1616 LAWS OF MARYLAND [CH. 715

as hereinafter provided, all deeds, mortgages and other
instruments affecting the title to or any interest in land,
required to be recorded, in a well-bound book or books to be
styled "Land Records", and shall record and index in the
general alphabetical index, as hereinafter provided, all bills
of sale, chattel mortgages and other instruments affecting
the title to or any interest in personal property, required to
be recorded, in another well-bound book or books to be
styled "Chattel Records"; any such instrument affecting
the title to or any interest in both land and personal prop-

Chattel Records; any instrument of sale reserving title to

chattel mortgage, or other instrument of writing, unless
the fees for recording the same as regulated by law shall
first be paid by the person offering the same for record.
