I \m\r. .11 tliiH work, ciKlcavonrLMl to iito.i.xuri; and follow tlio
|mc<! of jiidiciiil umiI< in tlic KseliiHjuur Court from its early
origin ill Kiij,'laM(l down to fliu presuiit day in Caiii'da, and Imvo
iiiiidu sn(;li iiotfs upon tlio jni isdiction and practieo of tiiu (.'ourt
lifi I have tlioii;;lit inij;-iit lio (d' lue to tlio piafUlioiici.
Tlio prcpuratioM of (lie worl< iian l)coii niidurtakon with tlio
viow of foIk'ftiii<; in oiio book and in a convtjnioiit .sliapi- kucIi
j)artH of the most important ActH of I'arliaiiiciit as have an im-
mediate i.earin;r upon tlie jurisdiction and practice uf the (.'oiirt,
nnd also all the rules and orders of the Kxclie(|iior Court, which
rules and orders are now scattered throu>,di a larj,'e numher of
books .
Uy the last ({cneral Rules and Or.lurs, piiMished on the 1st
day of May, is'.t.-), (piite a nuinl.er of new rules have been put
into force and a f,'reat many amendments have been made to
the rules heretofore in force. All these cliaiii^'es have been
carefully noted.
Thinking' this book would not bo eoiriplote unless it con-
tained all the Rules and Orders, as well on the Rovcn.ii) and
(-'oiimion J.aw side of the Court as on the Admiralty side, I have
deemed it advisable to jirint separately, in an Appendix, at the
end of this volume, the Rules and Orders f,'overnin^' the practice
ami procedure in Admiralty cases in the Exchequer Court of
Canada.
Tlic groat number of in(juiries received by me since 1S87,
as Registrar of the Court, from members of the profession in all
parts of Canada, on the su!)ject of Uie practice of the Exchcciucr
Court, leads me to hope that my book, notwithstanding the
cnulities and imperfections of which I am only too well aware,
may be received with some measure of favour by those members
of the Bar who have o(!casion to practice before the Exchequer
Court, and that its usefulness will justify its publication.
While I do not anticipate that the iinaiicial return from this
publication will be in any way remunerative, yet should it prove
to be a good working tool for the profession, I shall feel amply
repaid for the expense and labour involved in the enterprise.

continuons session at the Exchequiir for the determination of all
pusnicss appertaining to the revenue ; but shortiv after the .rrant-
Hi>;of Mujna Ckarta, this i^reat court was peri'nanently divided
into three committees or courts, i.e. :—(!), the Exehe(|aer, bavin-
exclusive cognizance of fiscal matters and of the mana^^emeiit of
the Kings revenue; (2), the Common I'leas. where civil di-oute*
between subject and subject were to be adjud-ed ; and (3) the
Kings I.cnch, which Iia.l jurisdiction under the head of placda
coram liege, of all suits savouring of a criminal nature and mat-
ters cognate thereto. It is interesting to ii„te h,.\^- these several
.jurisdictions were enlarged by reciprocal encroachments of the
three courts upon each other, <lue to the litigiousness (1) of the
people (which seemed to increase in an equalratio with tlieir civ-
iii;iation) and the wonderful development of legal in..-ennitv at
tlie time. => n j
Thejurisdiction of the ancient Court of Exchequer is thus
defined in the Mirror of Justice (temp. Edw. II.) cap. 1, sec. 14 •
Ihe Exchequer IS only ordained for the Kings profit, t.. hear

reterciice to the usurpation ot jurisdiction ' by the Kxche.iuer
Court during the period under consideration :-'"Jt was usele4 to
'• ].ass a statute in 1300 forbidding the Exchequer to deal with
common pleas, except in so far as they might touch the King or
.minsters of the Exchequer. Fictions were introduced into the
pleadings of eaeh_ court by which common pleas were bron-dit
withm their cognizance, and while each retained its special b"is-
• ines.s and some matters remained special to the Common iiencli,
all three courts became, in the fourteenth century, for m.,s
purposes, accessible to all." '^

