There were two questions-one, whether the letter was a sufficient acknowledgment in point of form, which it is unnecessary to notice further; the other, whether the acknowledgment, if good in form, was not too late. In the Court of Appeal the chief, and in the court below the only, contention appears to have been on the point of form; no notice of the other point is taken in the argument or judgment at the Rolls, or in the judgment in the court above. On the appeal, it was contended for the defendant, that the acknowledgment ought to have been given within twenty years after the mortgagee obtained possession; that no other effect could be given to the pression" in the meantime" in the 28th section of the statute. The Lords Justices expressed no opinion on the point; but as judgment was for the plaintiff, they must have thought "meantime" comprises any interval between the taking possession and the commencement of the suit, if an acknowledgment be given, and the suit commenced within twenty years after such acknowledgment; so that although a mortgagee may be in adverse possession for twenty or thirty years, or upwards, no matter how long, yet, if he acknowledges the mortgagor's title, the latter has a further period of twenty years to make his claim. extinguished, where there is no acknowledgment, if it be not twenty years from the entering into possession? If a mortgagee is in possession twenty years, and during that time makes no acknowledgment, is not the mortgagor's title under this section extinguished the moment the twenty years are completed, and that, too, entirely and for ever? There is no other period to which the extinguishment can be referred. There "meantime" must refer to the twenty years' possession. Then, at the expiration of the twenty years, is there any difference between the case put and one where there is a subsequent acknowledgment? The decision converts "" extinguished" into "dorex-mant:" it treats the right to redeem as being in full vigour just twenty years, and then falling into a dormant state, ready to start into life again for another twenty years whenever its existence is acknowledged. How long that dormant state may continue is left uncertain. Does it depend on the continued ownership of the mortgagee? Is it affected by his dealings with the property? Does it terminate with his life? At the end of the twenty years' possession, is the estate of the mortgagee in equity real or personal? As, according to Stansfeld v. Hobson, the mortgagee may at any time during his life acknowledge with effect his mortgage title, it would seem to follow, that to the time of his death he has nothing more, and that his interest should pass to his personal representative. That, however, it would be difficult to reconcile with well-known rules of equity. If a judgment be entered up against the mortgagee, what lien has the creditor after the twenty years? May it be defeated by the debtors acknowledging the title of the mortgagor? If the mortgagee makes a lease, to what extent will it be valid? And if he sells and conveys as absolute owner, will the acknowledgment of his grantee have the same effect as his own? The principle upon which all the enactments of the statute are grounded is, that an adverse possession for twenty years ought to confer an indefeasible title; and therefore one would have expected to find the Courts astute to construe the act so as to carry out that principle, wherever the language permitted such a construction. Was it prevented here? Certainly not. What is the language of the statute? No suit for redemption is to be broaght" but within twenty years next after the time at which the mortgagee obtained possession, unless in the meantime an acknowledgment of the title of the mortgagor, or of his right of redemption, shall have been given;" and in such case "no such suit shall be brought but within twenty years next after the time at which such acknowledgment, or the last of such acknowledgments, was made;" the obvious meaning of which is, that the suit must be brought within twenty years, reckoning forward from the taking possession where there is no acknowledgment, and from the giving the acknowledgment where there is. If, where there is an acknowledgment, the suit is to be commenced within twenty years from the giving the acknowledgment, pari ratione the Legislature must have intended that the suit should be commenced within twenty years from the time of taking possession where there is no intermediate acknowledgment. It was intended to fix some limit to the time for redeeming; but if "meantime" means twenty years, reckoning from the giving the acknowledgment, without regard to the time of taking possession, the mortgage title will be kept alive for an indefinite time, since it is impossible to predicate when the last acknowledgment may not be given. According to the decision in Stansfeld v. Hobson, the commencement of the suit is the point to reckon from, and we are to reckon backward; and if within twenty years so reckoned we find the entering into possession, or an acknowledgment, then the suit is in time. But this construction of the 28th section is not only unwarranted by its language, and opposed to the spirit of the act, but it ignores and goes far to repeal the 34th section altogether. Although that section plays an important part in the general construction of the act, no reference was made to it; and the omission renders the decision the more unsatisfactory. The 34th section declares, that at the determination of the period limited for bringing any suit, the right and title of the claimant shall be "extinguished." Now, what is the period at the determination of which the right is to be Other cases might be suggested, but the above are sufficient to shew the confusion this decision, if acted on, will create. S. S. W. THE RELIGION OF FOUNDLINGS. THE guardians of the North Dublin Union have been placed in a position of some difficulty by certain opinions delivered by the respective law officers of the Crown, Mr. Attorney-General Brewster and Mr. Solicitor-General Keogh. It would appear that some doubt existed in the minds of the guardians as to the religion of foundlings. The Protestant section held that they should be considered of the religion of the State which was incumbered with their maintenance. The Roman Catholic section disputed this proposition, and referred the matter to the commissioners. The commissioners, therefore, submitted certain queries to the AttorneyGeneral and Solicitor-General. The result is, that Mr. Brewster thinks with the Protestant and Mr. Keogh with the Roman Catholic section of the board. However, the Poor-law Commissioners have adopted the opinion of the senior legal adviser. The following letter from the Poor-law Commissioners explains the case: 66 "Poor-law Commission Office, Dublin, Dec. 23, 1854. Sir,-With reference to the letter addressed to the board of guardians of the North Dublin Union on the 21st August last, on the subject of the religious registry of illegitimate children, I am now directed by the commissioners for administering the laws for the relief of the poor in Ireland to state, that they have received the opinions of the Attorney and Solicitor General on the queries submitted to them on this subject, and I am to inclose copies of the queries and opinions for the information and guidance of the board of guardians. "The cases which are embraced by the first query, and are of most difficulty in practice, are