of the said Dominion, doth hereby order and declare that
the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall be
valid to all intents and purposes as though the said notice
and the said voting-paper had set forth the aforesaid particu-
lars as required by the said Act, and that the validity of
the proceedings in connection with the said loan or of the
security for the said loan shall not be called in question on
the ground only of such irregularity aforesaid.
