(Compritity a Sktteh of Ou Butory of tht Btgiitry Laum of Upptr Canada— end Remarla ttptm the operation of On mm AeL) The introduction of a Dew Act of Parliament relating to tbe Registntioo of deeds, proriding as it does for important dunges in that branch of the latr of rval property, seems to invite an attempt to elucidate by reference to decided cases the provisions of a statute which will materially affect the property and rights of a large and continually increasing body in the community, and tbe opcrntioD of which will of course be a matter of interest and importance to the legal profeanon. In view of the Act coming into operation, the Editor had been for some few weeks engaged in collecting for his own use memoranda of all the dedsions of the courts of Upper Canada on the law of registration ; and having incdentally learned that the publishers were about to issue from their press an edition of the text of the statute, it occurrsd to him that a few notes gathered from or referring to thcie authorities might prove an adjunct to the work of some use to the legal profet* sion and the county registrars of Upper Canada, and perhaps not entirdy unacceptable to other classes in the community whose intd-ests or oocopations are in one way or other affected by the new Enactment The suggestion to whidi tills idea led having been favourably recdved, the compilation of this manoal is the result It may not be out of place here to present a brief sketch of the history of the law of registration in Upper Canada. Legishtive provision for the ftgtstration of deeds was made at an early period in this portion of the Province. In view of the lands holden therein under the authority of the Crown being then shortlytobeoonfirmedby grant from his Majesty, .the first Registry Act, 85 George III. chap, v, was JMSsed in Aogost, 1795, within three years aAer tbe Constitutional Act Its provinons seem to have been adopted in great measure from those of the group of English Acts passed In the rrign of Queen Anne, whereby registration was introduced in the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire and in Middlesex. The redUls in two of the English Acts in effect state the reasons which led to these enactments to have been that the lands to be affected were chiefly freehold, and the prindpal portion of the community free* of the jlr period under the ^5, within ladopied ireiSDof |t lUdiogi I in cffact ads to be Inity free- Tl nxtACR. holders, who being engtged in trade, h«d frequent occasion to borrow money upon their estate for the purposes of their trade, but for the want of a register found it diflBcult to giye satisfactory securitj. Similar considerations doubtless suggested the necessity, or at any rate the expediency, of a system of registration in Canada, and led to the adoption of that system under legislatire authority ; but it is noticeable that while the Statutes of Queen Anne, and that of 8 Geoi|;e 11. (relat- ing to Torks. N. R.) remain yet in force, and hare not eren been added to or amended in any important particular, the Statute book of Upper Canada has been prolific in amending, explaining, consolidating and repealing enactments relating to this blanch of Uw. Under the Act of Upper Canada 86 Geo. IIL chap. 6, registration was optional with the parties concerned, and no priority was obtained by the registry of a deed unless one memorial had been preriously recorded, or in other words, unless the title had already become a registered title. The wording of the act was clear as to this, and in the ease of Doe d, Hennetty t. Myert (a) and many subsequent cases Qi) ioTolving the point, the dcdsions of the courts recognized and gave full effect to this prorision. This state of the law was however found to produce hardship and open the door to fraud, and was CTcntually altered by stat 13 1 14 TicL diap. 63, which pro- Tided that after any Patent for land had been issued by the Crown, every conveyance affecting that land, executed after 1st Jan., 1851, should be adljudged fraudulent and void against a subsequent registered purchaser for value, unless such conveyance had been placed on record before that under which the subse- quent purchaser claimed. There can be no doubt that such an amendment was necessary in order tha^the country should enjoy the full benefit of a reg^try act Prior to the introduction of that amendment however, not only had two statutory additions to the original act been passed, («) besides enactments for the relief or benefit of particular persons or localities, {d) but that act had been repealed, and stat 9 Vict chap. 34 — which consolidated the previous enactments, and provided for the registry of judgments— been substituted for it This was followed by the statute of 13 k 14 Vict, which made r^istration after thegranting of the Crown Patent necessary to preserve priority, not only against subsequent registered purchasers but against subsequent registered judgment creditors, saving however the rights of equitable mortgagees as recognised by the Court of Chancery.

