3. Whenever it is necessary to enforce a right of re-entry by the Crown upon any such lands or tenements for the breach of any covenant in the Crown lease thereof, or for the breach of any condition or stipulation of any tenancy thereof, a memorial of such re-entry, under the hand of any officer authorized to sign such memorials by Command of the Governor, may be registered in the Land Office, and, immediately on the registration of such memorial, the Crown shall be deemed to have re-entered upon the lands or tenements described therein and in respect of which such right of re-entry has accrued, and the said lands and tenements shall ipso facto become thereby re-vested in the Crown as fully as if the Crown lease thereof had determined, or a surrender to His Majesty of such Crown lease had been executed by the lessee, his executors, administrators, or assigns, or, as the case may be, as fully as if the tenancy had absolutely determined: Provided always that in case the lessee, his executors, administrators, and assigns, dispute or disputes the right of the Crown to re-enter, he or they may apply by summary petition to the Supreme Court in its equitable jurisdiction for relief against such re-entry:
