Mr. Blade agread that the Court would as- doubtedly have taken the objection because it had ever, that any objection was taken to an aneud- already been decided. He was surprised, hor ment, and proceeded to argue that the Court had power to deal with it..
The Chief Justice, in infimating that he would like to bear the Attorney-General on the point, ing a motion paper in proper order, and had felt bound to asy that, while he must insist on hav already carefully considered a careful judgment laid down in a fornfer case, in August 1902, he did not wonder the oase might have been forgot ten because the rules governing appeals from the magistrates were very different from these from the Puisne Judge, There had been a slip and it was no use discussing the matter. The pre- sent motion was for leave to amend the motion paper by striking out the words "for leave to appeal by way of rebearing," and putting to rehear." He was rather disposed prime facie to allow the amendment of the motion paper, 43 he did not wish to have a case in which a man had been sentenced to imprisonment settled one way or the other simply on the question of the exact form of the wording of the motion payer. The Attorney-General said he would like to consent, but it seemed to him that an amend meat, even if in order, would be futile unless the Court not only ordered the amendment but, disregarding the statute regalating appeals, ordered that the amended otice need not be se vod and the amendment and service taken together. Supposing the notice, which was clearly irregular and bad, was amended. What then? The respondeat would be entitled to say that the notice mast be filed and served, and when the Court heard the case its attention would be drawn to the fact that the notice for re-hearing, instead of being filed within ten days from the decision of the magistrate, so required by statute, was filed two monthe after.

Another of the articles complained of is as
Mr. Slade submitted the appellant had com- plied with the section quoted by the Attorney. General, and said that in all cason of appeal from the Magistrate on the question of fact it was laid down that the appeal should be are hearing. The Chief Justica-Your actual motion is wrong, you know, You cannot arg that The question is whether wo shall still bear you. I have given a formal judgment in this same Court, in a similar case.
Mr. Blade-I think that judgment-I am speaking from my meagre recollection-was act insed on this priut.
The Fuisne Judge-It was. The Chist Justice-There are other points on wall. The only question I have to consider I will read you what I said on that occasion: The Chief Justice said that on the question of fact the motion appeared to him to be defes tive. It was not in compliance with section 105 of the Magistratos Ordinance. In his opinion the proper form was to apply to the
Court that the Court will be moved to re-hear.' Your motion should have been a motion asking the Court to re-baar, not for leave to appeal, because that has already been given by the Magistrate.
Air. Slade said be quite agreed, and he was really applying for a re-hearing, because an appeat could only be by way of re-hearing and for which lears world have to be given by the Court. The Chief Justice said he did not have to ask for leave to appost, but to move that the Court re-bear, and on that motion they had to decide whether he showed sufficient ground for them to grant it. If he did then they granted a re-hearing. It was wrong to come to the Court and any he asked for leave to appeal by way of a re-hearing.
31. Slade-I most thoroughly agree with your Lordship, but as far as substance goca it is enbstantially right.
The Chief Justice-It is substantially wrong; you may ask as to amend.
Mr. Binde-If your Lordships will do that there will be no further question.
The Chief Justice-We are ant going to allow these motion papers to remain su the Court The Attorney-General--I doubt the power of this Court to amend a motion.
The Paine Judge-He is only going to ask that it be done,
