No recognizance, Crown bond, judgment at the suit of the Crown, statute, inquisition, or acceptance of office, registered or re-docketed under the Judgments (Ireland) Act, 1844, or under the Land Transfer (Ireland) Act, 1848, more than four years before the passing of this Act, shall affect lands, tenements, or hereditaments, as to purchasers, mortgagees, or creditors, unless and until a like memorandum or minute as is required for a registry thereof, under the Judgments (Ireland) Act, 1844, be left with the officer appointed under that Act within five years before the execution of the conveyance, settlement, mortgage, lease, or other deed or instrument vesting or transferring the legal or equitable right to the estate or interest in or to any such purchaser or mortgagee for valuable consideration, or as to creditors within five years before the right of such creditor accrued: Provided always, that where twenty years from the date of such bond or recognizance to the Crown has expired, or will expire before the expiration of one year from the passing of this Act, nothing in this enactment contained shall be taken to dispense with the re-docketing under the Land Transfer (Ireland) Act, 1848, of such bond or recognizance to the Crown within such twenty years, or to give any greater validity or effect to such bond or recognizance than the same would have had under the provisions of the Land Transfer (Ireland) Act, 1848, in case this Act had not been passed.
