38 & 39 Vict. Cap. 60, s. 12. 
(id.) Either division of the Inner House of the Court of 
Session, the Court of Queen’s Bench at Dublin, 
and the judges of the Court of Queen’s Bench in 
England respectively, may make rules or orders 
as to the form of appeals and the trying thereof 
and otherwise relating thereto (<Z). 
(9.) If refusal overruled, acknowledgment of registry to be 
given.—If the refusal of registry be overruled on appeal, 
an acknowledgment of registry shall thereupon be given to 
the society by the registrar (d). 
(10.) Effect of acknowledgment of registry.—The acknow 
ledgment of registry shall be conclusive evidence that the 
society therein mentioned is duly registered, unless it be 
proved that the registry of the society has been suspended 
or cancelled (d). 
12. Cancelling and suspension of registry.—With respect 
to the cancelling or suspension of registry the following 
provisions shall have effect :— 
(1.) Cancelling.—The chief registrar, or in the case of 
societies registered and doing business in Ireland or Scot 
land exclusively, the assistant registrar for Ireland or Scot 
land respectively, may cancel the registry of a society by 
writing under his hand— 
(a.) If he thinks fit, at the request of a society, to be 
evidenced in such manner as he shall from time 
to time direct (e) : 
(d) These provisions are new. Under the previous law, in 
the case of Hodges v. Wale, 2 W. It. 65, Wood, Y.-C., held 
that the registrar’s certificate was conclusive as to the purposes 
declared in the rules of a society being such as to entitle it to 
the benefit of the Act; but in R. v. Davis, 14 \V. It. 329; 1 
Weekly Notes, 25, it was held that evidence might be admitted 
to show that a society having certified rules was so carried on 
as not to be, in fact, a society for the purposes authorized by the 
Act. It would seem that, under this section, the acknowledg 
ment is absolutely conclusive, until cancelled under sect. 12. 
( e ) Where the cancelling is for the purpose of re-registering 
the society as a branch of an order, a simpler procedure is pro 
vided by s. 3 of the Act of 1876.
