And whereas an appeal from the said order was made within the time prescribed by the said Act:

And whereas the Court has made an order determining the basic value of the land:

Now, therefore, the Minister of Lands, acting in pursuance of section 51 of the said Act, doth hereby declare that the said land is taken for the settlement of a discharged serviceman, and hereby specifies the 20th day of July, 1945, as the date on which the said land shall be deemed to be vested in His Majesty the King.
