There can be no doubt that the Ordinance is retrospective in as much as only the Judicial Tribunal before which cases under it have been brought, has declared, that whatever the intentions of its framers, it does not read "the Ordinance itself" retrospectively and from the decisions of this Tribunal the Crown has not apparently thought it indubitable right of appeal to the Supreme Court, the highest recognised Court of Colonial enactments.
We beg leave to express our satisfaction at the much-needed addition of a Foreman of Works to the Surveyor General's staff.
We now come to the subject embraced in the 2nd Resolution, the Ordinance for Fees & Costs; and we may remark that the Meeting discussed it with a full knowledge of the Crown's claims in Equity and Admiralty suits, in as much as a Land-holder ought to be aware.