All parliamentary petitions, whether of the prelate's peer,
commons or individuals, until the reign of Henry V wero
addressed generallv to the King conjointly with the Council "'
Dr. (Tucst, m Ins Ihstonj of the English Parliament (at
p. 104) ex.jrcsses the opinion that it was not until the House of
Commons had acquired its definite status as one of the estates of
the realm ,n the hfteenth century that the true parliamenta^-
petition came into vogue. (See also p. 1(53 of the same worlc
and Ilearn's Government of England, p 572 )
As our enquiry into the nature of the ancient petitions and
the proce<lure upon them has largely to co with the rei-n of "l
ward I, we can do no better than to again refer at length to Mr
Maitland's valuable Introduviion to the Parliament JioUson^^
At p. Ixvii, he says :-" When we exami ,o the characte • of e e
petitions we soon see that for the most part they were n, fit
subjects for discussion in a largo assembly. They do n t asl-
for anything that could be called legislation; the rJ ponses

Cxenera ly the boon that is asked for is one whicl the K .;
without transcending his legal powers might either na, V m-
; eny. Sometimes we may say that, if the lacta are trul^ t tS
rules of common honesty to give him some relief:-Tlie Yc nff
owes him w.^i,es, or his lands have been wrongful y seized bf
the king s ofhcers. At other times wliat is asled fo il mm
grace and favour . . As yet no hard line is drawn be Wee, the
rue petition of right which shall be answered by a S
.;«.v?^<.a and all other petitions. 'Right' and 'grace\shi2. off int
eac.i other by in.sensible degrees, and there h a w e fiel

These petitions as Mr. Maitland points out (Introd v Ixviii^

ow. St. 1, at p. 58) : —
" it was urged that this petition was not a petition of riiWit
but of complaint against tlie King's ofHcors . And to shew tliat
it was so, it was said, that if it had been a petition of right, it
must have had another indorsement, viz :— " w/i! droit /ait al
partie, and then have been sent into Chancery; and that in
such cases the petition is the original upon which the proceediuff

" As to tliis,_in the first place, there needs not much labour
to shew that this was not a petition of complaint. It imports
nothing like it The petitioner states his case ; ho prays what
he wanted, and what was necessary, and it was granted him ;

tive proper officers, the barons, to see if he had right, and the
treasurer, if it were so, to pay him his arrears. Nobody is

As amended by .")3 Vict. cli. 38.— The original section has been amended
by t.dding after the words "making enciuiries," in the second lino, the
following : "or for tlie detenu iiutiioit of (tuy question or isstiti of fact ;''
by striking oil in the third line thereof, after the word "petition," the
words "over wltieli it has Jnrisdietio)i" and by adding after the word
"referee," in the fifth line, the words "for enquiry and report."
See Rules 187 to 193 relating to references, 2>ost.
Where the whole cause of action is referred to a referee for trial, he
will have the power to dispose as well of the costs of the reference as of
tlie action. For authoiitj- on the subject see Patten v. The West of Enij-

Ontario where the scope of a reference is much more limited than in

As amended by 54-55 Vict. c/i. 20, see. 7.
The following nilos in ox{iroi)riation matters have beon framed from
Mr. Cripp-,' work On CowpciisKtioii . They liave been summarized and
claasified witli a view of convenience to tlie practitioner : —
nULES FOR AO.rrDU'ATINO VVOS CLAIMS FOR LANDS TAKEN OR INJUFIOUSLY
AFKIX'TED .
WHERE LANDS ARE IX.IURIOUSLY AFFECTED ONLY.
Tlie damage or loss must result from an act made lawful by the
(!)■
statute
(•_>)— The damage or loss must be such as would otherwise have been
actionable.
(3)— The damage or loss must be an injury to lands and not a personal
injury or any injury to trade.
(4)-The dam.igo or loss nuist be occa.-ii(jne<l by tlie construction and
not by thr use of the works authorized. Cripps On (y ">,ensi(tion "nd
Ed. 113.
Referring to the view expressed in this last rule, 1..,, . ,fre, j. j^ y/,,,
Queen V. Bitrrii, 2 Ex. C.R. irw. said:-" Witii reference t.) the amount of
" compensation, it is established by the decisions under tlus Lands Clauses
" Consolidation Acts, though possibly th re ,6 still ground for some disciis.
" sion, that in cases of injurious alfectioii ...jnly, the owner is not entitled
" to compensation for injury arising fro:^ tli,. operation of the authorized
" works, but only for loss arising from tluir construction."
It is difl'.cult to see what proper distil ction can be made in respect to
the measure of damages between a case .n wiiich a part of the claimant's
land is taken, which of course would sustain an .iction but for the statute,
and a case in which some right.s or interest of liis in the same land are so
affected that but for the statute he would e(iually have a right of action.
If there is no actionable injury the claimant fails of course, butif he would
have had his action, on what principle can different rides as to the measure
of damages be adopted in the two cases? Is not the true rule in both cases
that stated in re Wwlhum v. The North E(ts1ei'n Raihcai/ Compamj, U
Q.B.D. 747, that the measure of damages is the dei)reciation in the value
of the property as a marketable article t . be emiiloyed for any purpose to
which it may legitimately and reasonably be put? And if so, will not ele
ments of damage arising from the natural and ordinary use of the work,
as well as those resulting from its construction, have to be taken into ac-
count in determining the amount of such depreciation ?

