The court considered the way in which the 1841 Act might operate as to a reversion of the title. Clauson J said: ‘In my view it is plain that the deed is intended to operate and operate only under the [1841] Act, and the effect of dealing with the matter as if the Act had not been passed is to destroy the authority under which and under which alone the grant was intended to operate : the result is therefore in my view precisely the same as if the statute had said the reverter is to take place as if the grant had not been made.’
