loaw Society Makes Protest

Asks That Prohibition Act Be Amended To Give Right Of Appeal To the Supreme Court.

r- RESOLVID by the Law Society of Prince Edward Island in view of the

aecision of the Privy Council in the

ease oi Rex vs. Nat. Bell Liquors

Gertiorari are not entitled to look at

or examine the deposit ins or evi-

iencc given before Magistrates or ln-

Eerlor Courts even to tho extent of

nquiring if there was any evidence

lo justify a conviction that in the opinion of this Society The Prohibi- lion Act should be amended so as to eonlom-i with Liquor Legislation in the other Provinces of Canada to provide that, as well the prosecutor, l5 the defendant, shall have the right to Appeal ta the Supreme Court in bsnc, from any conviction, order or dismissal made by any Magistrate, stipendiary Magistrate or County Court Judge upon such terms as are reasonable and just.

FURTHER RESOLVED that in the opinion of this Society the provisions of The Prohibition Act granting a right of Appeal to a County Court iudge by a prosecutor from an order at dismissal by a Magistrate of a sham! IKI-lnst the provisions of The Prohibition Act and Yvitholding a right of Appeal by the defendant from a conviction under said Act is unjust tin-British and a fundamental blow against the rights and liberties of the subject. '

FURTHER’ IIBOINEB that i115 law should be amended in Rebels Corpus proccedinguto provide that it snail be the duty of the Court or Judge to examine and ider all the proceedings and evidence before the Magistrate-or County Court Judge to ascertain if such proceedings and evi- dence show that the person restrain- ed has been properly convicted and so that the truth of the facts set forth in the return may be examined into by afildavit or other evidence.

FURTHER. RESOLVED that the right oi trial by jury as at present existing shall not be abridged or tak- en away and that all Statutes, rules or regulations reltricting the existinB practice with regard to trial by jury be repealed.

FURTHER. RESOLVED that the existing practice of trial by seven jurors in Civil Cases be maintained; that such jurors shall be the Judges of the facts in evidence subject to the right of nonsuit by the Court or Judge or the granting of o. new trial according to the present practice of the Court.

FURTHER. RESOLVED that s copy oi this resolution be forwarded to the Attorney General.

Hon. Mr. Stewart asked for an ails- wcr to Question iii. relative to a pamphlet on provincial subsidy claims. referred to in the Patriot of Jan. t1 as having been issued by the Provincial Secretary.

Hon. Mr. Lea replied that the ans- wer wss not prepared.

Hon. Mr. srewsrt: I may u: that I went in search of the newspaper fyles this morning, and the Patriot iyle of January was not there. I think some special care should be taken to see that these fyles are kept there during the session. I ss- sured my hon. friend the Provincial "lreasurer that I would read that

fyles to get the Patriot. Did I un- derstand my hon. friend to say that the answer was being prepared?

Hon. Mr. Lea: I did not look that up particularly, but I instructed the assistant Provincial I eaeurer to get all the answers that were required.

Hon. Mr. Stewart: I would like to draw the attention of the larder of the Government to the fact that the newspaper fyles should be in their place in the library. We have always bad access to them.

Hon. Mr. Saunders: My hon. friendknows that the library is be- ing changed.

Hon. Mr. Btewart: Quite‘ so; but

that uisy‘ will not be 1m here, there and everywhere.

Hon. Mr. Saunders: The office is under lock and key. and the fyles are either in charge of Mr. Fraser or some other person.

Hon. Mr. Stewart: But "some oth- er person“ is of no use to us. We want to know who is in charge. Hon. Mr. Saunders; It is under lock and key and everything is be- ing safely protected. This is the first intimation I had that the fylss are not there. Tomorrow morning 1 will be able to give a definite answer. Hon. Mr. Stewart: Very well.

sistance to Disabled Workman.

A petition has been presented to the government bl‘ the KIWI"??? Protective Union of this city for the passing of a Workman‘: Compensa- tion Act modeled on the act in force in New Brunswick.

In the petition the request is made

that the act call for the payment of a designated amount to a central control board which shall have the power to distribute to injured and disabled labourers, 55% of the salary they have hitherto received. The ueount paid to each such labourer shall not exceed $35 nor be less than Q10". ' . The ratio in which each employer or firm shall contribute shall be gov. erned by the ‘clement of risk under which the employees labour. Provi- sion is also made in the requested legislation for labourers who become w. “v -. 1.! .

The labourers are requesting that the central control board consist of three members, one to be appointed by the government. one by the la- bourers and one by the lieutent-gov- emor in council.

But we are not in full agreement with the de- tails of the Federation's plan. we be- lieve that in addition to the class d Teacher's license, and experience e1 length of service, efficiency should be tskeninto account ill the adjust- ment and award of salaries. Salary should not depend wholly on acad- emic attainments and number d years in the profession; it should de- pend aiso, we think, on the success and proved capacity of the teacher. It is’ not possible to overlook the ef- fect which is inevitably created 1| the minds of manners who dcsplti hard work and successful effort, re- ceive the same salary year alter year. irrespective of their teaching power.
