X ANDS 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 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 to, and must be dealt with in manner prescribed by the Act. The following are examples of the fees payable for bringing land under the provisions 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 included in which has been dealt with—- £ s. d. Where the Certificate of Title is directed to issue in the name of the Applicant Value of land £IOO ... Oil 2 Where the Certificate of Title is directed to issue in the name of the Purchaser: Value of land £IOO ... 11l 2 These charges are increased by 4s 2d (Assurance Fund) for every additional £IOO 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 laud is £IOO 2 14 2 Where the value of the land is £2OO 3 3 4 Where the value of the land is £3OO 3 12 6 Where the value of the land is £4OO 4 1 8 Where the value of the land is above £4OO the fees increase at the rate of 4s 2d (Assurance Fund) for every additional £IOO 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 that whenever he deals with it he may bo in a position to avail himself of the facilities afforded by having a Registered Title, can do so without any present cost, bv allowing the fees to remain unpaid until such" dealing takes place. Ho will then bo 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 bo investigated at a cost to the applicant of only ss, for if the title is rejected, all fees are returned, with. tho 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 eases 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
