The Short Title of this Act shall be the “Bills of Sale Registration Amendment Act 1862.”

Instead of a Bill of Sale or copy thereof being filed with the Registrar or Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court for the District Division or Province within which such Bill of Sale shall be made or given as required by the “Bills of Sale Registration Act 1856” such filing shall take place with the Registrar or Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court for the Province within which the personal chattels over which such Bill of Sale shall be made or given shall be situate at the time of making or giving of such Bill of Sale.

If any Bill of Sale shall be made or given in any other place than in the Province within which the personal chattels comprised in such Bill of Sale shall be situate the time within which the same may be filed shall be thirty days for Bills of Sale made or given elsewhere in the Colony of New Zealand and sixty days for Bills of Sale made in any other of the Australasian Colonies.

All Bills of Sale heretofore duly filed with the Registrar or Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court for the Province within which the personal chattels comprised therein were situated at the time of making or giving the same shall be as valid and effectual as if the same had been filed in accordance with the provisions of the said “Bills of Sale Registration Act 1856.”

Clause 6 of the “Bills of Sale Registration Act 1856” is hereby repealed and the following substituted in lieu thereof that is to say Satisfaction may be entered in respect of any filed Bill of Sale by filing with the Registrar or Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court where the Bill of Sale is filed an Affidavit of satisfaction by the person in whose favor the said Bill of Sale was made or given or by his executors administrators or assigns and such Registrar or Deputy Registrar shall thereupon mark upon the back of the filed Bill of sale and in his Register of Bills of Sale the date of filing of such Affidavit of satisfaction and in respect of such filing and marking there shall be paid to such Registrar or Deputy Registrar a fee of five shillings.