A.D. 18S«. An Act ICcHpccting i»ro(;ecMliiig»i siKsiiiiHt the
Crown by Petition of Uiglit.
Tlie Revised Sfahites of Oiiunhi cai)ic into force on the Ist day of
March, 1887, by proclamation issued on the 24th of January, 1887, in
pursuance of sec. 4 of 49 Vict,, ch. 4.
The first time the Parliament of Canada legislated on the subject
of petitions of right was in the year 1875, when tiie Act 88 Vict.,
el). 12, was passed, and jurisdiction to try suits by petition of right
against the Crown in rigiit of the Dominion was tiierein given to
the Superior Courts of the several Provinces. In the following session
of Parliament (1870) the establishment of the Exchequer Court was
provided for, and the Act of 1875 was entirety repealed and superseded by
39 Vict., ch. 27, which gave jurisdiction to the Excheciuer CJourt in respect
of petitions of right in Domiuidu matters. This last Act (39 Vict., ch. 37)
was subseciuently re-enacted in The Revised Statutes of Cdiiada under
cliapter 130, which, at the present time with the amendments made to the
same by schedules A and B of 50-51 Vict., ch. 10, constitute the Act In
force.
The practice and procedure relating to petitions of right in England
are now regulated by 23-24 Vict. ch. 34. Section 18 thereof provides,
however, that notliing contained in this Act sliall prevent a suppliant from
proceeding as before the passing of the same. The Act regulated the
practice, but not thi! law; and therefore the jurisprudence established prioi-
to the i)assing of the statute has not been interfered with by this new
legislation.
For the origin of the remedy by petition of right, the liability of the
Crown thereunder from t)ie earliest times and a brief discussion of some<ir
the leading cases on the subject see Introductioi. tj chis book, ante p. 48
e« 86(2.— Under sections !•') and 10 of The Rirhequer Court Act printed
ante p. p. 73, 70, will be found jurisprudence bearing upon the subject of
petition of right,

preceding inentioned shall give such directions as to the disposal,
application or itivefttiiient of such compensation money as it

therein.
Where in a case of expropriation all the claimants but one were of age
and those of age liad agreed to accept tiie amount of compensation
tendered by the? Crown, the court in view of such infancy of one of the
claimants directed that tlieic siiould lie a reference to take evidence for the
purpose of establishing whether the amount so tendered was a fair and
reawnable compensation for tlie land taken; and further when the amount
of compensation had been so ascertained the moneys coming to the said
infant were ordered to remain in ilie hands of the Crown, and bear interest
at the rate of four per coat, from the date of the .iudgment until the infant
had become of age, when the said inonej's were tc bo paid over to him.

Wlienever by an Act of a Provincial Legislature passed before the Uiiicm
authority is given to the Crown to peruiit an interference with the public

from the Crown which derogates from a public right of navigation is to
that extent void uuiess the iiilerlerence with sucii navigation is authorized
by Act of Parliament. The Provincial Legislatures, since the union of the
provinces, cannot authorize such an interference. Ibid.

