TITLE TO REAL ESTATE.
Mr. Walker's bill [H. R. 317--see page 170 of these Reports] prescribing the duties of Clerks of Circuit Courts and County Recorders in certain cases, prescribing for their compensation, etc., was read the third time.
Mr. BUSKIRK said this bill provides where there has been a change in title by proceedings in Court, the clerk shall make a record of those proceedings and transcribe the record certified to by the Recorder, and it shall have the same force as other records of title.
The bill failed to pass--yeas 49; nays 33--for the want of a constitutional majority.
