dc.description.abstract | The subject which I wish to bring under the notice of the Society
this evening is, the expediency of establishing a cheap Land Tribunal.
In my opinion such a tribunal is very much required, and I do not
limit this observation to Ireland; I think the very same necessity
exists in England and Scotland. By a Land Tribunal, I mean a tribunal
having the power to decide upon the ownership of land,
authoritatively, conclusively, and finally, unless appealed from ; and,
as incident to this jurisdiction, having power to determine all questions
relating to the charges affecting it, and the mode in which its
proceeds, when sold, are distributable: I think the public should be
entitled to have the aid of this tribunal whenever a sale of land is
desired. When I speak of a cheap tribunal, I mean a tribunal having
its judges and officers paid by the state, and consequently exacting
no fees from those who resort to it, and requiring from the suitor no
payment except that which he must make to his own professional advisers?
just as the transfer of government stock at present costs the
seller and buyer nothing except brokerage.
I shall first state my reasons for thinking that such a tribunal
ought to exist. I shall, secondly, endeavour to answer some
objections which have been urged against it; and thirdly, I shall
make some suggestions as to the mode in which such a jurisdiction
ought to be called into operation. | en |
