HC Deb 28 July 1896 vol 43 cc835-6

"The powers conferred on judges of the Chancery Division of the High Court by the nineteenth section of the Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1887, in oases where an absolute order for the sale of land has been made by any such judge, and a receiver has been appointed, shall apply to any case in which a receiver has been appointed over land by any of the said judges, and notwithstanding that a sale has been ordered by some judge of the Chancery Division other than the Land Judge."

The object of the clause was to amend a beneficial provision of the Act of 1887. That provision, though general in its terms, had hitherto been restricted in its application to cases where a receiver had been appointed by a Judge of the Landed Estates Court.

Clause, by leave, withdrawn.
