It appears from the foregoing and the lapse of nearly eight years since the lots were re-entered that the petition has no merit and should be rejected.

Honourable Members will be asked to advise:

(a) under section 5 of the repealed Crown Rights (Re-entry)

Ordinance and by virtue of section 15 of the Crown Rights (Re-entry and Vesting Remedies) Ordinance (Chapter 126), whether the statutory period of six months from the registration of the Memorial of Re-entry should be extended to enable the petition to be considered; and if so,

(b) under section 7 of the repealed Crown Rights (Re-entry) Ordinance and by virtue of section 15 of the Crown Rights (Re-entry and Vesting Remedies) Ordinance (Chapter 126), whether the petition for cancellation of re-entry should be rejected.

(The Deputy Secretary for the Environment (Mr G. BARNES) will attend before the Council for the discussion of this item).