U. ume statute abolished tsckiog as between seTcral registered incainbraDoan, and declared that the registry of any deed affecting land should in eqaity oooititaVe notice of such deed to all persons claiming any interest in the Und jabsequcnt to its registry. The statutes 18 Yict chap. IS*" and 16 Tict chap. 1S7 prorided kr additional facilities in regard to the proring of instruments, for the registration of Powers of Attorney and of certificates of Lit Ptnitnt. Chapter eighty-nine of the Consolidated Statutes of Upper Canada comprised • consolidation of the seTeral acts affecting rt^straUon from 9 VicL chap. 84 to 18 Vict chap. 127 indusire, and also certain clauses of 20 Tict ch»ptcn 66 and 67 relating to the registration of decrees for the payment of money and of Judgments. The sweeping enactment of 24 Yict chap. 41 abolished the registration of the last menUoncd instruments, and nearly abolished that of releases of mortgage, • slip which was remedied by a statute of the next session of Parliamont («) Tlie Act oonuined in the following pages repeals the consolidated and ibllowiii| Sututes, and introduces radical changes in the mode and as to the effect of registration, in that it declares that no equitable lien shall be deemed Tilid m against a registered instrument executed by the same party or those daiming under him,— whereas the rights of equitable mortgagees had been expressly saved by preceding acts,— «nd compels the registration of instruments at ftiU length, and their being deposited in the Registry office, making the County Registrar the gencsvl custodian of title deeds. Heretofore, the object and effect of registration has been umply to afford ootioe to intending purchasers and mortgagees of the existence of prior oonTcyanoes and incumbrances, and they were left to obtun further information as bert tfasj might Those who hare been called upon to satisfy cautious or unwilling pur- chasers by the production of title deeds and the exhibition of a marketable tHla^ know the difficulties which, in the majority of cases, have hitherto snnounded soch an undertaking. Under the system which is to prerMl hereafter, rcgistratioB wiD convey not merely notice, but complete knowledge of the condition of • titl% m far at least as it is affected by deaUngs subsequent to the Act ; while the Aet ftr quieting titles provides an easy method of setting at rest any previous difficuhia% and the provision for tiie deposit of all instruments in the Registry will icmov* any objection which might otherwise arise torn the noD>prodnetion of title deeds. These in fact nuy hereafter be multiplied tid i^/Mtmn. That title deeds should be taken out of the owner's keeping and plaeod fai tfa* custody of a public officer, and that the dispositions made in wiDs and settlenenti should be disclosed to the world— for such is the effect of tho new Bodo «f 11 ▼u lO«B,aDd ionititaU •qiMDtto >Tid«dfBr npriMda u 84 to 18 Maud 07 adgmeote. ofthelMt IfbUowiiv I tfTaetor id TiIidM e claimlm czpraily Dts at ftdl M County rordnotioe nnoMUid b«rt tbqr riUiog par- table tak, ndadraeb ntioawffl atit^ w faoAetfir !{: VUl mMfkciL I ttBDOft itto falho mod* «r registntion— are proritioni which on Tarioni grounds will be objectionable in the ercs of man^ persons; and in not a few instances, will no doubt occasion expense and inconTcnience which will appear to work a hardship upon the partioa concerned. This is a case however in which the greatest good of the greatest number nust be taken into account, and when regard is bad to the large number of landholders in Canada in proportion to the general population, to the oom. parative smallness of the properties Leid bj individuals, to the firequent changeg ic the ownership of lands, to the carelessness which prevails as to the preserva- tion of deeds, not to mention the fragility of the material upon which thej are usually prepared, it will probably be considered that 'he changes introduced by this Act will prove, on the whole, advantageous to the community. At the same time, it may not unreasonably be tbMight a matter for regret that some provision has not been made for the guarding of in - 1 -'imeuts relating merely to private or family interests from investigation prompted by mere idle curiosity, or perchance some motive even more unworthy, '^'^lis is r. point wbica peruaps may hcn>aft«r be usefully brought under the coiiaideration of l^c Legislature in order to the provision of a suitable remedy. The Editor < .>s in a note to section 80 alluded to the possibility of declaring trusts by u Bep^iratc unregistered instrumenL This however he here ventures to suggest is a course which might be sometimes desira- ble rather than advisable. Under the Act, as it now st'i^ds, it is probably the intention of the Legislature that nothing shall be kept back from registvy, (/) ud be would therefore recommend that until some judicial decision or statutory enactment is made declaring the contrary, all provisions and trusts intended to take effect as against subsequent purchasers should be set out and registered in folL(^) . • , In the course of the following pages reference in one or two instanoes will be found to matters not strictly pertaining to registration, but yet perhaps lofB- ciently connected therewith to be deemed not entirely out of placa. It is be- lieved that all the cases of our own courts bearing on the law of registration aro referred to in this manual, except perhaps one or two turning upon questions new probably obsolete, {h) Additional references to English and Irish eases might (/)8Mi«wrktorTIadid,C;r^hi WMvHm t. lM«r«rf MaUoMi !• I0Oiratp.46S.

