the power en good cause shown to grant leave to the Attorney-General to appeal from my declaration to the full Court. Who have the free usu or is not represented before the Land Court, Iing to the what arent that the Counsellors for the applicants had not read the affidavit ordered to be made at the time the order was made, his Lordship said it seemed to him a very strange thing that where $480,000 were being claimed as compensation by their clients they should not have taken a trouble to read it.
I must have been open to him on the files of the Court. Though they would have listened very intently to that application for leave to appeal, although it was short, if they knew it was relied on, and if they had read the affidavit they would have found there was a suggestion of forgery against one of the documents so long ago as August and on. Would 1870 though they would have lived without undue delay to be made respondents. The acceptance was soddenly (though not upon affidavit) was the firma of solicitors. He said in this affidavit but with his assistance of the world he could only say it was a very strange thing they should not have taken the trouble to read it, then much in no-teous of money was involved.
De Vos was inclined to think they ought to have acted before and were too late now; he thought they were out of time, there had been great deal of delay in making this application. But he did not decide the matter on that line, as the Court had to decide was whether the decision of the Land Court was proper and correct or not. Supposing the men who had got the recommendation of the value of their claim by the Land Court made application and the assignees were willing to consider and make another one to-morrow, the fact of a number of things happening some years afterwards could not affect the propriety.
