19. A bill of sale to which this Ordinance applies shall be no protection in respect of personal chattels included in such bill of sale which, but for such bill of sale, would have been liable to distress under a warrant or order for the recovery of rates and taxes.
20.—(1.) The Registrar shall keep a book (in this Ordinance called "the register") for the purposes of this Ordinance, and shall, on the filing of any bill of sale or copy under this Ordinance, enter therein, in the Form No. 3 in the First Schedule to this Ordinance or in any other prescribed form, the name, residence, and occupation of the person by whom the bill was made or given, or, in case the same was made or given by any person under or in the execution of process, then the name, residence, and occupation of the person against whom such process was issued, and also the name of the person or persons to whom or in whose favour the bill was given, and the other particulars shown in the said form or to be prescribed under this Ordinance, and shall number all such bills registered in each year consecutively, according to the respective dates of their registration.
(2.) On the registration of any affidavit of renewal, the like entry shall be made, with the addition of the date and number of the last previous entry relating to the same bill, and the bill of sale or copy originally filed shall be thereupon marked with the number affixed to such affidavit of renewal.
(3.) The Registrar shall also keep an index of the names of the grantors of registered bills of sale with reference to entries in the register of the bills of sale given by each such grantor.
(4.) Such index shall be arranged in divisions corresponding with the letters of the alphabet, so that all grantors whose surnames begin with the same letter (and no others) shall be comprised in one division, but the arrangement within each such division need not be strictly alphabetical.
21. Any Judge of the Supreme Court, on being satisfied that the omission to register a bill of sale or an affidavit of renewal thereof within the time prescribed by this Ordinance, or the omission or misstatement of the name, residence, or occupation of any person, was accidental or due to inadvertence, may, in his discretion, order such omission or misstatement to be rectified by the insertion in the register of the true name, residence, or occupation, or by extending the time for such registration, on such terms and conditions, if any, as to security, notice by advertisement or otherwise, or as to any other matter, as he thinks fit to direct.
