Such Order in Council shall only be made where the railway company establishes, to the satisfaction of the Lord Lieutenant in Council, that a copy of the Provisional Order as applied for by the railway company has been submitted to the proprietors of the company, at a meeting held specially for that purpose, as if such Order were a Bill promoted in Parliament by the Company, and that all matters and things have been done and have happened, and all times have elapsed, which if such Order were a Bill so promoted as aforesaid should have been done and have happened and elapsed in order to constitute compliance with the Standing Orders of Parliament applicable to Bills promoted by railway companies for the like purposes to those referred to in this section.

Such Order in Council shall not take effect unless confirmed by Parliament if a petition against it is presented to the Lord Lieutenant in Council, and the petitioner appears and proceeds therewith.