Where, however, re^strations have been improperly entered in books which shonld be delivered under this section, sncn improper entry is no excnse for the non-delivery of the books. (Beff, of London v. Heg. o/IfiddU- •ez, 17 U. C. Q. B.

In the former ease, where certain registry books had been obtaineU from one who had been duly appointed Registrar by a person holding a commis- sion of a later date, the court refused an order to restore posse'sion of the books, although they had been obtained by an abuse of the process of the court.

In regard to the tabject of tUa eectfon, it may not ba !ont of plaea to remark that it woold condace exceedingly to the eonyenienoe of persona examining re^stered titles, if all entries and copies made in resistiy books, and abstracts therefrom, were made in clear and legible hand wilting ; and to the preservation of the records, if the best qnality of ink were oaea These are matters which will properly come nnder the notice of any inspector who may be appointed nnder the aek 28.

The form given in Schedale E. might be adopted with oonTenience in famishing certificates or extracts of title. It seems desirable that a more nniform style of certificate should be nsed by all the County Registrars of Upper Canada than has hitherto preruled. S9. Every Registrar shall also, for each township, city, town, ^^o' and incorporated village, keep an Alphabetical Index of names Mch loeauty. exhibiting in columns the number of each memorial, the names of the different grantors, and the names of the grantees, according to the form of Schedule F of this Aet. teatfoU length and bow.

This section and sec. 85 create a ebmplete change in the mode of registrar tion, in that they compel registration in full, and the deposit of the original instrument in the registry o£ce. In the cases of setuement^s and other tmst deeds, it will often be considered nndesirable that the provisions and trusts should be disclosed to the world by registration of the deed in fuIL It is suggested that tlus difficulty may, perhaps, be obviated by the r«e of two deeds, one of which shall be an aba»> lute conveyance for the purpose of registration, and be expressed to be made upon the trusts declared by the other, which other shall not be put on record. (See The Bank of Toronto t. £eelm, 10 U. C. C. P. 282.) Affirmed oa appeal, (2 Err. ± App. Rep. 68.) It is to be observed, however, that this mode has been held invalid in the ease of bills of sale and assignments of chattels requiring registration in the County Court {Arnold v. liabertton, 8 U. C.

(Cosiy v. JorJoti, 8 Grant 467.) By C. 8. U.

But if the owner of land has given a valuable consideration to his vendor, the fact that such vendor had given no value to the person from whom ha purchased, will not defeat the operation of tiie Registrr Act in favor of tha owner's registered tiUe as against the prior unregistered titie of a previona owner. {Dot d.

It has been held that Tmstees for the benefit of creditors are not pn- chasers for valuable consideration, so as to be prot«;eted againat prior anr*> gistered conveyancea. (Jfeeton v.

The registration of a deed from a person having no titie, or a frandnleat title, wiir not give priority over a deed from a person bavbig a good titlei. (Doe d. Spafordv. Brtakeivridgt etal. 1 U. C.

