The matter of frauds upon the records of real estate was brought into puLlic notice some time ago tlirougli tbe medium of our columns, and, although it was made the subject of special and excited comment by some of the daily papers, nothing was suggested to prevent the possibility of the evU. The truth is, that no¬ thing better than the careful publication made in this paper can be suggested, except additional security in the acknowledgment of all papers for record, and an official publication of the facts most important in disclosing the matters of record. There are frauds of various kinds which are con¬ stantly peipetrated, and for v?hich there is no legal remedy. Chief of this is the practice of inserting a fictitious valuation in deeds, or an unknown and untrue consideration in any in¬ strument for record. The greatest detriment, iu SQch cases, is done to real estate and the taxable interests of the city. The inequality of assess¬ ment, whereby the metropolitan district of the State is called upon to bear an undue share of the general taxation, is directly attributable to this system of forced and extravagant valuation, which, as a matter of record, is pointed to as authentic, and is claimed to constitute a fair basis for assessment. - We might mention other frauds boldly com¬ mitted or begotten of errors, the details of which the limits of this article do not permit. There are enough of them, however, to require a complete and official publication of aU matters of record, with such explanatory notes or memo¬ randa as will disclose errors and compel their remedy. By this means the safety of the rec¬ ords would become more assured, and the public and individuals would be better assured against imposition and loss. CONVEYANCES. NEW YORK.
