Of Select Com. on Pub. Rec., App. p. 161). The Pipe-office was abolished by 3 & 4 Wm. 4, c. 99. Consult Hubback on Succession, p. 624....

Re-entry
Re-entry, the resuming or retaking that possession which one has lately foregone. A clause of this nature, called a 'proviso for re-entry,' is inserted in every properly drawn lease, empowering the lessor to re-enter upon the demised premises if the rent is in arrear for a certain period, e.g., twenty-one days, or if there shall be any breach of the lessee's covenants. A proviso for re-entry, strictly speaking, is only applicable to corporeal hereditaments; see Sitwell v. Londesborough (Earl of), (1905) 1 Ch 465. A proviso for re-entry for breach of covenant has been denounced by a judge of the greatest eminence as 'a most odious stipulation', Hodgkinson v. Crowe, (1875) LR 10 Ch 626, per Sir Wm. James, L.J., but in practice is certainly common enough. A proviso confined to the case of non-payment of rent is a 'usual' stipulation: see Re Anderton, (1890) 45 Ch D 476. A lease under the Settled Land Act, 1882, must contain a condition of re-entry on the rent not being paid within a speci...

Registration of title of land
Registration of title of land. The (English) Land Registration Act, 1925 (15 Geo. 5, c. 21), repeals and re-enacts the (English) Land Transfer Acts, 1875 (38 & 39 Vict. c. 87) and 1897 (60 & 61 Vict. c. 65), with amendments in keeping with innovations which were introduced by the property laws of 1925. Its object is to simplify the indicia of land ownership and transfer by mere inscription and transcription in a register. The advantages which are claimed for the system are (a) purchasers for value of an absolute or good leasehold title are absolved from any inquiry into the title other than it is shown to be on the register; (b) certain equitable claims which would be binding on the land under the general law and cannot be removed or over-reached without onerous formalities do not affect such purchasers; (c) the method of conveyance or charge is simple; (d) subject to the statutory provisions, registration guarantees the title to purchasers for value and mortgagees. It should be observ...

'Solicitor of the Supreme Court' was the title given by the (English) Judicature Act, 1843, s. 87, to all attorneys, solicitors, and proctors, and continued by (English) Solicitors Act 1932, s. 81. Prior to that Act, 'attorneys' conducted business in the Common Law Courts, 'solicitors' business in the Court of Chancery and 'proctors' ecclesiastical and Admiralty business; but it was the general practice, although any person might be admitted to practise as an attorney or solicitor only, to be admitted to practise as an attorney and solicitor also.Solicitors practise as advocates before magistrates at petty sessions and quarter sessions where there is no bar, in County Courts, at Arbitrations, at Judges' Chambers, Coroners...

Tenants' Compensation Act, 1890
Tenants' Compensation Act, 1890 (English) (53 & 54 Vict. c. 57), repealed by and see now the Allotments Act, 1922 (12 & 13 Geo. 5, c. 57), ss. 1 and 4 (2). At Common Law a mortgagor, and therefore any tenant of his becoming such after mortgage with-out concurrence of the mortgagee, is a mere tres-passer, liable to ejectment without notice, and so liable to lose all his growing crops, etc., without compensation from the mortgagee. The Tenants' Compensation Act, to remedy this hardship, provided that where a person occupies land under a contract of tenancy (whenever made) with the mortgagor, which is not binding on the mortgagee, the occupier shall, as against the mortgagee who takes possession, be entitled to such compensation for crops, improvements, or other matters whatever, under the custom of the country, or the Agricultural Holdings Act, as would be due to him but for the mortgagee taking possession; and further gives such occupier a right to six months' notice, before being depri...
