I move amendment 6:—
In sub-section (1), paragraph (c), page 3, line 1, to delete the words " entailed interest " and to substitute the words " estate in tail."
SECTION 3.
(1) Subject to the provisions of this Act, a legitimated person and his spouse, children or more remote issue shall be entitled to take any interest:—
(a) in the estate of an intestate dying after the date of legitimation;
(b) under any disposition coming into operation after the date of legitimation;
(c) by descent under an entailed interest created after the date of legitimation;
in like manner as if the legitimated person had been born legitimate.

(3) Where prperty real or personal or any interest therein is limited in such a way that, if this Act had not been passed, it would (subject or not to any preceding limitations or charges) have devolved (as nearly as the law permits) along with a dignity or title of honour, then nothing in this Act shall operate to sever the property or any interest therein from such dignity, but the same shall go and devolve (without prejudice to the preceding limitations or charges aforesaid) in like manner as if this Act had not been passed. This sub-section applies, whether or not there is any express reference to the dignity or title of honour and notwithstanding that in some events the property or some interest therein, may become severed therefrom.
Amendment agreed to.
I move amendment 7:—
In sub-section (3), page 3, line 18, to insert after the word " dignity " the words " or title of honour."
Amendment agreed to.
Section 3, as amended, agreed to.
I would like to draw attention to one small matter. In the summary printed on the side of Section 4 the word " legitimate " appears. It should be " legitimated." It is merely a printer's error. It is not part of the Section.
Apparently it is a printer's error. However, it is noted.
Sections 4 to 7, inclusive, agreed to.
