of the signature of the Registrar and of any Deputy Registrar of Titles or
Assistant Registrar of Titles.

(2) The Registrar shall cause to be kept a seal having inscribed thereon the
words "Office of Titles Victoria"; and all certificates of title instruments
certified copies and other documents purporting to be sealed with such seal
and to be signed or initialled by the Registrar or by a Deputy Registrar or by
an Assistant Registrar shall be admissible as evidence without further proof.

(3) Without affecting the generality of the foregoing if the seal of the
Office of Titles together with the signature or initials of the officer
(whether or not the Registrar or a Deputy Registrar or an Assistant Registrar)
attaching the seal appear on any entry or memorandum entered in the Register

shall be received in all courts as conclusive evidence that the relevant
