WHEREAS by an Act passed in the session of the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth years of Her present Majesty, intituled “An Act to remove doubts concerning, and to amend the law relating to, the private Estates of Her Majesty, her heirs and successors,” certain provisions are made concerning the private estates of Her Majesty, her heirs or successors, including under that description any manors, messuages, lands, tenements, leases, and hereditaments, and other real or heritable property and estate, of whatsoever tenure the same may be, whether situate or arising in England, Scotland, or Ireland, or in any other part of Her Majesty’s dominions, which had at any time theretofore been purchased or acquired by Her Majesty, or should at any time thereafter be purchased or acquired by Her Majesty, her heirs or successors, out of any moneys issued and applied for the use of her or their privy purse, or with any other moneys not appropriated to any public service, and any manors, messuages, lands, tenements, leases, and hereditaments, and other real or heritable property and estate, of whatsoever tenure the same may be, whether situate or arising in England, Scotland, or Ireland, or in any other part of Her Majesty’s dominions, which had come to Her Majesty, or should or might come to Her Majesty, or her heirs or successors, by the gift or devise or disposition of, or by descent, inheritance, or succession, or otherwise, from any of her or their ancestors, or any other person or persons not being kings or queens of this realm, and any manors, messuages, lands, tenements, leases, and hereditaments, and other real or heritable property and estate, of whatsoever tenure the same may be, and whether situate or arising in England, Scotland, or Ireland, or in any other part of Her Majesty’s dominions, which did or should belong to Her Majesty, or her heirs or successors, or to any person or persons in trust for her or them, at the time of her or their respective accessions to the Crown of this realm, and which before such accession she or they respectively might have legally granted, sold, given, devised, disponed, or conveyed: | ||
