Overview

Excerpt from The Law of Real Property: Chiefly in Relation to Conveyance IN this Edition Mr. Challis's text and notes have been reprinted verbatim from the Second Edition. Such additions and comments as the Editor has thought it desirable to make are enclosed in square brackets. Mr. Challis occasionally used square brackets to mark additions or corrections made by him in passages cited from judgments or text-books, but the reader will have no difficulty in distinguishing these from the additions made by the Editor. Following Mr. Challis's example, the Editor has abstained from overloading the book with modern authorities, and has only referred to the Opinions of text-writers or to judicial decisions in cases where questions of principle seemed to be involved. It will be seen that in some instances the Editor has ventured to express dissent from the Views held by Mr. Challis, especially with reference to the true nature of incorporeal hereditaments, easements, New River shares, and titles of honour; with refer ence to the origin of the rule in Whitby v. Mitchell with reference to the point decided in the Squatter's Case (agency Company v. Short) and with reference to the question whether the lands of a corporation revert to the donor on its dissolution - a point not without practical importance, as is shown by the case of Hastings Corporation v. Letton. This decision cannot, as the Editor ventures to think, he supported on the grounds given for it (see p. What rule of law was applicable to the case it is perhaps not easy to say, having regard to the fact that the lease was an onerous one, and that the Crown made no claim to it.
