16 Effect of charge upon land

Whenever by this Act any sum is expressed to be charged upon any land, any person thereafter becoming the owner of such land shall be deemed to have notice of such charge, and shall be liable to pay the sum so charged, or so much thereof as may for the time being be unpaid, as if he or she were the person originally liable; but nothing in this section shall operate to discharge the liability of any person previously liable therefor: Provided always that such charge shall be entered in the register kept under section 13 as against such land at the date of transfer, and it shall be the duty of the board when and so often as any land becomes chargeable with any sum under this Act, to have an entry of the same made as aforesaid.
