LANDS ALIENATED or contracted to be alienated from the Crown iv fee, prior co the coming into operation of "The Land Transfer Act, 1870," may be brought under the provisions of the Act by application from the persons entitled thereto. All Lands alienated from the Crown after the coming into operation of " The Land Transfer Act, 1870," are suoject to, aud must be dealt with in manner prescribed by the Act. Tho following are examples of the fees , payable for bringing laud under the provi- | sions of the Land Transfer Act:- ■ 1. When the Title consists of a Grant, dated on or subsequent to the 28th December, 1841, none of the land ncluded in which £ s. d. Where the Certificate of Title is directed to issue in the name of the Applicant: Value of land, £100 ... 01_ 2 Where the Certificate of Title is directed to issue in the name of the Purchaser: Value of land £100 ... 1 11 2 These charges are increased by 4s 2d (Assurance Fund) for every additional £100 in value. 2. When the applicant is the original grantee, and the land has been dealt with ; or where the applicant is not the original grantee— £ s. d. Where the value of the land is £100 2 14 2 Where the value of the land is £200 3 3 4 Where the value of the land is £300 ... 3 12 6 Where the value of the land is £400 4 18 Where the value of the land is above £400 the fees increase at the rate of 4s 2d (Assurance Fund; for every additional £100 in value. These charges also represent the cost of conveying land, inasmuch as applicants to bring land under the Act can direct the Certificates of Title to issue in the names of any other persons. « Credit for fees is given when desired.by the applicant, in all cases where the proprietor applies to have the land registered under the Act in his own name, and the fees may remain unpaid until the land is dealt with. Any person, therefore, who wishes to bring his land under the provisions of the Act, in order lhat whenever he deals with it he may be in a position to avail himself of the facilities afforded by having a registered title, can do so without auy present cost, by allowing the fees to remain unpaid until such dealing takes place. He will then be in a position to mortgage, transfer, lease, or otherwise deal with bis land at a moment's notice. Any title, however long and complex, may be investigated at a cost to the applicant of only ss, for if the title is rejected, .all fees are returned, with the exception of that amount. CERTIFICATES OF TITLE ARE ABSOLUTELY INDEFEASIBLE. Under the old system of conveyancing, if a single deed is lost, the title is in many cases rendered absolutely defective, and therefore unmarketable, while in others it can only be rectified at great cost. Persons who bring their land under the Act, surrender all their deeds, and receive in exchange a certificate of title, a duplicate of which is retained in the office. If the certificate in the possession of the registered pro-, prietor is at any time lost, or destroyed by fire, &c, a new certificate s supplied by the Registrar at a small cost. AT.T, TITLES ARE GUARANTEED BY THE GOVERNMENT. On all Conveyances by Deed under the old system, the cost of Registration in the Deeds Registry, over and above the Solicitor's charge, is never less than 15s, frequently very much more; while land which has been brought under the provisions of the Land Transfer Act can be transferred at a total coat of lis where a whole section is conveyed; and where only part is conveyed (and therefore a Fresh Certificate of Tide necessitated), of 31s, which is the highest sum allowed by the Act, no matter what the value or area of the land. Under the Regulations in force on and after the Ist January, 1872, the charge for Certificates of Title issued upon Memoranda of Transfer is reduced to 10s in all cases where the value of tbe land is under 610,
