5. Lodgment of Legal Documents (a) In the case of Deeds sent for noting clear identification of holdings by reference to Receiv– able Order Number, tenant and townland is very helpful to the Land Commission who also require to be informed as to the devolution of title from the person noted in their records as entitled. The name on the Receivable Order is often merely that of the payer or occupier. (b) In the case of marriage settlements where joint tenancies are set up, the date on which the marriage took place should be stated. (f) Change of ownership in the case of vested holdings or parcels is a matter to be notified to the Land Registry, Chancery St., Dublin. Docu– ments in such cases should not be referred to the Land Commission see also 9. 6. Quit Rents and Church Temporalities (tf) Correspondence relating to Quit Rents and to the Church Temporalities Accounts should be addressed to the Secretary, Irish Land Com– mission, Church Temporalities Branch, 24 Upper Merrion St., Dublin. (b) Every application for a Certificate of the Redemption Value of a perpetuity rent or tithe rent charge should indicate the purpose for which the Certificate is required. (

7. Sales of Holdings and Parcels (tf) In the Purchase Agreement for a parcel of land the purchaser agrees not to " sell, alienate, sub-let, subdivide or part with possession " of the parcel before it has been vested in him. Breach of this condition may result in the purchaser being deprived of the parcel. There is no mention of sale " with the consent of the Land Commission " ; yet in a number of cases parcels have been offered for sale " subject to the consent of the Land Com– mission " though such consent has neither been applied for nor obtained and in many cases the sale is completed before the Land Commission become aware of it. When a Solicitor is instructed to apply for consent to sale he should whenever possible state the name of the proposed purchaser and give the Receivable Order No. and other particulars of any lands held by him. (b) Before completing the sale of a holding the Solicitor should ascertain whether the vendor has ever been allotted a parcel (or has another holding) for consolidation with it and, if he has, should consult the Land Commission. (It is not always realised that when a holding with which a parcel is to be consolidated is sold, even if the parcel is not sold, the allottee is liable to have the parcel taken up from him owing to the breach of the terms of the Agreement which provides for consolidation, or that in such cases the sale may be null and void see Section 23 of the Land Act, 1939, and Section 6 of the Land Bill, 1945.) of Originals (a) The Receivable Order No. should be quoted in all applications and requisitions for copies of purchase agreements, maps and other documents. (b) The purpose for which the copies are required should be fully stated. (
