Ceilings were swept away com- pletely from major types dustrial machinery; from a wide range of household items like awnings, fruit jar rings, medicine droppcrs. rubber floor mats; from nearly all the furs not previously exempted; and from thousands of builds-ht: hardware and equip- mcnt items.

For other manufacturers-such as those making stepladders, raz- or blades, glass light shades and automatic pencils-the way was open to apply for higher priccs on their lowest-cost lilies.

The question was raised during discussion on a bill to Ln- ccease fudges’ salaries:

Mr. McLure: "Mr. Chairman, I Beldtlm w!!!‘ into a. discussion oi bills of this kind. for the reason that l am not a lawyer and the legal fraternity are well able ro take care of them. But I desire to direct a question to the Minis. tar of Justice which deals with the iudiciary my Province, Prince Edward Island. The mat- ter I shall mention I have often heard our lawyers discuss in Char. lottetown and in diflerent parts o: the Island. - “In Prince Edward Island the Supreme Court which consists of three judges as at present consti- tuted. we have no real court of appeal. I understand that when a judgment. is given by one judge an appeal may be heard only by the remaining two judges of the Supreme Court bench. with the result that if they disagree, as

stands, even when the appeal judges disagree on points noteven raised before these trial judges. I might also mention that the out- come of many cases is often un- . tisfadtoro- because’ the.. aunt hvolved does not permit oi an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. Does the bill now before us take care of such a situation as this, and lhs any considerat- ion: been given to the rearrange- ment of the judiciary oi Prince Edward Island so as to provide for sh efficient appeal court with-

Mr. St. Laurent: "This bill does not take care of the situation re- ferred to by the hon. member. consideration has been given to it at various times ever since l as- sumed the office of Minister of Justice. Oh-e of the suggestions made was that the number oi County Court or District Court Judges be reduced and the num- ber of High Court Judges increas- ed so that there would always be three High Court Judges who had not participated in the judgment from which an appeal was taken. That has been discussed with the provincial authorities." The Hon. Member will realize that it is a nlatter within their jurisdiction. They are the ones who determine what courts they will have and

often happens. the trial Judgment.

That the Dominion Govern- ment has failed in its constitut- ional obligation to provide Prince Edward island with an adequate court of appeal in accord with the expressed will oi the Legislature. was the view expressed to a Guardian representative yesterday by Mr. W. E. Bentley, K.C., sec- retary of the Law Society oiPrihce Edward Island.

Queried with regard to a recent statement in the House of Com- mons by Justice Minister St. Laurent on the subject of provid- ing a fourth Supreme Court judge to insure an appeal court of three iudges. Mr. Bentley said:

"Under the provisions of the British North America Act, i867, certain duties and. obligations are imposed upon the Province; oth- ers upon the Dominion. It is the duty of the Province. for instance. to declare what courts shall be constituted. This is done in the {or-m or a provincial statute. It then becomes the duty of the Dominion Government to make appointments to tho Judiciary so constituted.

“Such a statute was passed by the Prince Edward Island Legis-

lature in 1922. chapter 6 ot the statutes of that ear enacted that ‘the bench of t e said Supreme

Court shall be composed of a Chief Justice and three other Judges.‘ That Act was enacted in May. i922. and was well the legislative authority of the Provincial Legislature, under Sec- tion 92 (l4) of the B-N-A- A6!- 1861. Section 92 (14) declares that ‘in each Province the Lezlslature may exclusively make laws in re- lation to matters comina With-ill the class oi subiects next herein- after enumerated. that is to say! =14) The administration of jus- tice in the Province, including the constitution. maintenance and 0f- "oanizationdaf Provincial Courts.‘

"The Act of i922 was thus with- in the exclusive legislative juris- diction of the Prince Edward Is- land Legislature. The Act has been ie-enacted on several occasions.- for example, 1937, chapter 20. and ‘.940, chapter 35. and is still the law.
