It is assumed that between these dates, 1,667 laws were passed by the Gover- nor -in -Council by virtue of the delega- tion alleged to have been made by the War Measures Act. These laws become a matter of anxiety. They deal with , many matters besides conscription and the conduct,. of military operations. Upon orders in council depends the freedom of the farmers' trade with the United States, Will these laws, if valid now, be valid at the end of the war, when the virtue of the War Mea- sures Act ceases? They cannot fail to engage the attention of Parliament, and it is possible that they may pro- voke trade and tariff controversies, which many assume have been closed for good.

Mr, Grieve brought the action' against the township for damages Mr.who he sustained... J. Best uM. conducted the case for Mr. Grieve, contended at the trial that the township was liable because the ' road was too narrow where the ac- cidenthappened, beingonlyfron tothe 14 feet wide, and that t e law requires that such places should be guarded by a railing where the road is so narrow and the embank- ment so steep,. and 'also that the township could have prevented the water from flowing across the road which was the cause of the horse becoming frightened and shying.
