hands or under the hands of such of their number as may be specified in the Com-
missions respectively, their opinion upon the matters presented for their consideration ;
and that any proceedings which they or any of them may have taken under and in
pursuance of the said Commissions since the late Demise of the Crown and before the
issue of these Presents shall be deemed and adjudged to have been taken under and
in virtue of this Our Commission.
