AS INTERPRETED BY THE JUDICIAL COM- A HANDBOOK BY EDMUND L. NEWCOMBE ONE OF HIS MAJESTY'S COUNSEL THE DEPUTY MINISTER OF JUSTICE FOR CANADA OTTAWA PRINTED BY S. E. DAWSON, LAW PRINTER TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY 1908 CAN Entered according to Act of Parliament of Canada, in the year 1908, by Edmund L. Newcombe, at the Department of Agriculture. 1/22/42 PREFATORY NOTE. In the arguments before the Supreme Court of Canada and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of most of the constitutional cases in which the Dominion of Canada has been represented within the last twelve years the undersigned has had occasion to extract and arrange, more or less systematically, the decisions and observations of their Lordships of the Judicial Committee upon the various sections of the British North America Acts. This material, though very useful for reference, has become rather bulky and inconvenient in manuscript. Hence, in the economy of the Department of Justice, the utility of revising the compilation, expanding some of the writer's explanatory or critical notes, and having the whole turned out in the shape of a convenient handbook. By arrangement with the Minister the copyright remains with the undersigned. 2nd December, 1907. E. L. NEWCOMBE. |
