THE REVISED CODE.

THE RIVER SHANNON.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, who had a motion
on the paper for the appointment of a select committee to
inquire into the causes of the great and frequent inundation
of the river Shannon and its tributaries, said he was com-
pelled to postpone bringing forward the subject until that
day week.
DECLARATION OF TITLE BILL.
Lord CRAN WORT H moved the third reading of this
bill, the object of which was to enable parties to go before
the Court of Chancery and make a declaration that they
had a perfectly good title to certain property, and, having
made the declaration, that they might then go into the
market and sell the land if they felt so disposed. The bill
created no new tribunal, neither did it involve any expense ;
and as it was founded on the principle of the Encumbered
Estates Court in Ireland, which had worked so well that he
thought it desirable that that system should be introduced
into this cluntry. The bill could do no harm, but in his
opinion it was calculated to do a very great deal of good,
especially as it was founded on the system which had been
in existence in Ireland for the last 14 years.
Lord CHELMSFORD explained his reasons for agree-
ing to the bill which differed so essentially from the one he
had introduced.
The bill was then read a third time and passed.
SECURITY OF PURCHASERS BILL.
Lord CRAN WORD moved the third reading of this
bill, which was for registering the declarations made under
the bill their lordships had just agreed to.
After a few words from Lord ST. LEONARDS, the bill
was read a third time and passed.
TRANSFER OF LAND BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the third reading
of this bill.
Lord ST. LEONARDS said he looked upon the bill as
one for the general registry of all assurances, a proposal
which the select committee had been unanimous in con-
demning. The measure would call for the establishment
of a new tribunal to be called a registers court, and the ex-
penses of register and clerks followed as a necessary conse
quence.
