In all cases where errors in issuing or recording grants are sought to be corrected, an application shall be made in writing to the Governor showing that notice in writing of the nature and time of the application has been served upon every person who may be in any manner interested in the question. If no objection is filed and satisfactory evidence of the error or mistake is produced and submitted in writing, the Governor may pass an order requiring the error to be corrected and, if necessary, requiring a new grant to be issued upon delivery of the first grant for cancellation.
