"30. The foregoing extracts give a very clear exposition of the general effect of the system of transfer by registration. It cannot be too emphatically pointed out that it is not the execution of the memorandum of transfer, lease, or mortgage, but its registration in the Lands Titles Office, that operates to shift the title.

Registration takes effect from the time of production of the instrument, not from the time of the actual making of the entry.'
