Office of Registrar-General of Land, ~ ti. «._'**_ -• - „. ■ . Wellington, 12th April, 1872. 1 observe that the practice of your office is in some respects incorrect, and have the honor to request that you wiJl m future strictly adhere to tho following rules, as it is important that the practice of all the Deeds Offices should bo both correct and uniform: 1. Eees for inspection to be charged as follows: — For inspection of indices as to one section, one fee ; For inspection of all deeds recorded as to one section, one fee ; For inspection of all deposited documents, one fee; So that 3s. will cover all as to one section. 2. Where one deed indorsed upon another deed is tendered for deposit, only one fee may be charged; the depositor should however, m such cases, be informed that he will be deprived of the advantages conferred by sections 61 and 62 of the Deeds Registration Act, with respect to the deed not technically " deposited." 1 I have, &c, rri, T> • i eT.
