ownership, in manner in the said Act required, as
may be limited in such order; and, upon such order
being made, all proceedings theretofore taken by the
Court in such matter shall be annulled, and the case
shall commence de novo, and shall proceed in manner
provided by the said Act: Provided that no appli-
cation for a rehearing shall be entertained if it be