Although the prior re^stration of a deed without consideration eonfin« no title upon the grantee, as against a bona fd* pnrchaaer for valae, vet, aa the fact of such a deed being upon record will have the effect of eraatug a doad upon the titie, the Court will decree ita removal (J2ow t.

It has been held that if A. grant to B. who does not register, and then to C. who does not register, and Uien C. grants to D. who does regiater, B.'a prior deed, though unregistered, shall prevail against the subsequent grant to D. though registered ; because A. after the grant to B. had nothing left to grant, except by a registered deed executed by himself, and registration of the deed from C. to D. is not rejpstration of the deed from A. to C. (Jack t. Armttrong, 1 Hud. k Brooke, 727 ; Fury t. Bmith, 1 Bud. t Brooke, 735 ; Mdl T. ma, 3 H. L. Cas. 828 ; Warburton t. Loveland, 2 DowL A Clarke, 480). 63. All Wills or the probates thereof registered within the space of twelve months next after the death of the DeTisor, Testator or Testatrix, shall be as valid and efPectoal against sobseqaent par- chasers and mortgagees, as if the same had been recorded immedi. ately after such death ; and in ease the devisee, or person interested in the lands devised in any soch Will, is disabled from recording the same within the said time by reason of the contesting of each Will or by any other inevitable difficalty without his or her wilful neglect or default, then the registration of the same within the space of twelve months next after his or her attunment of such Will or Probate thereof, or the removal of the impediment aforesaid, shall be a sufficient recording within, the meaning of this Act Infancy is not an inevitable difficnlty, so as to preclude the necessity of an infant devisee registering his testator's will within the time prescribed by the statute, in order to avoid a conveyance by the heir-at-law. (MeLeodv.Truax, 6 U C. R. (O.S.) 4fi8.) The fact that the registration of a will can afford no information on its face as to what lands are affected by it, is no objection to a particular lot passing nnder that will {Doe d. Lawry v. Orani, 7 U. C. B. 12B.) In case of a will not containing any specific description of the property devised, it will be a proper precaution on the part of the person registering it to inform the Registrar of the locality and lot or lots in the books relating to which it should be entered. In i?o6*on v. Carpenter, 1 1 Grant 293, Spragge, Y. C, held that the transferee of real estate, transfen«d in general terms, must at his perili register the instrument under which he daima in the city, town, township, or place in which the lands lie (tee page 800). Under the circamstanees mentioned in Pahio y. BoyingUm, 4 U. C. C. P. 128 ; and in Rod v. WhUehead, 2 Error t Appeal Rep. 580, (per Hagarty, J.) it was eonsiderad that it was competent to set oat in a memorial a inore defi> nite description of the property and the loau m qw> than that eontuned in the original iDStrooMnt. In the case of Lyntk t. WiUom, 22 IT. C. Q. B.'228, the question of the liabi- lity of attorneys for negligence in not registering a mortgage was discussed, bnt the coort being equally divided in opinion, judgment on that point was not given. In Rou y. Sirmtkff, 1ft U.C.Q.B. 480, it was held that an attorney employed to inveaUgate t))e title to land is not bonnd to enquire as to arrears of taxes.

RepstratioD is not notiea under the Rcgiatrj Acta of Eneland and Ireland, nor was it in Upper Canada prior to Statute 18 A 14 Vic. cap. 68, aee. 8. (Sec Street y. Commercial Bank, 1 Grant. 169.)

