11. If in making up or continuing such record of title as aforesaid any question shall arise as to the true construction or legal validity or effect of any deed, will, or instrument, or as to the persons entitled, or the extent or nature of the estate, right, or interest, power, or authority, of any person or class of persons, or the priority of any charge or incumbrance, claim or interest, or as to the mode in which any entry ought to be made in the record of title, such questions shall be disposed of by the judge, who may either decide the same, or direct any proceeding at law or in equity for that purpose, or, at his discretion, and without deciding such question, may direct such entry to be made on the record as shall appear to be right; and the judge may direct the estate or interest of any person to be recorded by reference to the deed, will, or instrument creating the same, or copy thereof made and retained in Court, as herein-after directed.
