The Registrar shall deal with every such application in the manner provided in this Act other than this Part, and if the Registrar is satisfied as to the grounds of the applicant's claim the Registrar shall in due course issue an ordinary certificate of title to the applicant, and shall call in and cancel or correct the limited certificate of title, as the case may require, under the powers conferred upon him by this Act for the correction of errors.
