Mr. GIRARD said the question which be bad now to put was i continua tion of‘b.tbe fint.“l;vwa as blhvn;’- W hy Act ictoria, ter passed with a view to mhna:slfloul tics and saving expense with respect to those lands, had not been put into execuâ€" tion? He had asked the same question last year. Immense services were exâ€" hon. .\Ir.'db‘t)'l"l"b?od to assure his hon. friend that the Minister of the Inâ€" wrior, who had charge of this duty, was most anxiodus to it out as fairly and &s i Lcrally as pzae- Difficulties, howâ€" gver, which it was unnecessary for him to question, as to when patents would be issued, he was informed that they would be issued as speedily as g:uibk. In reference to the second, which touched on the rights of cutting hay, they also were in course of settlement ; he believed many had been already mgmndeod all except thiése which required itional informstion. and . fuller surveys. ‘There was.no intention or desire on the part of the Government to delay ; but it was ne cessary to proceed with due caution where there were so many different claims. With regard. to the third question, the grants of land to the chilaren of haif preeds, he was advised that they could not be prepared tll certain claims had been adjudicated :fin. They had been for some time in hands of the Minister of Justice, and the distribution of lands pected ftrom the m‘.fin of that law. is had been told it would be put in operation immediately, very }ihlytdu' his arrival in Manitoba, but he ‘had gone and hulcomeb.ckgin,nndyot nothâ€" ing had been done, he would like to know whut was the insurmountable obâ€" stacle that existed 1 ow but which did not appear to exist then. sr.

Mr. SCOTT could not speak as to thoMcuhrcmdlnded to by the hon. gentieman, but he had no doubt that had the hon. gentleman called the attention of the department to it the matter would have been investigated. With regard to the genéral question he would say again that no unnecessary delay had been ex ercised by the department in carrying out libonfiy‘nd generously all the proâ€" visions in regard to the Northâ€" west. The patents were going out as . rapidly as possible, Where cases > were disâ€" puted, where laws overlapped eack other, . some delay must necessarily atise, but. their interests were safe so long as the Government held, the ‘fee of the land ; but it was not possible to carry theâ€" work far'nnlwiththon&i:lit which the han., representatives of l!mmoe i and no doubt was desirable. _ | PRINTING OF BILLS.

Mr. FOURNIER moved for leave to introduce a biil which had been anâ€" | nounced in the Speech from the Throne â€"an Act mpoctin_?hthe establishment of nSn:{)remeCourt. e remarks of the hon. fen eman were vgfi imperfectly heard. Te said that a bill on this subject had been announced on four occasions. The bon leader of the Opmt‘i‘on had in past years alluded to the difficulties that had presented themselves in the preparaâ€" tion of such a bill, and stated that he had given his best attention to the prepara tion of a measure of that kind. Had it not been that such an amount of valuable labour had been bestowed upon the pre paration of a Supreme Court bill, he would have felt diffident in undertaking the task. Some features of the present bill bore on their face relationshi to _ the _ features of _ the &fi: of the hon. member * for K.l.ztcu. ’The very first difficulty mo‘th. wnhh ':; reparation, was in wri Lfil. ltwunbill:?‘vm.m of i ianin‘s con eepant ve a %.locdhmuov{n&ugtofldu\‘l awe ? t was one portant «q@estions which holndbouoanpou«lw;flht in the preparation of the measurg, and he felt bound to say that the opinions of â€"men whom _ he Efly es teemed, differed _ on point. He understood the Federal Parliament was thus given the power to establish a Court of Appdhu‘h.l:rudiehon It ap peared, moreover, power was given :oo:ldhn Mpdlmpmdnfl:h!on ve ap jurisdi cases of habeas of extradition, and in vided for the m'dmd exâ€" chequer.

It was proposed to give the juiges of the Supreme Court the same rank as the Chief Justice of the Provinces, thoCbiofJulfiooofotoCourthvin‘ rank and precedence over all judges.

Clause 7 extended this . reference to NEW BILLS INTRODUOED THEB TIMES : OTTAWL WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 24 18g75 when these powers were in dispute. No one dgbws;howenr, ti:.ttho undar th?h Constitution it was not wer of | this Parliament to givo'jufldmw 1 such a ‘Court to try constitutional | questions. As a matter of fact, the only | mwhiohoould booonfemduvfthb 1 properly was to 3 a from the decisions of Courts orm jurisâ€" diction. A stipendiary magistrate had as good m right, according to the Constituâ€" tion, to try constitutional questions as w:qidt}xo judges of this Court, but it was obviously , nevertheless, t.rialof-uufiouunhould be in the hands of . the :?ut tribunal in the land. Acknowledging . his inability, then, to prepare & clause which could conâ€" stitutionally confer the power of trym such cases upon the Court directly, he resorted to the oxpedient of providing mm zu"ououm?!," o cisions given by the Supreme Court wv&?i have their t in the cases mentioned, as fitted for réference to it.. It had been surgested that the Imperial authorities should be asked to amend our constituâ€" tion in this respect, but even with their assistance, the chm%e could not be made unless consented to by all the Provinces interested. Ho felt pretty sure that all the Provinces would not consent, for he found, as an example, that a petition had been filed from New ];nmwiozrpmmt'fi:‘ against the measure introduced by his right hon. friend the member for Kingston, and if the Imgerial ‘authorities were appealed to under such circumstances, tfiey would unquestionably reply that ga compact could not be altered without the consent of all the parties thereto. The | constitution could only be altered with the consent of the local a.uthorit.ies‘):nd he thought the simgler way would be to make the adoption of these clauses of the Act a matter of choice with the Local Governments. ‘If they adopted it, they would reap its advantages, and if they did not, they . would occupy exactly the same Eomwn as they did at present. He then read over the clauses of the Bill bearing upon the subâ€" jfict,nndooncludod by hoping that the | House would give it its most careful conâ€" sideration, irrespective of party. ___ _ > BECECEONDET urwywuvu CC ‘,l °~ Right Hon.
