</div>EDWARD WIREDU J.<o:p></o:p>Two matters raised for consideration in this application for a
stay of execution are:<o:p></o:p>(a) The legal
effect of the establishment of one High Court of Justice under article 112 of
the Constitution of the Second Republic, 1969, which is saved by section 4 (a)
of the National Redemption Council (Establishment) Proclamation, 1972, on the
continued practice of heading writs, pleadings and other documents filed by
parties and lawyers in the High Court registries with reference to specific
“Judicial Divisions,” e.g. “In the High Court of Justice, Central Region, Cape
Coast”; and<o:p></o:p>(b) The general
principles governing a stay of execution pending an appeal.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>The facts of this case which have provoked the above matters for
consideration may be stated as follows: On 18 June 1975, Sarkodee J. sitting at
the Accra High Court, gave judgment in favour of the plaintiff-respondent to
this application in a suit commenced in the Tamale High Court, under suit No.
25/68 for the following reliefs against the defendants-appellants:<o:p></o:p>(a) A declaration
of title to all that piece or parcel of land whose boundaries were agreed upon
by counsel for both parties during the course of the trial and as recorded on
10 March 1975, and which has been graphically described and delineated in
exhibit D edged in red.<o:p></o:p>(b) The recovery
of possession of the land as described in (a) above.<o:p></o:p>(c) Perpetual
injunction restraining the first defendant and the stool of Shiare whether by
themselves, their agents, servants, labourers and assignees from entering the
land in dispute or in any way interfering with the plaintiff’s possession of
the said land.<o:p></o:p>(d) An order
ejecting the second defendant from the land in dispute as described in (1) above,
and<o:p></o:p>(e) ¢2,000
damages for trespass jointly and severally.
