 Court should entertain the present application. He then continued to argue, }{\i\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4523624\charrsid9391392 inter alia}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4523624\charrsid9708279 
, that the Certificate of Title was conclusive evidence of title (section 14 of the Real Property Ordinance 1876) and that under section 39 of the Ordinance, unregistered
 instruments were invalid. This proposition would no doubt be correctly put, provided that there had been no registration in the register of any charge or encumbrance binding and affecting the land. In the present case has there been any such registration

The rules, however, do not prescribe any procedure for giving effect to the provisions of Rule 286, and on examination of the Register of Titles to land kept in accordance with the provisions of the Real Property Ordinance 1876, 
I find that as far back as 1881 it was the practice to lodge a caveat founded on a judgment, and that it was not until 1897 the first departure from this practice seems to have taken place, when a judgment creditor filed a notice of his judgment. He had, 
however, previously served the Registrar with a copy of a writ of Seizure and Sale directed to the Sheriff to levy against the "goods and chattels" of the judgment debtor, a practice adopted at that date and previously; no doubt in}{

 could affect a judgment debtor's lands. In 1910 I find the first introduction of the practice adopted in the present case where the judgment purported to be served purs
uant to the provisions of section 91 of the Real Property Ordinance 1876. I must express my doubt whether such a judgment is a "Decree}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9391392  }{

The Order of the 3rd November, 1922, in effect treats the judgment creditor's registered charge on the land on the same footing as a "judgment mortgage" taking priority of other charges or mortgages of subsequent registration; an order no doubt based on
 the provisions of Rule 286 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, and following the interpretation which, apparently, has always been placed upon that rule and one with which I see no reason to disagree. Subsequent to the entry of the judgment debt Annie Gaspa
