time to time for that purpose made with the advice of her privy council, to
provide for the admission of any appeal or appeals to Her Majesty in council
from any judgments, sentences, decrees, or orders of any court of justice
within any British colony or possession abroad, although such court shall not
be a court of errors or a court of appeal within such colony or possession;
and it shall also be competent to Her Majesty, by any such order or orders as
aforesaid, to make all such provisions as to Her Majesty in council shall seem
meet for the instituting and prosecuting any such appeals, and for carrying
into effect any such decisions or sentences as Her Majesty in council shall
pronounce thereon: Provided always, that it shall be competent to Her Majesty
in council to revoke, alter, and amend any such order or orders as aforesaid,
as to Her Majesty in council shall seem meet: Provided also, that any such
order as aforesaid may be either general and extending to all appeals to be
brought from any such court of justice as aforesaid, or special and extending
only to any appeal to be brought in any particular case: Provided also, that
every such general order in council as aforesaid shall be published in the
London Gazette within one calendar month next after the making thereof:
Provided also, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to extend to
take away or diminish any power now by law vested in Her Majesty for
regulating appeals to Her Majesty in council from the judgments, sentences,
decrees, or orders of any courts of justice within any of Her Majesty's
colonies or possessions abroad.
