LOCAL REGISTRATION OF
TITLE
(IRELAND) ACT, 1891.
Section 52 of this Act provides as follows :
" A right to be registered as the owner of
" any registered land in derogation of the
" title of the registered owner shall not be
" acquired by any mere possession, however
" long, commencing after the first registra-
" tion of the land, but where any person but
" for the provisions of this Act would have
" obtained a title by mere possession to any
" registered land, he may apply to the Court
" in the prescribed manner for an order
" declaring his title to such land, and the
" Court, if satisfied that such title would
" have been acquired but for the provisions
" of this Act, may make an order declaring
" such title, and ordering the register to be .
" rectified in such manner as it thinks just."
The question as to the chargeability to
stamp duty of a Circuit Court Judge's order
[
made under the above-recited Section was
recently before Mr. Justice Wylie on motion,
and he held that the order did not effect a
transfer or vesting of the property named
therein, and the Revenue Commissioners have
acquiesced in this decision, and Revenue
Duty will not in future be payable on such
orders.
