LANDS ALIENATED or contracted to be alienated from the Crown in fee, prior } to the coming into operation of " The Land Transfer Act, 1870," may be brought under 1 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 subject te, and must 1 be dealt' with in manner prescribed by the . Act. Tho following are examples of the fees payable for bringing land under the provi--5 siphs 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 * u__ been do_it with— ' £ o. d. Where the Certificate of Title > is directed to issue in the name of the Applicant: Value of land, £100 ... 011 2 Where the Certificate of Title 1 is directed to issue in the name of the Purchaser: Value of land £100 ... 1112 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 ; 1 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 i 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 nnder 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 nnder the provisions of the Act, iv order that 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 any 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 his land at a moment's notice. Any title, however long and complex, may be investigated at a cost to the applicant of only 6s, for if the title is rejecteu, all fees are returned, with the exception ot 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 cas3S 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 tbe office. If the certificate in the possession of the registered proprietor is at anytime lost, or destroyed by fire, kc, a new certificate 3 supplied by the Registrar at a small cost. ALL 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 nnder the piovisions of the Land Transfer Act can be transferred at a total cost of lis -where a w&ole section is coßvejedj and
