A further order on this subject forward ¾¾ In the Land-office, January 1st, 1800.     Whereas it is represented to the chancellor that caveators have taken the opinion of eminent counsel on the 11th section of " an act relative to proceedings in the court of chancery, &c." passed at the session of November 1797, and the said counsel have so construed the said section that none of the caveats instituted before the passage of the said act should be discontinued after January 1800 for want of prosecution, unless application had been made to the chancellor to bring the same to issue: and, whereas the said construction appears to the chancellor to be contrary to the plain meaning of the said section, and to the object of the said act, to prevent any inconvenience or injustice which might otherwise result from the mistakes of caveators, relying on the said erroneous construction;     It is, by the chancellor, adjudged and ordered, that every caveat standing in this office, which was entered before the 21st day of January 1798, which was the time of passing the said act, under the special circumstances herein before stated, viz. under the misapprehension occasioned by the said opinion, be, and it is, hereby continued until the first day of May next, or until some further order, to be passed before the said first day of May.                                         A.