those of foundling children baptised shortly before admission to the workhouse, while in the hands of the police, or of those to whom they have been intrusted for nurture, and in which it is clear that the baptism can afford no indication as to the religious denomination of the parents. "In any such case the Attorney-General's opinion is quite clear, that if the child be so young as to be incapable of forming any opinion, the baptism ought not to influence the registry, and that the child should be registered of the religious denomination of the State. "The opinion of the Solicitor-General, although differing from that of the Attorney-General, as to the effect of a certificate of baptism, unaccompanied by all other information, does not go the length of declaring that where the baptism is known to have taken place very recently before admission to the workhouse, and where, the parents being unknown, it could certainly have no reference to them or to the religious creed, the baptism nevertheless ought to be conclusive on the guardians, and the child, of necessity, registered of the denomination indicated by the religion of the clergyman making the certificate. 66 "In cases of this description, therefore-that is, in cases where it is known the child is very young, was baptised after desertion, and without any reference to or knowledge of the wishes of its parents or their religious denomination-the commissioners recommend the guardians to be governed by the opinion of the Attorney-General, and to register the child as of the religion of the State. "The opinions given by the Attorney-General and Solicitor-General, in answer to the second query, agree; and in all cases where the guardians have satisfactory evidence of the child's instruction in the tenets and practices of any particular creed, they ought to register its religious denomination accordingly. "By order of the commissioners, "W. STANLEY, Secretary. "To the Clerk, North Dublin Union." "Copy of Queries. "First-Does the production of a certificate of baptism, or other evidence that a child has been baptised in a particular religious denomination, render it the duty of the board of guardians to register the child as of that religious denomination, in the absence of any information as to the religious creed of its parents or guardians? "Second-Ought the guardians, on such evidence of previous religious education as that supplied by the fact that the child can go through the form of blessing itself, or can recite certain prayers, to register the child as of the religious denomination in which that form is practised or those prayers are used? "Copy.-Opinion of the Attorney-General. "To first query-I have fully conferred with the Solicitor-General on this case, and we have agreed that each should state his opinion. Mine is, that the mere production of a certificate of baptism does not render it the duty of the board of guardians to register a child, so young as to be incapable of forming any opinion of its own, of the religious denomination of the clergyman who has given the certificate. What effect the production of other evidence may have must depend upon its nature and sufficiency, and no answer generally applicable can be given to that part of the first query. The difficulty will arise, for the most part, if not exclusively, in cases of deserted children of very tender years, the religion of whose parents is unknown; in such cases (according to Mr. Blackburne's opinion of 1842, in which I have already expressed my concurrence) it is the duty of the board of guardians to register and educate the child in the religion of the State. The onus of proving that they ought to register and educate it in any other lies on those who require them to do so. This can only be done by proving that the religion of the child's parent was not only not that of the State, but was that in which they require it to be educated; for the question in effect excludes cases of orphans, whose religion may in certain cases be determined by their guardians or sponsors. This it is which raises the question- To what extent is the certificate of baptism of a deserted child evidence of the religion of its parent?' It appears to me, in the absence of any other proof whatever, (a case, however, in my opinion, not merely hypothetical, but almost impossible), that the certificate is no evidence either way; for it does not appear whether the baptism took place before or after the desertion; it may as well have been before as after; and if so, it is obvious that it can afford no evidence as to the parent's religion. It therefore appears to me, that it is not the mere certificate of baptism, but the time at which it took place, and the circumstance of it, that must be considered, in order to arrive at any reasonable inference as to what the religion of the parent of a deserted child may have been. "Second query-If it can be ascertained that the child has been instructed in the tenets and practices of any particular religious denomination, the guardians ought not to allow its religious opinions or belief to be disturbed-at least, unless its parent actually interfere to direct its religious education. "December, 1854. 66 "A. BREWSTER.” Copy.-Opinion of the Solicitor-General. "I have conferred with the Attorney-General on this case, and regret that he and I do not arrive at the same conclusion on the first query. The question, put in distinct terms, admits that the guardians are altogether without information as to the religious belief of the parents or guardians of a child, save so far as they may be guided by the fact of the baptism of the child as of a particular religious denomination of Christians. In that case (and it is upon it alone I am asked to advise) of consideration the fact of baptism. In the absence I am of opinion that the guardians cannot throw out of all other information, it seems to me to raise a strong tised was of the religious denomination in which he presumption that the person who had the child bapcaused that sacrament to be administered; and I can see no valid reason for assuming that the person so in charge of the child was not its parent; but, on the contrary, the natural inference appears to me to be, that in the same religious denomination to which the parent the child was baptised at the desire of its parent, and belonged. I therefore do consider, in the absence of all other information, the production of a regular certificate of baptism, or other sufficient evidence that a child has been baptised in a particular religious denomination, renders it the duty of the board of guardians to register the child as of that religious denomination in which it has been baptised. "As to the second query, I entertain no doubt that the guardians, on such evidence of previous religious education as that supplied by the fact that the child can go through the form of blessing itself, or can recite certain prayers, ought to register the child as of the religious denomination in which that form is practised or those prayers are used. I am not asked to give any opinion upon the questions submitted some years since to Mr. Blackburne; but I may add, that in arriving at the conclusion I have above expressed, I have been much influenced by the manifest intention of the Legislature, as declared in the Irish Poor Relief Act, to discountenance all interference with the religion of the inmates of workhouses, whether adults, children under the protection of their parents, or orphans.
