Thomas Carroll. 81 Tacoma next read
his paper on ..rsffeY OF Redemption
Laws The speaker went back 10 the
reign Of Elizabeth, when the doctrine of
the equity 81 redemption iirst began TO be
mooted. being one Of the outgrowths of
that long struggle IN England for pre-
dominance between the laws Of Rome and
England. In the statesof Washington
there, were three stages of REDEMPTION of
property legal. squitabteahdS ststu-
tory Limitations. The speaker then detailed
at length the ttfreeSstagss and found de-
fects IN each. He was not willing to re-
turn to the old common law doctrine that
mortgage was a dead pledge, but he
wanted TO enlarge rather than decrease the
.rightiof redemption. to hsoaden not lessen
the equity. As remedy for existing evils
in the redemption Jaws, Mrs. Carroll sug-
gested the.fpI!owing remedies:
f. Firsts-Rstaining the present law
providing that jnagmenta shall be lien
on real estate, subject te the statute of ex-
emp1lons and limitations.

An interesting discussion followed the