ized hy the patentee or his Ic^fiil rc])resontiitives to make or use
it, and who uses it, shall he liahle to the patentee or hi,s le^al
representatives in an action of damages for so doing ; and tlie
judgment siiall l)c enforced, and tlie damages and costs tliat are
adjudged shall he recoverai)le, in like manner as in other eases
in the court in which the action is brought. 35 Vict., ch. 20,
s. 23 .
Action for iiifriiiKciucnt or patent.
.'{(K Any aetion for the infringement of a patent may he
brought in any court of record having jurisdiction, to the amount
of the damages claimed, in the Province in which the infringe-
ment is alleged to have taken place, and wliich is also that one of
the sai<l courts which holds its sittings nearest to the place of
residence or of business of the defendant ; and such court shall
decide the case and determine as to costs. 35 V^ict., ch. 26, s. 21,
part.
1. Infrinucmiint—Witnt of Novel fy.— When tlio combination of old
elements is a mere ag},a-egution of parts not in tlicniselves patentable, an<l
producing no new result due to tlie combination itself, there is no invention
and consequently such combination cannot form the subject of a patent.
IliinUr V. Carrwk. 11 Can. S.C.R. aOO.
3. CouLhination—yovcIf !/.—A.n invention consisting of the combination
in a machine of three parts or elements, A, R and C, each of which being
old and of which A iiad been previously combined with B in one machine,
and U and C in another machine, but the united action of whicli in the
patented machine producing new and useful results is a patentable
invention. iSiiiith i\ Gohlic, 0 Can. S.C.li. 47.
3. ratcnt~Ncw combination of known t'leinents. —A new combination
of known elements is an invention and as such is patentable. The person
who has devised such new combination has all the rights and privileges ot
an inventor even if the novelty consists in a trifling mechanical change,
provided, in the latter case, some economic or otiier result is produced
some way different from what was obtained before. Mitchell v. Tin-
Hancock Inspirafor Co., '2 E.k, C.R. 539.
4. Contractual character of a patent— Liberal interpretation,— llw
granting of letters jiatent to inventors is not the creation of an unjust
monopoly, nor the cont-ession of a privilege i)y mere gratuitous favour, but
it is a contract betweei; tlie state and the discoverer, which, in favor of tin)
latter, ought to receive a liberal interpretation. Barter v. Smith, 2 Ks.
C.R. 455.
5. Burden of proiif—Duti/ of patentee an to creating market fnr
J>rtfe«^ -It is not incumbent u])on a patentee to sliow that he has made
active efforts to create a market for his patented invention in Canada. It
rests upon those who seek to defeat the patent to show that he negleetiil
or rof'i-'ed to sell the invention for a reasonable price when proper a[ipli-
cation was made to him tlierefor. Ibid.
0. Patent— Xeu' combination of old material.^ or devices - .\n
invention coiiM: ting of a new and useful combination of well kno.Mi
materials or devices whicli produces a result not theretofore so obtained is
a proper subject for ;; i)atent. Toronto Telephone Mf<i. Co. v. Bell Tlr-

32. Whenever tlie plaintiff, in any sncli action, fail's to sus-
tain his action, hecant-e liis spcciiication and claim embrace more
than that of whicli lie was tiie first inventor, and it appears that

and truly spccilied and claimed as new, tlie court may discrimi-
nate,— and the judgment may be rendered accordingly. 85 Vict..
ch. 26, S.25.
Defence in actions for infringement.
33. Tlie defendant, in any such action, may plead specially
as matter of dtFence, any fact or default which, l)y this Act, or
by law, i-enders the patent void ; and the court shall take cogni-
zance of that special pleading and of the facts connected tliore-
witli. and shall decide the case accordingly. 35 Vict., ch. 26,
8. 26.
Proceedings lor inipeachnient of patent.
[" 3-I-. Any person who desires to impeach any patent issued
under tliis Act, may obtain a sealed and certified copy of the

according to the domicile elected by the patentee, as aforesaid, or
in the office of the registrar of the Exchequer Court of
Canada, — which Courts, respectively, shall adjudicate on the
matter and decide as to costs ; and if the domicile elected by the
patentee is in the District of Keewatin, the Court o" Queen's
Bench of Manitoba shall have jurisdiction until thei-e is a superior

2. Whenever a patentee has been unable to carry on the

As now in force (t895).— The above section as formei,/ rr j^,.a in cli.
61 of The Revised Statutes of Canada, has first been aui,.. 'ed by 53 Vict

