His Lordship-I suppose that in the Land PHOTO COMPETITION FOR AMATEURS Registration Olles in England the first thing they would do would be to compare the signa taro The whole idea of registration is to pro test itle. Here is a person who professes to be entitled to register the mortgage. He brings the mortgage to register it, and the signature does not correspond with tio signature of the lust owner.

Mr. Sharp-It should not be so, but this case exempliflee what is done.

His Lordship It is like a mortgage being brought in by a man named Smith and the last mentioned owner was Surthe. It would be the duty of the ragistoring offer to call attention In to the fact of the difference in the names. this cass nut duty is the meaning different bat the way of writing the name is different.

Upon the 6th January, he thought that was practically the only date which would concora the inquiry--the property was assigned, parauant to that purchase, to the plaintiff and his four brothers. The assignment was executed at the father's house in Macao in the presence of Mr. R. A. Harding and in the prepones of Mosers Ewens, Harston and Hard- ing's souíor interpretar. This was in due course registered in the Land Offee. Al this was, he thought, common ground.
