with the land in any manner, the power shall be stated in the certificate of
title by the words "with power to sell" or "with power to
mortgage", and by apt words of description in case of other powers.

judgment may be filed or recorded with the assistant registrar who shall make
registration in accordance therewith. [L 1903, c 56, ยง66; RL 1925, ยง3255; RL
