CONVEYANCING.
To the Editor of the (tlobe. SIE, —Having arrived here from the “ Dominion” I was surprised and amused by the observations of one of the New Zealand Judges upon the temerity of any one employing a person not a lawyer to draw a deed of partnership, and I learn that it is illegal here for any person not a lawyer to mate a deed of conveyance of land. In British America there has never been any restriction in the conveying of land, mating agreements, leases, or any such matters, by any person whatsoever, and I never heard of any harm from such liberty. I do not blame the lawyers here for their distort sted solicitude for the public welfare, but I blame the people for being hoodwinked info permitting such a monopoly. For a shilling in British America you can procure in pamphlet form all the forms of convoyanc'ng, agreements, wills, , and with such guides it is not a difficult job to convey a piece of land, especially as a description is always supplied by a surveyor. Also, blank forms can bo obtained at a trifling expense. It seems to me that the contracting parties are the parties to bo satisfied, and that the Government or the public in general having nothing to lo with the matter. A p.oper deed, properly registered, is sufficient. Yours, &c., JEAN CRAPAUD.
