The Memory of Raffles. Ipob, December 11-At the prize-giving of the Anglo-Chi- nsse School, to-day, the Rev. Mr. Horley suggested a Straits Un iversity on the same linee as that at Hongkong. He said it would be a fitting memorial to Sir Stam- 'fard Raffles, as the centerary of the founding of Singapore wan not far off.

Registration of Deeds.

A bill is to be introduced into theSingapore Legislative Council on the subject of the registration of deeds. The objects and rea sons atate: This bill consolidates ten ordinances, and at the same time amende a few of the pro-] visjons of these ordinances. The chief, amendment provides that instruments shall be provisionally registered and that the conditions precedent to complete and per- manent registration must be per- formed within six months. If the registration is not completed within six months, ie, if the provisions of clause 15 are not complied with in that period of time, the provisional registration is null and void. On the other hand, if the registration is com- pleted within six months the date of provisional registration is deemed to be the date of regia- tration. Under the existing law it is optional for the Governor-in- Council to provide by rules for provisional registration. Under this bill, provisional registration is provided for and must precede permanent registration. Provi. Bional registration operates in favour of the person desiring to register an instrament. This consolidation has been suggested and approved by the Statuta Low Commissioners.
