Macedonia.
Mr. M. W.Slade (instructed by Mr. O. D. Thompson) appeared on behalf of the appellant and the Attorney General, Sir H. S. Berkeley (instructed by Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor) represented the respondent.
At the outset, the Attorney General took a preliminary objection to the hearing of the ap- peal, observing that he had intended to base that objection on two grounds-that the appeal The Porte's acceptance of the Reform.

He found, however, with respect of the scheme are such as will offer frequent to the second ground that although the time opportunities for dilatory tactics in the future.llowed by the Ordinance was exceeded three times over, it was occasioned by the act of the Court the act of the Registrar, for the time being, who refused to receive the documents into Court. Whether he was right or whether he was wrong it was not necessary to put before their Lordships.

The Dreyfus Affair. The Dreyfus case has entered on a fresh phase. Ex-captain Dreyfus having formally applied to the Ministry of Justice for a re- vision of the sentence, the Minister for War has made a personal examination of the secret, Dossier and reported that he has dis- covered serious forgeries and abstractions of important documents made by the Ministry of War in 1897 and 1898; this has decided the Ministry of Justice to appoint a Com- mission ro revise the case.
The Chief Justice remarked that the Vacation Ordinance provided that any time running into
the vacation did not count
that he would not press the point, and asked The Attorney General, however, intimated that the appeal be dismissed without being heard on the ground that app-liat failed to comply with the requireinents of sections 104 and tog of the Magistrates Ordinance of 1850.

Mr. Slade submitted the appellant had com- plied with the section quoted by the Attorney from the Magistrate on the question of fact it General, and said that in all cases of appeal was laid down that the appeal should be a re- hearing.
The Chief Justice-Your actual motion is wrong, you know. You cannot argue that. The question is whether we shall still hear you, I have given a formal judgment in this same Court, in a similar case,
Mr. Slade think that judgment-Im speaking from my meagre welland-was not based on this put
The l'uisne Judge:-It was.
The Chief Justice-There are other points as well 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 defec: tive. It was not in compliance with section 105 of the Magistrates' 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-hear, ant for leave to appeal because that has already been given by the Magistrate.
Mr. Slade said he quite agreed, and he was really applying for a re-hearing, because an appeal could only be by way of re-hearing and for which leave would have to be given by the Court.
The Chief Justice said he did not have to ask for leave to appeal, but to move that the Court re-hear, and on that motion they had to decide whether he showed sufficient ground for them hearing. It was wrong to come to the Court to grant it. If he did then they granted a re-
and say he asked for leave to appeal by way of
re-hearing.
Mr. Slade most thoroughly agree with Your Lordship, but as far as substance goes it is substantially right.
The Chief Justice-It is substantially wrong; you may ask us to amend.
Mr. Slade your Lordships will do that there will be no further question.
The Chief Justice-We are not going to allow these motion papers to remain on the Cort
The Attorney General I doubt the power of this Court to amend a motion.
The Puisne Judge-He is only going to
ask that it be done.
The Chief Justice said there was a difference between the two cases. In the former permis sion for leave to appeal by way of re-hearing on fact and law was asked for, whereas the pre- sent one should have been a re-hearing on fact. It was exactly what was done wrong on the former occasion,
Mr. Slade observed that they simply asked for an appeal by way of re-hearing.

The Attorney General proceeded to draw their Lordship's attention to the case of The Q.B.D. Law. Reports, 24, p. 675., which, Quern. The Justices of Glamorganshire, he said, was the leading case that the Court was bound band for

Within the moment that ten days raotion for re-hearing their right of appeal was elapse when the appellant had not filed a gone, and the Court, by amending the form of motion, six weeks or two months later could not give him back the right because, unless they applied within ten days, the right was gone, and could not be resuscitated and brought to life. Baron Huddlestone, in dealing with the point, said that in a criminal matter of appeal everything had to be performed even to the last condition. In the present case the right to appeal had gone, and he regretted he was forced to take the objection. He was bound to do'so, however; he was bound to bring within the knowledge of the Court the fact that it had Do jurisdiction, and the Court should not be pre- pared to act without jurisdiction. At one time he was very doubtful as to whether he should take the objection ; but they were not concerned with the merits of the case. The question was purely a technical point, and he submitted the Court must uphold its procedure. It could not blow hot and then blow cold.
Attorney General did not in any way turn upon Mr. Stade said that the case quoted by the the question before the Court, and only decid. ed that if an appellant did not enter into his recognizances within the time limit his power. of appeal was gone. He submitted that they the notice of motion asked for leave to appeal had power to amend, and that, in substance,
