Interest in the prohibition test i
creases, and the return of the advocate
Ontario's right to outlaw the liquor tr
0e, Dr. J. J. Maclaren, Q. 0., has into
sifted the anxiety of the temperance lea
ors in Toronto as to the outcome. T
rapidity with which the nese reached
gument before the Privy Council, is n
the least remarkable feature of this u
ique and remarkable case. Although
was not until this Spring that the S
preme Court of the Dominion render
their judgment, the efforts of the 001108for Ontario and the co-operation of t
Dominion Government law offioere,it w
placed on the Privy Council list in Me
This, it is understood, is the first i
stance on record of an appeal to the la
Court of the empire in such a short tim
The unexpected, however, allhoet fru
traced the efforts to secure an immediat
argument, for when Dr. Maclaren arrive
at Moville, the news reached him of th
defeat of the Rosebery Government t
Parliament, and the consequent under
tainty of public events. On reaobin
London he soon ascertained that as on
Lord Chancellor was being euoaseded b
another, and a dissolution of parliamen
decided upon, there would be no possibil
icy of the Daae being reached until site
the general elections. Two of the conn
sel in the case too, the Hon. Edwar
Blake and Mr. Haldane, were parliamen
tory candidates. The interval affords
Dr, Maclaren an opportunity of visiting
the continent, and, accompanied by Mrs
Maclaren, the eminent Canadian Queen'
Counsel made a most .enjoyable tour o
France, Italy, Germany and Belgium
visiting en route Paris, Rome and Venice
Thus invigorated for theforeneio fray, he
met Sir Oliver Mowat, Mr. Haldane and
the solicitors for Ontario, for consultation
in London. The details of the case coy
ering the seven test questions submitted,
were considered minutely, Sir Oliver
Mowat giving the aid of hie great know-
ledge of constitutional law. Dr. Maclar-
en states that the present Oourt or Com•
mittee of the Privy Council is beyond
Court
eotitled to be considered a strong
court. The 'court' in which the case was
argued, and in which all Privy Council
appeals are heard, is a government office
in Downing street. The room is n large
one, with walls partially hidden by book
shelves. At the chief table sit the fain.
ous judges who compose the committee.
As 11 is held to be a meeting of the Privy
Connell, the chair at the head of the
table is by a legal fiction presumed to be
for the Crown ; that is, during the pros.
ent reign, los Ier Majesty the Queen.
On the Ieft of the table, next this always
vacant chair, sits (the Lord Chancellor,
two others sitting on the same side of the
table, and three opposite to them. At
the foot of the table is a rained desk, be -
bind which the counsel addressing the
Court, bas to stand. A railing forms an
enclosure for the lawyers engaged on the
ease. The law lords sit at the table in
ordinary attire, but the counsel address-
ing them are required to appear in gown
and wig. 'Yes, we had to wear wigs,'
said Dr. Maclaren, smiling at the recol-
lection.
The Court included the new Lord
Chancellor, Lord Halsbory, whoprev-
ious to his elevation, was Sir Harding
Gifford ; the ex -Lord Chancellor, Lord
Herschel], for all ex -Lord Chancellors
during their lifetime are entitled in due
course to form part of this committee of
the Privy Council.
Usually the Privy Council appeals are
only attended by those absolutely engag-
ed
ngae
ed in the ease, but again was the test case
an exbeption to the rule, for at one of the
sittings no less than thirty eminent Can-
adians were present. Thie was a great
surprise to the officials. Not only was
there present Sir Oliver Mowat, Premier
of Ontario, the Bon. Edward Blake, Dr.
J. J. 1Vfaolaren and the Deputy Minister
of Justice for the Dominion, Mr. New-
combe, engaged in the oast, but also a
further array of visiting Canadian legal
lights, inoluding three high court judges;
Judge Burton, J edge McLellan and Judge
Street; two comity judges, Judge Mor.
son, of Toronto, and Judge Finkle, of
Woodstock. Other Canadian Queen's
conneel present were Messrs. Christopher
Robinson, Aemiliue Irving, Charles Moen,
Laidlaw and Marsh, Among the well-
known Canadians who visited the court
were D L Shepherd, publisher of "Sat -
=day Night" ; Mr. Dan Rose and Mr.
Pettigrew, of Winnipeg.
At detailed in the Witness the case was
opened on Thursday, August let. The
press was furnished with reports by the
official reporter, and the representative
Of the London Times. It is a rare thing
for the London papers to report the ar-
gument in Privy Council appeals, but the
Times considered it of so great interest
and importance that it devoted two bol-
umne a day to the argument and proceed-
ings. Each nonnsel in turn had to go
through the ordeal of being continnally
interrupted with questions. The law
lords seemed to vie with each other in
opposing pleas and arguments with ob-
jections. Authorities were pitted against
authority, but the Privy Conned judges

opinion in legal circles that the exolusive

will be definitely declared, the right of

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
The Listowel Banner says when
Mrs. Hamilton, who lives just at the
place where the Kincardine line crosses
2nd of Ima, a couple of miles from
town, looked out at 6 .o'clock Thursday
morning she saw a tramp lying on the
roadside beside the thank. Mr. Hamilton
went out half an hour afterwards to get
him a little further away from the track
before the morning train came down, and
found the supposed tramp to be the body
of David Martin, stone dead with the
head and shoulders badly out up. He
sent word to his people in town at once
and Coroner Watson and Constable But -
mer went out to investigate. A bottle
with about three inobee of whisky 're-
maining was found in his pocket. He
had evidently been standing or sitting
on the road at the edge of the track as
the late mixed name from Atwood. He
was struck by some part of the train and
kncoked about ten or twelve feet to the
road -side. So badly was be out about
the face, head and shoulder that he must
have been instantly killed. His cap and
the cork out of the whisky bottle was
found on the road where it is supposed
he was first struck. Martin bad been in
town Wednesday afternoon wibh hie wife
and family. He took them home and re-
turned in the evening to town. He was
refused liquor at several planes in town
bat had managed to obtain a bottleeome.
where and no doubt was stupid with
whisky when the accident warred. Au
inquest is being organized as we go to
press, and no doubt the full faote will
come to light. Martin was a young man
and leaves a wife and two small children.
Ole bas been drinking heavily of late
years and sellers bad been notified not to
supply him with any liquor. It is some-
what remarkable that the train men do
not appear to have known anything about
the affair, ab toast they said nothing
about having killed a man when they
came to the station.
