DEFINITION OF “QUOTA” **Quota” is defined in the Quotas Law as meaning the quantity of textile goods or "any class or classes of textile goods manufactured in any in- dividual foreign country which may be imported during any period in accordance with a pro- clamation made by the Governor under section 3 of the law.
"Regulated textiles" are deaned as meaning any textile goods, and any class or classes of textile goods manufactured in a foreign country. in respect of which any quota, has been fixed by the Governor under section 3.
*Mr. Justice Sherlock said that a Writ of Mandamus being a high prerogative writ only issues in the discretion of the Court and will not be granted when there is an- other effective remedy by process
of law. Th's want of another effective remedy is essential to the grant of the Writ. He was not satisfied that in this case no other adequate remedy than a Writ of Mandamus was available and cited previous cases in sup- port of this.
"In view of what I have sald," continued Mr. Justice Sherlock, "it's with reluctance that I address myself to the question "Are these goods regulated textiles?" I feel that it is not very satis- factory that we should decide this on the somewhat meagre evidence before us but as the parties wish
