_-•; Oil a sale, or abortive sale, of portion only

of registered land the solicitor for. the pur

chaser, or would-be purchaser; :is entitled to

remuneration as provided in the

schedule.of

fees in proceedings before the

Land Judge,

and the scale of fees and costs allowed in

proceedings under the Local Registration of

Title (Ireland) Act, 1891, does not apply at

all, except in so far as it incorporates the

schedule of fees in proceedings before the

Land Judge.

Messrs. Wilson & Simms acted as solicitors

to the Donegal County Council in the matter

of the sale and abortive sale by private

treaty to the council of three small.plots of

land, situated respectively on farms owned

respectively by James Callan, William Long

and Samuel Marshall. No sale was effected

as regards Marshall's land.

In the other two

cases sales were effected. The plots were

purchased by the council, pursuant to their

powers under the Local Government and

Public Health Acts, and were required as

quarries. Each of the two farms, on which

were situated the plots purchased by the

council, had been purchased by the owner

under the Land Purchase Acts, and con

sequently was

subject

to a

terminable

annuity, payable to the Land Commission,

and had been registered under the Local

Registration of Title (Ireland) Act, 1891.

Callan's farm had been registered discharged

from equities, and was not subject to any

burden other than the terminable annuity.

Long's farm had been registered, subject to

equities, and was subject also to a charge

created in favour of one Hastings. The price

paid by the council for the plots purchased

from Callan and Long did not, in either case,

exceed £100. The bill of costs furnished by

Messrs. Wilson & Simms in respect of these

two purchases and of the attempted purchase

amounted to £28 2s. 7d.

It was taxed upon

the requisition of the county council, and

was upon taxation reduced by the sum of

£11 2s. 6d. This reduction was arrived at

by the complete disallowance of all items

relating to

the attempted purchase from

Marshall, and by the application, as regards

the items relating to the purchases from

Callan and Long, of the principle that in each

of those two cases Messrs. Wilson

Simms

were entitled, as for a transfer on a sale of

registered land of a value not exceeding

£100, to the fee of £1 Is. set forth in Part 1.

of the First Schedule to the Rules made

pursuant to the Local Registration of Title
