Movedby Mr. Weir, seconded by Mr. Phair, that the Coen- . -i• cepted from C. McDonald and R. Wes- ton, as a settlement in, full of all dam- ages on account of J.

"%pointed out that it never could have been the intention of the framers ot the statute to give the Ontario Government the power of imposing a tax on the mrinufaeturers of malt, and alluded. to the at:omelette poeition of a, brewer pay - an excise duty to the DOnniniOn GOvermnent, and. being afterwards call- edeapon to procure a license from the Ctevermneut, for the sale of his manufactures. To illustrate the inten- tion, he referred to the position in the old, Province of Canada before Confed- eration, and, concluded by summarizing hit views. Ve etnisidered. that under the British -North America, Ant, the power of reguleting trade and. cora,- merce rested exclusi.vely with the Do- minion Parliament, which always had the right to raise money by means of in- ditect taxation, except so far as is ex- pressly given to Local Legislatures. Making it necessary to take out &brew- ers. license, was raising money by an indirect mode of taxation. The only mode given to the Local Legislature of raising money by indirect taxation, was defined in section 92 of the British North America Act. Looking at things as they existed before the passing of the Act, he did not think that the words and. other licenses " was meant to cover e case like the present. If power -were given to Local Legislatures to raise Money by indirect taxation, it would, no doubt, be generally exercised with - oat regard to the means a the Domin- ion Parlia,ment. Was a significant fa.ct thet since the passing of the Act requiring the manufacturers of malt to take out is license to sell by whole - Baba the Legislature of Ontairio had. raised the tax from "$50 to $150. He thought the decision of the Court slionld, be reveesed... Justices Ritchie and Strong dissented op. the ground. that there need. be no conflict of authority, as the power of disallowance of as Provincial Act in: terfetieg with the Dominion Act -was vested. in the Governor-General in Council.
