Land Claims Ordinance, and it was agreed that the said admission should have the same effect in all respects as if it had been made in the body of the pleadings. The said Supreme Court, on the hearing of the said demurrer, gave judgment for the said defendant George Clarke, on the ground that no sufficient legal ground had been disclosed for avoiding the said deed of grant of the 16th May, 1844. Whereupon your Petitioner, feeling himself aggrieved by the said judgment, applied to your Majesty in Council, for leave to appeal direct therefrom to your Majesty in Council, and your Majesty was graciously pleased, by your Order in Council of the eighteenth day of July, 1849, to grant such leave. The Appellant therefore humbly prays your Majesty in Council to take the said appeal into consideration, and that a day may be appointed for hearing the same, with summons as usual for the said George Clarke to appear thereon; and that the said judgment may be reversed, varied, or altered, and such order made thereon as to your Majesty may seem meet and the justice of the case may require. The Lords of the Committee, in obedience to your Majesty's said order of reference, have taken the said Petition and Appeal into consideration, and have heard your Majesty's Attorney-General on behalf of the said Appellant, no appearance having been entered on behalf of George Clarke, the respondent, and their Lordships do this day agree humbly to report to your Majesty their opinion that the said sentence of the Supreme Court of New Zealand ought to be reversed, and that judgment on the scire facias ought to be entered for your Majesty's Crown.

Her Majesty having taken the said Report into consideration, was pleased, by and with the advice of her Privy Council, to approve thereof, and to order as it is hereby ordered that the said sentence of the Supreme Court of New Zealand be and the same is hereby reversed, and that judgment on the scire facias be entered for Her Majesty's Crown. Whereof the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, or Commander-in-Chief of the island* of New Zealand for the time being, and all other persons whom it may concern, are to take notice and govern themselves accordingly.
