ENROLLMENT, entry upon a register or record.
Enrollment of Deeds.—In order to prevent the secret transfer of lands which was effected in England by means of a bargain and sale (q.v.), it was provided by 27 Hen. VIII. c. 16, that the deed must be enrolled; but a mode was soon adopted by lease and release of evading that act and attaining the same end. By the fines and recov eries act (3 and 4 Will. IV. c. 74), it is enacted that all transfers of land effected under the provisions of that statute, must be enrolled in the court of chancery within six months after the execution.
Enrollment of Decree in decree in a suit in chancery did not receive full effect until it had been enrolled. And it used to be a practice to enroll a decree, and so prevent any appeal• except to the house of lords. But enrollment after 1876 became useless; and it no longer prevents the usual appeal to the court of appeal in the first instance, and thence to the house of lords. The general rule under the judica
ture acts is that every decree may be appealed from within a year if final; and within 21 days if interlocutory. All appeals are now by way of re-hearing, and no petition case or other formal proceeding than notice of motion is necessary.
