In a recent issue OF the Hanover"H erald,
Hon -. % Cardwcl published COM
munication on the Torrens land registry
system, IN which are misstatcmcnts-
unintentionally made, Of course-but
which should be corrected. In one place
he says:
& .The proposition rs laid before the last
General Assembly. provided not only for
a new system OF registering titles TO land,
J hut also a new method OF transferring
titles abolishing the time-h onored rule
that lands shall pass only by deed or
will"
First of all, 1t is mistake to say that
.'undcr the time-honorcd rule" to when,
he refers lands pass only by deed or
will . since it is we'll known that lands
commonly pass by descent. and that title
may also be acquired by adverse posses
& sion and in other ways. In the next
place. no proposition has ever been lald
before the General Assembly for the aboli-
ton of deeds. The bill for the estapllsh-
. ,nent Of the Torrens system made as
few changes as possible in the general
laws, and never suggested the abandon
ment of deeds or wills. When one mas
his land registered he Is given a certlticate
of title something like q certificate OF
stock or a registered bond; and when ne
wants to transfer that land he must
present his certificate of title along with
4 a deed to the clerk Of the county or CITY
in which the land lies. Thus, there Is an
additional safeguard afforded by the Tor
rens system against fraud or forgery in
the transfer of titles.
Mr.. Cardwell further says:
''The bill MS originally drawn provided
that every man who owned real estate
should have his titles established ana
registered under the new system, whether
he wished 1t or not; but this was changed,
and the advocates Of the system claim
that it was made voluntary.
Mr.. Cardwcll Is entirely mistaken IN
this statement about the original pill. IL
never suggested compulsion. and conse-
nucntlv was never changed In that re-
gard 1t has always been proposed to let
