    §  417. Judgments, decrees, attachments and other liens to be noted on
  certificate.   No judgment, decree,  attachment,  execution,  mechanic's
  lien,  or  other lien or charge, which may affect or be a lien or charge
  upon real property in this state, shall be or become a lien or charge on
  real property, or any right or interest therein, the title to which  has
  been  registered,  unless a transcript, or certified copy, or other duly
  made or certified document, which is by law proper evidence in  a  court
  of  record,  of  such  judgment, decree, attachment, mechanic's lien, or
  other lien or charge, shall be duly filed  with  the  registrar,  and  a
  proper memorial thereof made by him upon the certificate of title in the
  title  book.  Such  transcript, or certified copy, or other duly made or
  certified document so  filed  shall  have  plainly  written  or  stamped
  thereon  the  number  of the certificate of registration of the title to
  the property to be affected and bound thereby by virtue of such memorial
  on such certificate, and it shall be the duty of the registrar  to  make
  such   memorial  immediately  on  receipt  of  the  same.  A  discharge,
  cancellation, or  modification  of  any  judgment,  decree,  attachment,
  mechanic's  lien,  or other lien or charge, so noted on the certificate,
  shall not affect or be binding upon the registered property,  right,  or
  interest,  unless  on  like evidence a memorial thereof shall be made by
  the registrar on such certificate.
