SEVERAL
ASSERTIONS
PROVED,
In Order to Introduce a BILL,
FOR
Establishing a REGISTRY
FOR
Titles of Lands.
- First Assertion. That as the Law now stands, the Free-hold Lands in England may be in∣cumbered in diverse Manners, and at diverse Places.
- Second Assertion. That the Advantage taken (by the Con∣veyancers in the Law) of the Statute of Ues, 27 H. 8. in making Clandestine Conveyances, contrary to the true intent and meaning of that Parliament, and all the avowed Laws and Customs of England, doth oc∣casion a Necessity of a Registry to prevent them.
- Third Assertion. That all Objections made against a Re∣gistry, upon account of Mischiefs which may arise by Discovery of Titles, are not only contrary to all the avowed Laws and Customs of England, but to the very Essence of Title, and the History of Conveyances.
- Fourth Assertion. That all Objections made against this Registry, upon Account of Reducing the Practice of the Law, are one good Reason for it.
- Fifth Assertion. That the Assurance of the Title, and Dispatch of Business by this Regi∣stry, will be more than equivalent to all the Charge in Registring the In∣cumbrances.
- Sixth Assertion. That in case this Registry be admitted, it seems more practicable, and less troublesome, to settle it in the Metro∣polis, than to dispose it into the seve∣ral Counties.
- A BILL FOR Establishing a REGISTRY FOR Titles of Lands.
