The Short Title of this Act is “The Deeds and Instruments Registration Act, 1886.”

In this Act—
“Instrument” has the same meaning as is given to the said term in “The Deeds Registration Act, 1868,”
and “The Land Transfer Act, 1885,”
respectively, and includes all documents included in the aforesaid definitions respectively:
“Registrar” means the Registrar of Deeds or District Land Registrar for the Land or Deeds Registration District within which any instrument is required to be registered.
3 District Agents may be appointed for transmitting instruments for registration.
The Governor may from time to time appoint in and for each such registration district fit and proper persons to act as District Agents, to receive and transmit to the Registrar, for registration any instruments which such Registrar is required or empowered to register; also, on registration of any instrument, to receive the same from the Registrar on behalf of the persons entitled.
4 Priority of instruments so registered.
Instruments forwarded for registration through a District Agent shall, as between themselves, be entitled to registration in the order in which they are lodged with such Agent; but, as against all other instruments, shall be entitled to priority according to the time of actual reception by the Registrar.
5 Receipts for instruments after registration.
On return of any instrument by the Registrar through a District Agent the signature or attestation of correctness required by section forty-seven of “The Deeds Registration Act, 1868,”
shall not be necessary; but in lieu thereof the Registrar or Deputy-Registrar of Deeds shall sign and attest the recorded copy of such instrument.
