THE REGISTRY OF DEEDS.

We are glad TO see that the Board of Alder
men have passed bill making an appropri-
alton for the proper indexing of deeds at the
Registers ofice. and hope the lower board
will promptly give their assent to the meas
ure. The present condition of the indexes is
exceedingly discreditable TO the cities of Wash
layton and Georgetown and the county. 1t
really seems as if they had been kept in their
present imperfect mutilated condition for the
sole benefit of the lawyers, throwing the whole
work of searching for even the plainest title
into their hands, for it is notorious that none
but a legal expert and an experienced real es-
late lawyer at that, can pick his way through
the present records To all others they are a
sealed book, a fact specially onerous TO the
poor man. who paying 500 for a lot, is obliged
TO give a quarter as much more, or S25 to n
lawyer to ascertain if the title is good.
We paid visit to the Registers office lately,
and v lille there, Mr.. Hall, the new Register
who seems disposed TO institute a radical
reform IN the working of the office generally,
for the benefit of the public-called our atten-
ton to the condition of these indexes, and we
soon began to appreciate how it is that the
work OF prosecuting searches OF title is one of
such tedious circumlocution. The present in
dexes are generally copies of old indexes,
which were very imperfect, as all examiners
are well aware. Nearly all of the present
indexes are in 4 worn and dilapidated condI-
ton. Parts of letters, and even entire letters,
are missing, having been lost or never inserted,
and all of them are more or less torn and OBJ
liberated. There is no regular index referring
to liber and folio, from aboat July, 1852, to
March ], 1863 In brief, the indexes are in such
condition that if they are not replaced by a new
set, the examination of titles, or to find a
deed VII. soon be almost impractIcable; and as
above shown, in order that the new ones
should be entirely correct they must be made
directly from the original records, throwing
aside entirely the present indexes or the older
ones upon which they were based as being
alike defective and thus calculated to mislead
And in order that the examination of titles and
searches for deeds may be further facilitated it
rs desirable that the squares and lots should be
designated in the new indexes as il not the case
in the present indexes
With a set of perfect indexes thus prepared
directly from the liber, and with proper desig-
nation of square and lot, it would not be diff
cult for any man of ordinary intelligence to
make his own searches in all ordinary cases of
title.
The cooperation of Georgetown and the Lew
Court will of course be requisite, and ii is not
doubted that they will accord it readily, so ap-
parent is the necessity for the work