Boucher T. Smith, 9 Grant 847. While the act declares that registrstion shall be notice, it does notproride that notice of an unregistered conv pone a registered conveyance executed ton& fidt. (JSoden t. Sttphtnt, 1 Grant 846; Ferratt y. McDonald, 5 Grant 810; Hollywood r. ira(«r«, 6 Grant 829; Bieex. O'Connor, 11 Irish Ch. Rep. ftlO; affirmed on appeal, 18 Irish Ol Rep, 424. The List is an interesting and instmctiTe case on aeveral other points, Eu' keehnie t. Jtaektthnit, 7 Grant 28.) The general rule as to actnal notice is, that to constitnte bindini; notice, it must be given by a person interested in the property, and in the course of the treaty for the purchase. See Sugden V. A P., I4th Ed., chap. zziv. 66- No equitable lieo, cliarge or interest affecting land iball be deemed yalid in any Court in tbis ProTiooe after tbia Act eball come into operation, aa against a registered instrument executed by tbc same party, his beirs or assigns, and tacking eball not be allowed in any case to prevail against tbe proviaiona of tbia Act. This section will produce an important change with respect to the rights and privileges of equitable mortgagees, whose rights, as heretofore recog- nized in the Court of Chancery, were specially preserved by the late Act ; under which, in a case where a mortgage had been created by deposit of title deeds, and the borrower had signed a memorandam stating the sum loaned and times for re-payment, and agreeing to execute a writing to enable the lender to transfer or control the mortgages so deposited, it was held that the memorandum did not require registration to secure its priority over a subse- quentlv registered incumbrance. See Harrittn ▼. Armmtr, 11 Grant 803, and £nglish cases there cited. In Neve v. PenniU, 88 L. J. Chy. 19, it wu held that a memorandum not under seal, accompanying a deposit by way of equitable mortgage of deeds, requires registry. The latter clause of this section will not interfere with the doctrine of tacking, in cases where the provisions of this act do not apply. See Mjftnan V. Jioou, 10 Grant 840, and eases there dted. 67- Tbis Act sball not extend to any lease for a term not exceed- ing seven years, wbere tbe actual possession goetb along witb tbe lease ; but it sball extend to every lease for a longer term tbau seveu yean. Under the former Aet, l e ases for a term for less than twenty-one years did not require regi str ation. A covenant for a renewal in a lease creating a term not within the Registry Act, doM not extend the term so as to bring the lease within the act {Doe dtm. Kingtton Building Society v. RaituferA, 10 U. C. Q. B. 286.) The judgment of Bums, J., in this case, contains the following remsrks, which it may be useful to insert here : " It is quite clear that no present term was created by the lease beyond fourteen Tears, and that if a second term of fourteen years was to exist, it must be by a new instrument to be executed between the parties; and if Mason did neglect to pav for the buildings at the expiration of the first term oT fourteen years, tbe lessees could not, after the expiration of the first fourteen years, have held the premises under the existing deed, for the provisions respecting the second term amount only to a covenant, and not to a subsisting lease. {Evani y. ThotHot, Cro. Jac. 172.) Without a new lease for the second term of fourteen Cars, Uie parties claiming tbe estate under the present instrument would ve no lepd title, and without such new lease, the premises would not be •ffeeted inlaw la any wis*." See also CUrke r. Armttrong, 10 Ir. Chy. Rep. tM.

T«M Myaid* '^^' ^^ Registrar shall not be compelled to register any instru- tnHoa'*''*^ ment unless the fees authorized by this Act are first paid thereon. In case of a Registrar refnaing to perform any matter required of him unless unwarranted fees are oaid, the proper conrse is to pay the amonnt demanded nnder protest, and oring an action to recover the excess, and the Registrar and his sureties may be compelled to make good the loss occasioned bj the delay. A mandamus is not the proper remedy. (See In rt Lount, 1 1 U. C. C. P. 97 ; Smith t. Ridout, 6 U. C. Q. B. 61 7.) Where full redress can be obtuned bv an ordinary suit, application for summary remedies will not be eneourageo. (In rt MeLay, 24 U.C. Q.B. C4.)

