The committee were of opinion that this is very unsatis factory as in the absence of transcripts the public must have access to the original memorials which is undesirable for several reasons. The question of delay in transacting business in the Registry of Deeds was also raised. The Council decided on the committee's report that the Minister for Justice should be asked to receive a deputation. Land Registry. A COMMITTEE reported that following the abandon ment by the Registry of the practice of showing the areas on Land Registry maps the Land Commis sion have instituted the practice of requiring a soli citor to lodge certified copy of the Folio to show the area with an application for sub-division.
