under circumstances itnplicating him in the
fraud ; as against an heir-at-law or devisee, or even
a volunteer, taken without notice, it might be given,
limited to the actual value of the property possessed
by such person under the original fraudulent pur-
chase, and with an option of re-conveying the pro-
perty, and accounting for the profits received by him,
instead of paying the damages. This provision would
not affect the security of title, the great object of a
Register. The fear, however, of being sued for
damages, in case an unregistered conveyance shall
be found to exist, will operate to deter persons 'from
purchasing or taking securities on •property as to
which there shall be any suspicion of the existence
of such a conveyance.
• It is obvious that the pecuniary circumstances of
' the party may make a judgment far damages against
him an ineffectual remedy. And it has been seg.
gc,ted that, as an additional remedy, such damages
may be made a lien in equity on the lands, as
against the party recovered agains4 or those claim-
ing under him as volunteers, or by net of law, or
even that after such judgment equity may have
jurisdiction to decree a reconveyance of the lauds
against a party or parties in the like situation, and
an account of rents and profits. The lien might he
made to attach immediately after the judgment,. by
registering a notice of it, which, to be effectual,
should be followed up by a suit within .a limited
period. This plan is objectionable, es being Or.
euitens, and because it would 11164 some tindenhy
to encroach on the system; but we are riot '4401-
sible of its benefits us an additional eettiedtegainit
fraud.
In case of loss by non-registration, throughAm
neglect or fraud of an agent, he would be answer-
able to the full extent of the loss siettained, and it
would be open to the Courts further to punish an
attorney or solicitor guilty of such breach of duty,
by striking him off the rolls.
For the case of loss, through neglect of the
Jivers of the Registry Office, the fullest pecuniary
compensation should be given by the office, or the
public, i mlependent of the liability of any other parties.
We shall proceed to the consideration how far
reliershould be given against the effect cf registras
tion iii other canes of fraud, and in case of mistake.
It would be impossible to enumerate or make
special provision for the several eases of fraud, so as
not to incur the hazard of leaving some unprovided
for; it seems best, on the whole, after excluding
the case of mere notice, to leave open the jurisdic-
tion of equity in all rases of fraud.
For this purpose no special provision seems nes
cesssry, since equity interferes on its own principles
without the aid of express authority wherever it is
not expressly excluded.
Mistakes may be mistakes in registration of in-
struments, or mistakes in the instruments themselves

unconnected with registry ; for the former some
express provision must be made by the Registry
Act ; the latter should be left to equity, which will
interfere on its own principles.
We think that the jurisdiction in cases both of
fraud and mistake connected with registration, unless
so fur as the power of corricting mistakes may be
given to the office, should be confined to equity,
because the remedy would be incomplete without
putting some instrument on the Register to secure
the true right, and still more because, proceeding on
equitable grounds, the Court Would only give
relief against those who ought to he affected us
parties, and privies and volunteers claiming under
them ; this requires no provision. It may, pet haps,
be expedient to allow the Court in a proper ease to
order an alteration of the entry on the Register as
to date or otherwise, or a supplemental registration.
We think, however, special provision must he
made that a purchaser, after registering his thed,
should have all the same grounds of relict at hoe
and in equity against a subsequent purchaser, who
has acquired priority by registration, as the original
seller would have if the ant conveyance bad nor
been made.
Possession under an unregistered deed should I,
adverse for the purposes of the Statutes of limit*.
tions, and the provisions of the Registry Act should
not interfere with those Statutes.
