Once secured, however, the title bearing the seal of the State can not be questioned, or if questioned, no additional expense is incurred by the holder who is protected under an assurance fund. To register a title under this Torrecs system a holder of land must petition the county court of common pleas, which is given competent jurisdic ion in the matter. The petition must be accompanied by a list of all persons interested in the land for which a title is desired, including the names of the adjoining own ers. This petition is then referred to three or more licensed attorneys, who have been appointed by the clerk of court as examiners of titles. If the title appears to be good, summons are issued through the sheriff on all parlies named in the petition, thereby making them defendants " ? ? ?u>wi i VU T VI 1IJL111V/1JI 111 <1 1ICW5' paper is also required.
