Registered

Entered or recorded in seme officlal register or record or list.

— Registered bond. The bonds of the United States government (and of many municipal and private corporations) are either registered or "coupon bonds." In the case of a registered bond, the name of the owner or lawful holder is entered in a register or record, and it is not negotiable or transferable except by an entry on the register, and checks or warrants are sent to the registered holder for the successive installments of interest as they fall due. A bond with interest coupons attached is transferable by mere delivery, and the coupons are payable, as due, to the person who shall present them for payment. But the band issues of many private corporations now provide that the individual bonds "may be registered as to principal," leaving the interest coupons payable to bearer, or that they may be registered as to both principal and interest, at the option of the holder. See Benweil v. New York, 55 N. J. Eq. 26O, 36 Atl. 668.

The registered tonnage of a vessel is the capacity or cubical contents of the ship, or the amount of weight which she wlll carry, as ascertained in some proper manner and entered on an official register or record.
