Notes

Related to another Privy Council appeal:

Johnstone v Houdin – Report No. QUE_1763_00 (APC, v.4 [506] p.559).

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