The Court ha: derided that the Scet Act i constitutional, which means that the! Dominion Parliament has the right to make provision for the granting of li- censes for the sale of liquor. The Court has also decided that the various Local Legislatures have not the power to pass legislation restricting the sale of liquors. The effect of this will be, as we take it, to wipe cut all the laws passed hy our Loca! Levislatures for the past thirteen years in reference to this subject. ‘the decisien is a most important one, and its binding force eoming from the Court ef final resort in the Dominion, cannot be further disputed. The decision is— in as far as it affects the powers of the Local Levzislatures—in direct antagon- ism to decisions of our own Supreme Court, but the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada must of cour-e be ac-~ cepted, no matter how other Courts may differ from it in epinion.— Halifax Herald. st. 2 iLnis ee ale Loss or Lire.—A London despateh | of the i3th says:—During a fire fas: nigh; in the Creesote works, near Vic- toria Dow Ks, one of the stilis exploded.