24. sec. 6, (1892).
The result of these amendments has been to transfer to the Ex-
chequer Court of Canada the jurisdiction and powers formerly exerciseil
by the Minister of Agriculture in respect of disputes as to whether a pat-
ent has or has not become null and void under tlio provisions of tliis sec-

and, eonse(|uently, nuide them liable to pay a higher rate of duty, but
which in fact was never done before the goods came into his possession

be sent to a bonded warehouse as unclaimed goods for some live
or six months and were finally entered at the New York Custom House fer
transportation to Canada, and forwarded to Montreal, There being nothiiii;-
to show that A. at any time proposed to make any other disposition of the
teas, and there being nothing in what he did that contravened the laws of
regulations of the United States or of Canada with respect to the trans-
portation of goods in bond ; it was Jicid, affirming the judgment of the
Exche<iuer Court, (2 Ex. C.B. 120) that as it clearly appeared that the tci
.vas never entered for sale or consumption in the United States ; that it
was shipped from there within the time limited by law for goods in trai:sit
to remain in a warehouse; and that no act had beei; done changing lis
character during transit, it was therefore " tea imported into Canada from
a country other than the United States but passing in bond through the
United States," and under sec. 10 of the Act relating to duties of customs
(R.S.C. cli, 33) not liable to duty as goods exported from the United Stalen
to Canada, But see now 53 Vic, ch. 14 (D), Carter Macey (fc Co., v. 'Ilio.

Canada, with tho intention of imttiiig tlie parts togctlu'r tluTcand putting
tlie completed articles on tiic niiukct. lie interviewed the appraiser of
hardware at Montreal, explained to him the devit'O and its use, and was
told tliot it shoiihl pay duty as a niiiuifaeturo of brass. He imported a
number of sprinklers and paid '.lie duty o'l the several parts, and the Cus-
toms officials then caused the same to be seized, and an information to be
laid against him for smuggling, evasion of p,".yment of duties, nndr^'Mlu-
atior and knowingly keeping and selling goods illegally imported, under
sees. b5:i and 155 of Tlie Ciititom>t Art, 1833. and it was liehl, reversing the
judgment of the Excheijuer Court, per (iwynne, ,J., that there was no im-
portation of sprinklers, as completed articles, hy G., and as the Act is not
imposing a duty on parts of an article, the information should be dis-
missed, and further, that the subsecpient passage of an Act (4849 Vict.,
eh 61, 8. 11, re-enacted by 49 Vict., ch. 33, s. 01. R.S.C.) imposing a duty
on such parts was a legislative declaration tliat it did not previously exist.

13. SmugcjUnfj— Evidence— Burden of proof .—V^hi^re the Queen claims
the forfeiture of imported goods which were carried past tlie Custom
House without entry or permit, ami that such goods are subsequently
claimed by the owner who denies such charge, the onus prohandi is on the

going to press this case is standing for ' "ent before the Supreme Court
of Canada.)
15. Construction of Revenue ^-Icf— u\. ■■^ral fiscal policy, reference to.—
In construing a revenue Act regard sliould be had to the general fiscal
policy of the country at the time the Act was passed. When that is a
matter of history reference must be had to the sources of such history,
which are not only to be found in tho Acts of Parliament, but in the pro-
ceedings of Parliament, and in the debates and discussions which take
place there and elsewhere. This is a dilferent matter from construing
a particular clause or pr ivision of the Act by reforei.cj to the intention of
the mover or promoter of it expressed while the Bill or the resolution on
which it was founded was before tho House, which cannot be done under
the rules which govern the construction of statutes. — Ibid.
16. Custom-duties— R. S. C. ch. S2— Interpretation— Good faith —
Inqjortation of Jute elotli.— By itom GVd of II. S. C. 33, "Jute cloth as
" taken from the loom, neither pressed, mangled, calendered nor in any
" way finished, and not less than forty inches wide, when imported by
" manufacturers of Jute bags for use in their own factories" was made
free of duty. By item 201 of such Act it was provided that manufacturos
of Jute cloth not else\\ ..ere specified should be subject to a duty of 20 pw
cent, ad valorem. The claimants, who where manufacturers of Jute bag:',
hf d for a number of years imported into Canada Jute cloth cropped alter
it was taken from the loom. Item 073 was susceptible of several inter-
pretations, one of wliich was, that the Jute cloth so cropped
should be entered free of duty, and in this construiiimi

