CAUTION AGAIN.-1he law requires all
unregistered deeds, conveyances. &c., to
be registered by the 1st of October, or
they lose their legal force. We therefore
advise every one having such legal docu
ments to have them registered at once, or
they will lose the title to the property they
cover.
The law also requires all guardians of
minors estates to make report to the
OA 4ODdLO 10 ISAS"
their bonds once in three years. Those
holding guardianships would do well to
attend to making the required report, and
thus save themselves and the Judge Of
Probate trouble, and themselves expense.
