PROSPECTUS.

This Company has been established for the purpose of
facilitating the Registration of Titles to Landed Estates,
under the provisions of the " Land Registration Act ;" and
also for the purchase of Freehold Land, the titles to which
have been already registered, or are capable of being brought
within the operation of the Act.
Lariie profits have within the last few years been derived
from the judicious purchase of Landed Estates and blocks of
Freehold property in the vicinity of fhe Metropolis, and their
re-sale in lots for building and other purposes. The success
of these undertakings is, in a great measure, attributable to
the extraordinary rise in the value of land in the suburbs of
large towns, and the constantly increasing demand for sites
of villa residences—a demand which must keep pace with the
growth of the national prosperity and population.
The chief obstacle hitherto to these most legitimate enter-
prises has been found in the difficulties, delays, and expense
attendant upon the transfer of land, and a;l subsequent deal-
ings with it ; while cumbrous titles, and the continual neces-
sity of their re-examination, all tend to depreciate the value
of landed property,
To remedy this evil the "Land Registration Act" was
passed, whereby the transfer of Real Estate is simplified,
and a mass of parchment deeds is condensed into a clear,
simple, and parliamentary title ; but, notwithstanding the
manifest advantages conferred by this measure, the public
have hitherto availed themselves of it only to a limited ex-
teat, partly from ignorance of the mode of procedure to be
adopted, partly from difficulties beyond the control of indivi-
duals, arising from the nature of the encumbrances and ex-
tent of the charges already existing on the property.
The especial object of this Company is to assist owners of
property who, from want of funds or other cans. 5, have
hitherto been unable to avail themselves of the advantages
offered by the Act. The Company will undertake the exa-
mination and registration of titles to Landed Estates; it will
rrovide the funds for the necessary preliminary expenditure ;
discharge the various incumbrances, where the value of the
estate bears a just proportion to the amount charged upon
it; and will also facilitate the arrangements of persons de-
sirous of lending or borrowing on landed security. Whilst,
from the nature of these operations and the securities held
by the Company, it will be prot« ctcd against all risk of loss,
considerable profit must be derived, and owners of land will
find their advantage in the increased value of their property.
The Company will purchase Registered and other Landed
Estates, and re-sell them in lots or otherwise, where the ad-
vantages of a simple and Parliamentary title enable them to
'iced the distribution and re-sale without delay and without
expen SC.
The Directors have received trom various quarters offers of
immediate and profitable business, and the negotiations al-
ready entered into with influential parties will insure for the
Company a lucrative and widely-extended business. .
Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be
obtained of the Bankers. Brokers, Solicitors, and at the
Offices of the Company, where the Articles of the Association
may be seen.
In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will
be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be al-
lotted than is applied for, the deposit will be retained towards
the payment on allotment, and the balance of any) returned
to the applicant.

2 If so, whether it is worth his ;while to invest at 6 per
cent, for 24 years (the probable period of construction), in
order to have, at the end of that time, shares in an under-
ing at least as good as the existing Metropolitan Railway,
whose stock is now, worth £3O, and probably by that time
will be worth £5O, £6O, or even .£lOO premium. •
It is int, nded to proceed vigorously with the immediate
construction of the portion of the line between Westminster
S ation and Cannon-street, so that it may be opened to the
public contemporaneously with the Thames Emban .went.
It must further be remembered that this line will practi-
cally enjoy the advantage, which is possessed by few others,
of being protected against any competition. Ao line could
livert traffic from it which did not run closely parallel ; and
such a ins is rendered out of the question, alike by the in-
terference with property which it would involve, and by the
expressed views of Parliament.
Undisturbed by competition, the traffic of a leading metro-
politan line= t always be a rapidly growing quantity, as is
sufficiently proved by the fact that the traffic of the existing
Metropolitan Railway has increased in the last six months
by £5O) per week, or 27 per cent., and is still steadily in-
creasing.
To meet the convent nce of subscribers who have expressed
a desire to pay up in full, it has been decided to allow any one
who wishes it, until further notice, to do so, receiving inte-
rest at the rate of six per cent. per annum, half-yearly, until
the line is opened for traffic.
On registration of the scrip, of which due notice will be
given, the o,rtificates of £lOO will be divided into five shares
01 £2O each,
Prospectuses and forms of application may be obtained of
Messrs. Cazenove and Co., and Messrs. George Seymour and
Co., the brokers of the Company; or at the Temporary
Offices of the Company, 41, Threadneedle-street. Tne de-
posit of £3 per cent. on the amount appaed for must be paid
to the Company's bankers, on applicatlon, which will be re-
turned if no allotment be made.
