teli:aformation having been received of the most distressing charac-

er destitution in many remote parishes of Ireland and Scotland, in
inleb there are but few families who can be considered as the resi-
41ilt gentry, and who are therefore exposed to urgent and overpow-

=Faraishing population, to au extent far exceeding any means
blewr power—it has been determined, in dependence upon
endna an to form a Committee in London for the purpose of
er efforts made to relieve the multitudes who are suffering
the present awful calamity.
The Committee propose to apply the Subscriptions that may be in-
•Lsi.lteel to their care, either in sending supplies of food to Ireland
:!!!Scotland, or in such other manner as may secure a conscientious
and faithful administration of the funds to the relief of the most ne-
essiMus and the most deserving, in strict conformity with the rules
.Which shall be laid down by the London Committee.
relief proposed will be afforded by the distribution food,
.othing, and fuel, but in no cases shall money be given to the par-
ties relieved
•
The sick and infirm, " the fatherless children and widow,i," who,
7f42,1 constitute a very numerous class of the sufferers, and who are
__ great degree beyond the reach of the Government plans of relief,
H

_taCe to be given. Should it be in any case practicable, sonic re-
bei n work, of an agricultural or other generally useful nature, will

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE
AMENDMENT OF THE LAW.
A meeting of this society was held yesterday at their
rooms, 21, Regcnt•street, for the purpose of admitting
some rew members, and of hearing a communication
from Mr. Boyle, of the state of New York (advocate),
upon the law and practice of registering deeds and
instruments in the United States of America. The
attendance of members was very thin. Lord Brougham

presided.
The SecnEmaYhaving read the minutes, the following
gentlemen, having been ballotted for, were admitted
members :—Messrs. Alexander Colvin,EdwardLawrance,
A. E. Cockburn, F. N. Walsh, Alexander Pulling, and
Peter Cater.
Mr. STEWART, Q.C., then read the report upon the
subject of registration of deeds in the United States.
The document, which was of a voluminous character,
described the great facility for registering legal instru-
ments in the United States, and the economy with
which letters of administration and probates of wills
were obtained. The practice referred to was that
which prevailed in the State of New Ycrk, but the
law, with differences of detail, was the same in all the
states. In the State of New York there is a reeistrar
of deeds, who takes custody of the legal records to
which the report referred, but here there is no
registrar of deeds, the state is divided into two counties,
e.ieh county having au officer, bound in sureties, who,
by virtue of his offtee, is the recording officer of that
county, and takes chat MI" of all records, N, hieli may be
examined at his efface without fee or reward. There is,
in addition, another offieer in each county, called the
Sarrogate, or Judge of' Probate, who is ens oweted to
grant letters testamentary and adininiitratiron of will.
The registration of instruments affecting title to real
estate is constituted, by filing the instrument in the office
of the surrogate or clerk of the county in the county in
which the estate exists, or in the several counties sepa-
rately in which it may be situated, if there should be
several, that being done, the registration is completed
for all legal purposes. Parchment is seldom or never
used, and on receiving the paper, the clerk of the county
minutely examines it, and notes the day and even the
hour when it is received, after which he has it carefully
transcribed, and placed in the volume of public records.
The instruments entitled to be thus recorded are all
deeds and instruments conveying real estate, or creating
an interest in real estate for more than a year, or other-
wise charging real estate for more than a year with
effect to be valid against subsequent purchasers and
mortgagees, and those instruments are only valid from
the moment when they are thus formally recorded. In-
struments affecting less than freehold require one sub-
scribing witness, but if more than freehold, two sub-
scribing witnesses, and in every case a subscribing
witness must appear before a judge of the Court of
Record, or other person properly qualified, such as a
commissiorer of records, and prove that the party sign-
ing and sealing did so in his presence, and with the
purpose set forth in the instrument. The greatest care
is taken to secure the proper authentication and regis-
tration of such records, and any neglect or this is fatal
to the validity of the document. Judgments and devises
can by that record become liens for twenty years, and
then, if necessary, the lien can be renewed by scire facias.
The facility thus afforded of obtaining access to the
volume of records has proved of great advantage to the
public, and renders the expense of examining fur records,
&c., comparatively trifling.
The report, which is very ably drawn, went at length
into the details of the law upon this subject, the above
being merely an outline of its leading features.
The report was received, but without any decision on
the part of the meeting either us to the approval or dis-
approval of the whole or any part of the details.
There having been no other business before the society
for that evening, the meeting adjourned to the first Wed-
nesday in February.
