IL, That at that time the fremen considered

The comm i~ssioner Of the State OF Maine
who have looked into the matter recon-
mend the Torrens system because II makes
the title the legal and final effect Of all in
struments relative TO the land.
The register general Of N OF the Brit
ish provinces, where the Torrens system
had been In use for some time enumerates
the following virtues: The title TO real
property has been greatly simplifed with
out radical changes in the general law;
stability o~f.title with safety to purchaser
aud mortgages has been secured; the
country Is shown by the register at a
glance, and whether incumh ered or not;
the salable value of property is increas-
ed; both vender and purchaser are en-
abled to accurately ascertain the expenses
Of carrying out any sale or transfer; trust
estates and beneticiaries are afforded bet
ter protection; Misrepresentation OF val
ues is made difficult; the investigation
of prior titles is lone away with.
or course the Torrens system does not
meet with universal approval, and one OBJ
lection TO 1t is TINT its adoption would
deprive attorneys Of a large share OF their
business. In answer to this objection the
advocates OF the system claim that after
its adoption the transfers of land would be
SO much more numerous that the lawyers
would make up in the number OF fees
what they might lose In the size OF them.
The system OF land transfers which il
in use in most OF the states Of the United
States is practically the same as that
brought over here from England and
that was created by Parliament in 1904.

are sliding on the rail, " remarked one OF the
twain. 81 guess not" replied the other.
Don't you see that IL is turning round just
the same rs the wheel on the outside OF the
curve" And then they fell 10 discussion,
each maintaining his contention with all the
force OF argument be could bring to bear

him to earth. Then the inaamed and in

Two or three OF the Gaspee Company who
stuck TO him to the last succeeded in getting
him on his feet again. Then he begged his
assailants not TO kill him.
His friends assisted him 10 the Worcester
passenger station, and they were hurrying
him toward one OF the waiting rooms. where
they hoped to be able TO defend him. when
again the bowling Niagaras set upon him.
They beat the now helpless man with their
fists. kicked him b~rutsliy. and finally a blow
from an iron bar two feet in length. welded
by one Of the mob. fell upon his head. and he
sank sonseless to the tracks. Tnen the
Niaearas withdrew, and 1t was about time,
for their brutal work was done.
