It is clear upon the terms of Ext. 67 that it cannot be regarded in law as a composition deed. All that appears from its recitals and terms is that the owner of the property transferred it to the trustees for the purpose of enabling those trustees to pay off his creditors. There is nothing whatever in the language of the deed to show that there was any composition, any settlement with the creditors that the debtor should pay less than he owed to them and that they agreed to accept that composition. The essential test of a composition deed is that there ought to be a compounding of debts due. Of that there is no trace whatever so far as the language of this document is concerned. It might be regarded as a conveyance or as a trust deed, 1. e., a trust made by the debtor for the purpose of enabling the trustee to pay off his creditors. From either point of view it was compulsorily registrable, and hot having been registered, it could not be admitted in evidence.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.