Jbe unavoidable delay which has taken place in the progress of tUs llannal through the press, affords an opportunity for noticing two or thrM questions which have arisen upon the Act since it came into operation. The foUt«iring suggestions are with great difSdence offered in regard to these points. 1. Do instruments other than wills require more than one witncis foi the purpose of r^stration P The infereiice drawn by some persons from the wording of sees. 89, 46 an.1 66, is that the Act contemplates two witnesses at least ; but a comparison of theso sections with sees. 20-23, sec. 27 and sec. 68 of the late Act, and 25 Vict cap. 21, sec. 2, will probably incline those who consider the question to the opinion that, in the absence of any positive enactment requiring more than one witness, any inference which may be deducible from the new sections is not such a necesi ary inference as can be taken to import an alteration in the law upon this point It is suggested, however, in the note on sec. 39, that as a matter of convenienoe and precaution, it may be well that there should be two witnesses to all instruments. 2.' Is an affidavit of execution necessary on duplicate originals intended to be kept by the parties, as well as on that deposited with the Begistnur ? The form of affidavit prescribed by sec. 89, provides for the witness testiiyii g. to the execution, not only of the original, but of the duplicate, if any there !& This provision would be unnecessary if an affidavit were required on the dnp'i- cate as well as on the original But it is said that the one instrument is not a duplicate of the other, unless it contains every thing which is contained by the other. The reply to tlus argument is that the words "instrument** and **alBdaTit * are dearly distinguished from each other throughout the Act; the tenn "affidavit * is not included in the term " instrument ;** and the provision for a dnpUoate i i always used in reference merely to the instrument, and not to the affidavit Thu conclusion therefore seems to be that there may be a complete duplicate of the instrument, though there should not be a duplicate of the affidavit whidi is endorsed upon it It is further urged by those who insist upon duplicate affidavits, that unless there is an affidavit on each duplicate of the instrument, the Registrar cannot know certainly that one is a duplicate of the other, or identify the one as being the duplicate referred to in the affidavit To this objection the answer is, that a duplicate affidavit will not help him to arrive at this knowledge without conpa^ ing the duplicates with each other ; nor will it remove the necessity of his , ri n\ n n » ! •i r ,r -I v.: M 1- *. »' 'i ii: ft ■ ':■ 70 POSTSCHIFT. comparing them before endorsing the certificate mentioned in sec. 81. Thwe ia no more difficulty now in his identifying one of two paper writings produced to him as being a duplicate of the other, than there formerly was in his identifying the deed produced as being the deed to which the memorial related, and whidi was mentioned in the affidavit of execution. Moreover, the wording of see. 40, (read in connection with sec 89) and also that of sec 68, seem to show that one affidavit only is required, and that a Registrar will not be justified in refiising to endorse a certificate of registration upon the duplicate, merely because a dupliato affidavit is not made upon the duplicate instrument Opinions, however, to the contrary of this have been expressed. Therefore in order to be on safe ground H may be advisable to have an affidavit on both duplicates, and this method will probably be often found convenient in practice. 3. Are Registrars, under subsec. 6 of sec. 68, entitled to charge for the certifi- cate of registration endorsed upon a duplicate to be kept by the party f Seeing that registration is perfect without such duplicate, the duplicate and the certificate thereon cannot be considered necessary within the terms of the Ist subsection. Moreover, under sees. 80 and 81, there may be several duplicate original parts, and it would be hardly fair that Registrars should be compelled to certify all of them without any additional fee. Therefore it would seem that a fee of 25 cents may be properly charged for the certificate endorsed upon each dupli- cate other than that deported with the Registrar. Since the main portion of this volume was put in type, a new number of VoL 24 of the U. C. Q. B. Reports has been issued, which contains two important dedsions upon the law of registration, viz., Rdbton v. Waddell, p. 674 (referred to supra page 62). In this ease it was held that, under 9 Vict ch. 84, sec. 8 (Con. Stats. U. C, ch. 89, sec. 19), a deed registered upon a memorial in which the addition of the witness to the deed was omitted, was void as against a subsequent mortgage. Such a defect as this is for the future remedied by sec 78 of the new Act The other case is lliller v. McOiU, p. 897, in which it was dedded that a voluntary deed void under the 27 Eliz. c 4, is not by priority of registnnon made valid as against a subsequent purchaser for value. It is also an additional authority upon the law relating to the priority gained by a subsequent purchaser for value by means of the registration of his conveyance before that of a pre- viously executed deed. The latest reported case bearing upon the law of registration is Kitchen t. Hurray, 16 U. C. C. P. 69, in which, one of the deeds forming the chain of tiUe to the property in question not having been recorded, the Court held that the titie had not been deduced, and refused to disturb a verdict in favour of the plaintiff in an action for breach by the defendant of an agreement to make a good title to the land. .•nt ^fW^i'-': :.
