Extension of Jurisdiction

Extension of Jurisdiction.

15.Governor in Council may extend jurisdiction. The Governor in Council may, by Order, from time to time confer upon the Court, as effectually as if the same were conferred by this Act, jurisdiction in any matter or question referred to in such Order exclusively affecting the rights of Natives in any real or personal property, and thereupon the Court and each Judge thereof shall have full jurisdiction and power in such matter to decide and make order as it may deem fit; and such decision or order, subject to the right of appeal as hereinafter provided, shall be valid and binding in law, and may be dealt with as nearly as may be in the same manner as an order of a similar nature made by the Court in exercise of the jurisdiction conferred upon it by this Act.
