Article 1.
All deeds of purchase and sale, bonds, etc., shall henceforth be registered in the
respectable (Dewan Khaneh) Courts of Equity in the special dufturs (records),
which are returned by the Governor of each province, sealed with the Government
Seal; in the said dufturs all claims should, according to their respective dates and
numbers, be entered. The dates and numbers of the dufturs (entries) should also
be inscribed on the face of the agreement. The pages of the dufturs should be
numbered and should contain no emendations or erasures.
Article 2.
Agreements which have been rendered valid by registry in the large dufturs
should be again separately written in the Dewan Khaneh in alphabetical order,
together with the names of the contracting parties, and a numerical list of the
large dufturs be framed.
Article 3.
Should there exist in one spot two bonds in the shape of claims for money,
which have been duly registered in the Dewan Khaneh, that whose entry in the
Dewan Khaneh shall bear the older date shall be first executed. This condition
not to supersede those regulations relative to the proportional division of property
which are to have effect at the period of bankruptcy.
Article 4.
The registry of agreements is not essential, but bonds which, according to reg
ulation, have been rendered valid by registry in the Dewan Khaneh, shall especially
be held of greater validity over external bonds (contracted independently), which
shall not be executed until the execution of those bonds which have been duly
registered in the Dewan Khaneh shall have taken place ; such independently con
tracted bonds may be brought to and registered in the Dewan Khaneh during the
space of one year.
Article 5.
W hoever shall (desire to) sell or place in pledge his immoveable property
shall give into the hands of the purchaser a deed of sale or jfikb transfer ; should
he not pay the money at the time agreed upon, he shall cause it to be put up to
sale, and the Dewan Khaneh, previous to registering and rendering valid such
agreement of purchase or sale, shall ascertain that its deed of sale or transfer has
been delivered into the hands of the purchaser, and that the said real estate has
not been sold nor given in pledge or security to some other person.
Article 6.
The payment of the money of a bond shall not be (considered) proved until
both creditor and debtor shall have attached their seals and signatures to the
bend that the whole of the money has been received ; otherwise, at the time of
emergency, it will be necessary to establish the settlement of the debt by producing
evidence and making affidavit.
