The Court allowed the Registrar's appeal because the letters submitted did not constitute sufficient instruments nor did they supply the prescribed particulars within the statutory period; the applicant bears the burden of delivering clear particulars and the Registrar is not required to infer or search ambiguous materials to identify the charge, so the mandamus ordering registration was set aside.
