   after two o'clock, p.m., on Saturdays, and after three

2. Immediately upon the presentation of any
   instrument for registration the Registrar shall, in
   the presence of the party presenting such instru-
   ment, number the same, and make a note thereon of
   the day and hour of the receipt thereof, and shall
   stamp the same at the end of such note with the
   seal of the Register Office. He shall also forthwith,
   in the same presence, cause an entry thereof to be
   made in a book of "Primary Entry," specifying such
   day and hour of receipt, the number of such
   instrument and nature thereof, the parties thereto
   and land affected thereby, and the name of the party
   presenting the same.

3. The Registrar shall thereupon cause an entry
   of such instrument to be made in the Index Book
   under the proper head or title, specifying the day
   and hour of presentation, the nature of the instru-
   ment, with a reference to the Record Book in which
   a copy thereof shall be made. He shall also cause
   such instrument to be fairly and correctly copied
