The Attorney-l lenernl replied that he was atraid the bill would do more harm than "toad, the present ditliculty being to get a Conviction. This ditlicnlty. be thought, would be augmented by the proposed amendment. He hoped the member for Dundee would we his way to Withdraw the bill.

Mr. Snider, in moving the second reading ed the bill respecting municipal tire insur- Mlce, laid thut he consulted his constituents during the recess and found that they Were almost unanimous in its favor. Ile com- plnined that regular tire insurance com- pnniel charge too high rates, largely due to the high expenses incurred in conducting them. The ohject of the bill, as its name implies, in to enable municipalities to organ- ise under their own control such system as would protect them from losses in case of firms, had that at the lowest rates possible. Hon. Mr. Gibson did not think that the law proposed could be. carried out success- fully by municipalities, inasmuch as there on many iutricucies in connection with iu. "trance requiring skill and prudence in duling with them. However, he never bond of any public demand for such wen for municipalities. If there had Egon it had not come under his attention. Undcrtheso circumstances he hoped the mover would withdraw. Mr. Snider re- gretted the opposition of the Provincial 'r0i'ottbry, and in that (are he could not but conscut with regret again to withdraw "bill. THP. JUDICATURE ACT. The House proceeded then to consider the second reading of Mr. Meredith's bill to amend the Judicature Act. It simply pro. vides that there shall hereafter be no appeal to the Court of Appeal from any interlocu- tory order, whether made in court or chem. hers, in any matter oi practice or procedure only. Mr. Meredith, throughout his re. marks, complained that rich corporations were in the habit of dragging suitors from court to court, taking advantage in this way of the present law to retnrd the course ot justice. His amendment was to remedy this state of alhsirs, by giving plaintiffs an opportunity of not being unduly kept from toseertainiug their rights, by orders issued from Courts in which the action was not tried end that on side issues. He Que mnny instnnces to show the hardships auf. fered by litigents under the present law, owing to a. series of appeals, such a condit. ion oi things, in his estimation. being a dis. grace to the adatinutration of law. w'" in" The Attorneyu"aastisriil believed MET House would give him credit for having made the practice of the courts as simple as possible, never having throughout his incumbency of ofbm passed one sin- gle law that favored the rich at the expense of the poor. [he construction which Mr. Meredith put on the clause of the statute under coueideretion was not correct. inasmuch as it distinctly tspecifies that special leave must be obtained from the Court of Appeal belore an appeal will lie from the Divisional Courts. Mr. Mowat rend communications from eminent jurists stating that the practice as now understood in the matter of appeals was working very satisfactory. Under the present law there have only been seven appeals in tive years, the judges having decided the practice to the satisfaction: of all. The judges exer- cised their discretion cautiously and in every case to prevent unnecessary litiga- tion. All judges of appeal are of the opinion that there ought to he an appeal in matters of practice, especially when it is desirable that this should be granted in the interests of the parties to the suit. He hoped the House would concur in his opinion that the bill should not become Aftere few remarks from Mr. French favorable to the bill, Mr. Meredith rose ngnm, but the Attorney-General called his attention to the rule of the 1.loi1so prevent- ing A speaker from spanking twice on the same motion, whereat Mr. Meredith called upon Mr. Clancy to move the adjournment of the debate, wnich request the member for Kent did, and by this means the member for London was permitted to reply to Mr. Mowat.
