Notes

Related to another Privy Council appeal:

Ord v Houdin – Report No. QUE_1767_01 (APC v.5 [39] p.110).

The controversy in Johnstone v Houdin may be continued in Ord v Houdin. The APC entries are vague on this point. Both appeals are mentioned in a speech to the Empire Club of Canada by The Honourable William Renwick on 17 March 1927.
