HC Deb 24 January 1878 vol 237 c369
DR. BRADY

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in relation to the revelations of fraud, forgery, conspiracy, and obtaining money by false pretences, which have come to light by the trial and conviction of certain parties at the Central Criminal Court on the 15th instant, If he intends introducing a Bill to establish in this country a system of registration of land and other property similar to the Law or Laws now in force in our colonies?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS,

in reply, said, he had had the advantage of consulting with the Lord Chancellor and the Attorney General on the subject referred to in the hon. Member's Question, and he was able to state that it was not the intention of Her Majesty's Government to introduce a measure relating to it at present.