On the tirst day of each of such sittings, the Court will hear

When the iBSues are joined and the action ready for trial, any pa-ty

When, however, a general sitting has been fi.\ed by a General Ordc; nf

proceed to trial with his case may set down the same upon priccipennl
give the opposite party ten days notice thereof, uide.ss such delay is ilis-

1. Order — JiKhjmciit—Difitinvtioii bcfnvcn same. — An accepted drlini-
tion of tlie word " judgment '" in the United States seems to lie the follow-
ing :— " The final determination of the rights of the parties in an actimi m
proceeding.'" The class of Jiiilgments and decrees formerly called intci locu-
tory is included in the definition of tho word " order." " Every diir. lion
of the court or a .judge made or entered in writing and not includcil in n
judgment is an order. " Freeman on Judgment, pp. 14-15.

1. AjiplicatioH to re-oitcii ciise.— After an action hi)'' l)oen tried and
judgment delivered finding in favour of 8U|)pliant on an alleged in-each of
contract, it was referred to an oHieer of tlie Coiu-t to assess tlie damages,
if any, suffered by tlie suppliant. Sub.se(|uently a motion was mrale on
belialf of tlie Crown to re-open tin' case with leave to adduce further
evidence. Ailidavits were read in support of the a|)plication showing,
/■»/(')• (///a, that the Crown had material evidence to adduce by which it
would be shewn there was no contract at all. ami further that Counsel had
been in jiossession of such ovi<leiice at the time of the trial. Hdd, that
the application should be granted upon the Crown paying in any event all
costs incurred on the reference, costs of this application and of the further
evidence to be adduced respecting the contract, with leave to suppliant to
adduce evidence contra. Hnmphreu v. The Queen, January 9tli, 1801.
2. Applieatioti tore-oiieii «/se. — Where an action had been tried and
was standing for judgment, an application was iiiaile for leave to re-open
the case for the purpose of issuing a fommission to Holland to adduce
further and material evidence in respect of the trade-mark in question i'l
the action. The apiilication was allowed upon granting both parties leave
to join in the commission and to atlduce evidence resjiectively. DeKuijper
V. \'an Dulketu Juno 26tli, 1893.

nam and Surveys-Coxt of. -The cost of plans and surveys of neigh-
bouring properties made with the view of (lualifying or briefing a surveyor
as witness to give evidence at trial and where the plana were not hied of
record, was refused by the Registrar as taxable between party and party.
(McOannon v. Clarke, 9 (). P. R. 55.5. referred to).-The reasonable cost,
however, of a plan of the premises expropriated and used at trial was
allowed. On appeal to the Judge in Chambers to review the first findrng
and to increase the amount allowed for the plan last referred to, it was
held that the Registrar had only exercised his discretion m the finding and
the Judge refused to interfere with the same.-r/ie Queen v. Fhnn, Janu-

the Court or a Judge, the enquiry is to 1)0

the taxing officer, unless otherwise ordered
by the Court or a Judge.

