Summary

Sir Robert Richard Torrens was born in Ireland and arrived in South Australia in 1840. In 1857 he championed the Real Property Act of 1858 which dealt with the transfer of real property. The system became known as the Torrens Title and it transferred property by registration of title and not by deeds. This system is now used world-wide. He left Australia in 1863 and settled in England.
