Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Commission for the Purpose of Examining the Torrens Land Transfer Act of Australia: To the Senate and Assembly of the Thirty-First Session of the Legislature of the State of California To the Senate and Assembly of the Thirty-first Session of the Legislature of the State of California: The Commission appointed by the Governor in accordance with the provisions of an Act of the thirtieth session of the Legislature (Laws of 1893, page 121) to report to the thirty-first session of the Legislature on the Torrens Land Transfer Act of Australia has completed its work, and reports as follows: Under the terms of the Act creating the Commission, the purposes of the same were stated to be that "of examining the methods of land transfer and registration as existing under the Torrens Land Transfer Act of Australia, and of preparing a system for the State of California in accordance with said Act, and of reporting the same with an opinion thereon." This system of land transfer was proposed by Sir Robert Torrens, Bart., and came into operation in South Australia in 1856. The chief benefit of the system is the indefeasible nature of the title obtained, together with the speed, certainty, and low cost of transfer; and modifications of the original Act have been in operation since 1861 in Queensland, since 1862 in Victoria and also in New South Wales, since 1863 in Tasmania, since 1870 in New Zealand and British Columbia, since 1874 in Western Australia, and since 1885 in Ontario and Manitoba. The Torrens Land Transfer system has been thoroughly and successfully tried, and the laws creating the same have never been repealed in the countries where it has been adopted. Commissions similar to the present one have been appointed in the States of Massachusetts, Ohio, Iowa, and Illinois; and have recommended to the Legislatures of their respective States the passage of Acts similar to the one herewith presented. One of the essential features of all these Acts is the creation of an officer termed a Registrar of Titles, with judicial power to pass finally and conclusively upon the title to land, not only upon the original application for bringing it within the provisions of the Act, but also upon subsequent transfer or transmission of said property.