ADMIRALTY RILES.
forfeiture unless the presumption therein raised can be rebutteil
bv the owner or master. T/w Queen v. The Ship ''Oscar tt'
fattier 3 Ex. C. R. 241 .
On appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada the above ]udg-
menr was varied. It was affirmed in so far as it was held that
when "a British ship is found in the prohibited waters of Behriuir
"Sea, the burden of proof is upon the owner or master to rebut l)y
"positive evidence that the vessel is not there u-ed or employed in
"contravention of the Seal Fishery {Behrirujs Sea) Act, 181U, 54-
"5.5 Vict. (Imp.) c. 19, sec. 1. sub-sec. 5." It was reversed in so
far as it found that ''there was positive and clear evidence that the
"Oscar k. Hattie" was not used or employed at the time of her
"seizure in contravention of 54 & 55 Vict, c.llt.sec. 1. sub-sec. 5."
The Ship ''Oscar & Hattie'' v. The Queeiu 23 Can. S. C. R. 39*1.
The Queen V. The Ship Ainoko" (4 Ex. C. R. 195) was the
next case of the kind decided by the same tribunal. It j^vas an
action for the condemnation of the ship "Aiiu)ko" under tiie Sea/
Usherij {North Pacijic) Act, \'r,m,-MM\\t was there held that
where the official log of a ship, arrested under the last mentioned
Act, did not disc'ose the position and proceedings of such ship on
certain material dates, an independent log kept by the inate and
offered in evidence to prove sucn fact.s will not be admissible as
evidence. (77*e "//««/7 Cftw;*", 3 P. D. 150. referred to). It
was further held that the mere presence of a ship within the
prohibited zone owing to a hona fides mistake in the master.^
calculations did not constitute a contravention of the Act.
The last of this class of cases is that of The Queen v. Tin.
Ship "Minnie'" (4 Ex. C. R. 151), for condemnation under the
Imperial British Seal Fishery {North Pacific) Act, 1S93, and
the Order in Council thereunder of July 4th, 1893, ot the
Schooner "Minnie" seized by the Imperial Russian Transport
"Yakout" within the forbidden thirty mile zone around Kormaii
dorskey Islands, manned and armed and having shooting hnple
ments and seal skins on board and otherwise fully equipped for
hunting, or attempting to hunt or taket^eals within the prohibited
waters in contravention of the enactments therein mentioned
It was in this case held that the Court might without proof, take
cocrnizance of the Imperial Order in Council referred to in sec. 1
oflhe Seal Fishery {North Pacific) Act, 1893, which reads a^
follows:— "Her Majesty the (iueen may,_ by Order in Council.
" prohibit during tlie period specified by the order, the catchini;
•' of seals !)v British ships in such parts of the seas to which the
" Act applies as are specified by order." Tuder subsec. 3 of sec.
1 of 56-57 Vict. (IT. K.) ch. 23, the provisions of sees. 1(>3 and
104 of The Merchants Act, 1854, giving jurisdiction to Cnlonial
Admiralty Courts in actions for the condemnation of ships guilty
of offences under such Act are made applical)le to offences against
tiio first mentioned Act. And where the protocol of the
examination of an offending British ship by a Russian vessel did
not disclose on Ita face that tiie person who signed the same was
an officer in command of the examining vessel, or that the
vessel was a Russian war vessel, the Court by reason of
it hem" a matter involving international
obligation
be robiittetl

[Title of court nml nr.tion.]
1. The Defendants are the owners of the Swedish barque
" Atlantic," of 9SS tons register, carrying a crew of nineteen
hands all told, and at the time of the circumstances herein-
after stated hound on a voyage to Cardilf.
2. A little l)efore L).:50 i).m.,^of the :31st .lanuary, 1878, the
" Atlantic" was aboiit liftmen miles S.E. by S. of the Lizard.
The wind was E.N.E. The weather was hazy. The
"Atlantic," under foresail, foreand main topsails, main top-
gallant sail, and Jil), was heacHnu' about W.S."\V., making from
live to six knot's an hour with her regulation lights duly
exhibited and burning, aud a good look-out beinu' kept on
board her.
3. In these circumstances the red lights of two vessels
were observed pretty close toii'ethcr, aboiit half mile oil', and
from two to three points on the starboard bow. The helm
of the " Atlantic " was piit to port iu order to pass on the
port sides of these vessels. One, however, of the vessels,
which was the " Anthes," altered her course, and exhibited
her green light, and caused danger of collision. The helm
of the " Atlantic " was then ordered to be steadied, but be-
fore this order could be completed was put a hard-a-port.
The " Anthes " with her starboard side by the ma'in rigging
struck the stem of the " Atlantic " and shortly afterwards
sank, her master and four of her crew beiuii' saved bv the
" Atlantic."
4. Save as hereiu-beibre admitted, the several statements
in the statement of claim are denied.
5. The " Anthes " was not kept on her course as required
by law.
6. The helm of the "Anthes" was improperly star-
boarded.
7. The collision was caused ])y one or both of the things
stated in the fifth aud sixth paragraphs hereof, or other-
wise by the negligence of the PlaiutilTs, or of tho.se
ou board the " Anthes."

her master included, whilst proceeding on a voyage from
Newcastle to Hull with cargo and passengers, ran aground

quite still, heading about E.S.E. Ellbrts were then made
to get the " Ne\\'castle "' again alloat by working her engines,
but it was found that this could not be done in the then
