Supreme Court on the hearing of any such petition, may order the cancellation of the memorial of re-entry upon the lands and tenements in respect of which the petition has been presented, and such cancellation, if so ordered, shall be effected in manner hereinafter mentioned.
9. A memorial of re-entry by the Crown shall be deemed to have been cancelled if a memorandum, signed by the Colonial Secretary, to the effect that the same is cancelled by order of the Governor-in-Council or of the Supreme Court is written or indorsed thereon, and, immediately on such cancellation, the memorial shall become void to all intents and purposes as if the same had never been made or registered, and the lands and tenements described therein shall be ipso facto re-vested in the lessee, his executors, administrators, and assigns, for all his or their previous estate and interest therein, and the Crown lease thereof, and every mortgage, charge, or lien previously existing thereon, shall be deemed to be as valid and subsisting in every respect as if no such re-entry had been effected by the Crown.
10. The form of memorial in the schedule or any form to the like effect, may be used for the purpose of section 3, with such variations as the circumstances of the case may require.
11. Notice of the registration of a memorial of re-entry by the Crown and of any cancellation thereof, shall be published in the Gazette.
