2. I think with these gentlemen that it would scarcely be
desirable at the present time to reopen the discussion upon the
question of Registration.

As the Govr thinks it would be undesirable at the present time to re-open any question upon the Land Registry Bill I should be disposed on this ground not to press the amendment observing, however, that Ld K sees no reason to doubt that compensation clauses should be introduced in a measure of this kind.
