XLVI. It shall and may be lawful for any Person who would be authorized under the Act of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Years of Her Majesty, Chapter One hundred and twenty, intituled An Act to facilitate Leases and Sales of settled Estates, to make an Application to the Court of Chancery for the Sale of a settled Estate in Land, instead of making such Application to the said Court of Chancery to apply to the Court created by this Act for the Purpose of having the Sale of such settled Estate in the said Lands under the said last-mentioned Court; and thereupon it shall be lawful for the Court to exercise all the Powers conferred upon the Court of Chancery in relation to Sales of such Nature under the Provisions of the said last-mentioned Act; save that the Judge shall himself execute the Conveyance to the Purchaser under such Sale, and save that such Conveyance shall have the like Operation and Effect, and confer such indefeasible Title to the Purchaser, as if such Sale had been made and such Conveyance had been executed upon an Application for the Sale of an Incumbered Estate under this Act: Provided always, that the Court shall make such Investigation of the Title and Circumstances of the said Lands as the Court shall see expedient, and as in other Cases preliminary to Sales under this Act provided also, that every Decision and Order in the Course of such Proceeding shall be subject to Appeal to the Court of Appeal in Chancery as in other Cases under this Act.
