Excerpt from The "Land Transfer" Laws of Australasia: Being the Full d104 With Side Notes of the Land Transfer (Torrens) Acts of New South Wales, New Zealand, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria; With a Digest of 221 Supreme Court and Appeal Cases of the Above Six Colonies

Torrens system of Conveyancing in force in the Colonies of Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tas mania, and New Zealand, together with full Inter-colonial sectional references and cross references, the same being indicated by various distinctive letters and figures at the end of all sections where such references are deemed of value.

At the end of this Work will also be found a Digest of 221 Land Transfer Cases decided in the Supreme and Appeal Courts of the above Colonies and having visited Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Hobart for the express purpose of their collection in May, 1887, I have been enabled to make the Digest as complete as possible. I intend half-yearly (or oftener possibly) to publish reports of all future Land Transfer decisions in the six Colonies, and I purpose to bring out the first number at the close of this year, which will contain every available report to December 3lst, 1888. I shall be glad if all interested in the subject matter of the work will put themselves into communication with me, and by giving early notice of cases, enable future reports to be as complete as possible.

Having had for the past twelve months an almost daily acquaintance with the Land Transfer Acts of the various Colonies, I have been impressed with the Similarity and oneness of their main provisions. At this time, when so much is said - SO little done-as to Federation I think that in the Torrens' system, as set out by Statute, something very near to uniformity could be obtained in the wording of the Statute Law prevailing in all the Colonies on this subject.
