"Admit for decision on substantial questions of law (a), (b), (d), (e) framed in the memo of appeal.

3. It is difficult to see how the learned Single Judge could have said that f no substantial question of law arose when he himself had considered Questions (a), (b), (d) and (e) framed in the memo of appeal to be substantial questions of law.
