requested to comply with any lawful order or decree of Her Majesty in council,
or of the judicial committee of the privy council or their surrogates, made

obedience to such lawful order or decree, or shall commit any contempt of the
process under the seal of Her Majesty in ecclesiastical and maritime causes,
it shall be lawful for the said judicial committee or their surrogates to
pronounce such person to be contumacious and in contempt, and, after he or she
shall have been so pronounced contumacious and in contempt, to cause process
of sequestration to issue under the said seal of Her Majesty, against the real

consequent thereon, and to make such further order in respect of or consequent
