IRISH BANKRUPT AND INSOLVENT ACT 1857 - SECT 269

Where a conveyance of any property of a bankrupt would require to be registered the certificate of the vesting thereof in the assignees shall be registered.

269. Where, according to law, any conveyance or assignment of any real or
personal property of a bankrupt or insolvent would require to be registered,
enrolled, or recorded in any registry office, court, or place in the
United Kingdom, or in any of the dominions of Her Majesty, then and in every
such case a certificate under the seal of the Court, and in such form as
the Court may direct, that the estate and effects of the bankrupt or insolvent
have vested in the assignees, shall be registered in such registry office,
court, or place, and shall have the like effect to all intents and purposes as
the registry, enrolment, or recording of such conveyance or assignment would
have had; but the title of any purchaser of any such property for valuable
consideration, bona fide, without notice of the bankruptcy, or before the
commencement of the imprisonment of such insolvent, who shall have duly
registered, enrolled, or recorded his purchase deed previous to the registry
hereby directed, shall not be invalidated by reason of such appointment of
assignees, or of the vesting of such property in them, unless such certificate
shall be registered as aforesaid within the times following; (that is to say,)
as regards the United Kingdom, within two months of the date of such
appointment, and, as regards all other places, within twelve months from the
date thereof.
