2. A certified copy of the Award of the

NOTE. Nos. 2 and 3 need only be lodged
when
the first receipt or
transfer
under any particular scheme, order,
or award
is being submitted
for
registration.
And in cases coming under B. or C. :—
4. Such evidence of title as is there set out.
And in cases where the land was subject to
a Land Purchase annuity :
5. Evidence of the release of the plot
therefrom.
And in the case of registered land, where
there are registered charges thereon, and
the compensation has been paid to the
owner of the land :
6. Consent to such payment by the owners
of all registered charges.
The particular attention of Councils
is
drawn to the circular letter from the Local
Government Board dated 29th June, 1908
(L. 7886.08), on the subject of plots taken
from holdings already vested or about to be
vested in the occupying tenants, a copy of
which has been issued to the Clerk of each
Council.
In
all cases
the solicitor must ascertain, by
search or otherwise, whether
the
lands
acquired are already registered or not, and,
if they are, the Folio number must appear
on the face of the receipt or transfer.
Where possible, the form of receipt in the
Local Government Board Rules, or Form 14
annexed to the Rules under the L. R. Title
(Ir.) Act, 1891, should be adhered to, and
long conveyances avoided.
As all responsibility for the due execution
of receipts, etc., lies on the Council, the
Registering Authorities do not insist on the
verification
of
the
signatures
to
these
documents.
No stamp duty is payable on any receipt,
transfer, or conveyance.
No fees are payable for registration or
searches.
If the Council lodging the documents have
been already registered as owners- of other
lands in the same County, the Land Certi–
ficate held by them should be lodged, in
order that the new plots may be added.
It is the practice to rely on the provisions
of Section 47
(a
and
b)
of the said Act of
1891 as sufficient for the protection of Crown
and quit rents and the other charges therein
specified.
The Land Certificate in relation to the
several plots of land acquired in pursuance
of any Scheme, Order, or Award is, as a rule,
not issued until the registration of all has
been completed, but pending such completion
this document will be transmitted to the
local authority, on application being made
therefor, in case it should be required for
Audit or other purposes, or, in the alterna–
tive, an official notification will be sent to the
local authority when desired of the cases in
which registration has actually been com–
pleted.
