38 The Cambridge Law Journal [1956]

Lord Jowitt and Lord Morton of Henryton expressed opposite

opinions on the question whether the Crown's right of forfeiture

is defeated, in the case of registered land, by section 23 of the

Land Registration Act, 1925. The negative answer given by the

Court of Appeal therefore still stands, but there is at least some

sign that its foundations may not be secure.

For a fuller discussion the reader may be referred to Mr. A. J.

Bland's instructive article in (1955) 71 L.Q.R. 79.

H. W. R. Wade.
