The aetion was brought by Mr. William Henry Boardmcu against the Grand Trunk Railway Company af Chonda and the Canadian National Railway Company.

Mr. Gavin Simmonds, K.C., for the railway company, said that the application was made to strike out the statement of claim on the ground that it disclosed no reasonable causa of action, that it was frivolous and vexatious, and an abuse of the pro- cess of the court.

The two milway companies were incorporated by special Acts of the Canadian Legislature, and Mr. Boardman was seeking a declara- tion which involved that two Acts of the Canadian Eegislature. to which the Royal Assent was given, were ultra vires, that two Orders in Council made by the Governor- General were witra vizes and illegal, and that two argeements which the Crown, by the Canadian Minister of Rail ways and Finance, was a party; were invalid and of no effect.

Counsel submitted that it was quite impossible for such an action to be maintained, and that the judge had no jurisdiction to say that an Act of the Canadian Parliament was ultra vires. There was, he added, a Canadian action raising exactly those questions, and the writ in that cast was issued, first.

Sir Patrick 'Hastings, K.C., argued for Mr. Boardman that assuming the facta in the statement of claim were capable of proof, there was no question that Mr. Boardman had a substantial cause

The tendency to regard the disease an the least important of the epidemic disorders probably dates from the time in last century when mortality from scarlet fever and diphtheria completely overshadowed the other fevers." At the present time measles and whooping cough have wvertaken the diminishing death rates from the other two dis orders, and it is of great significance that mortality is at its highest in the early years of life. According to Dr. Stocks, the fatality rate in Battersea is 3 per cent, before one year of age, and only 2 per 100 be-- tween 5 and 10 years.

"Nine thousand Sea Scouts, and 144 troops of disabled Scouts is in- deed a wonderini, record

upon which His Majesty heartily con- gratulates you, You must feel that your vision and inspiration" in bringing into being this great na- tional movement have been reward- ed."

The Prince, who is Chief Scout of Wales, wrote:-"I am very glad indeed to see from the annual re- port just published that in spite of difficult times during the past year the Boy Scout movement in the Empire can show an increase of nearly 48,000. It is also extremely encouraging to note how scouting is spreading in the schools of this country."

Vitality of the Movement,

In the absence of Lord Baden- Powall, through. indisposition, bisi Address was read by Lord Hamp- ton, Chief Commissioner.

He said that the vitality of the movement had once more been de monstrated by the progress made both in numbers and efficiency. An increase of 44,000 was shown in the British Scouts, which brought their total to 853,208, out of the 2,130,000 in the world.

It follows that "getting it over " when young has many disadyan- tages, and da with measles it is hetter to adopt measures which will portping the disease until school age." Among such measures the practice of school exclusion has to bo considered and the evidence seems to point to this being a decided dis- advantago, for the excluded children At no time in our history," he (ie., contacts) spend their time said, has there been so great a playing with the pre-school children need for such a movement as ours of the locality and spread the to help and save the average, and disease amongst those least able to, stand an attack.

In the circumstances he had no other course open but to eny that the action must be dismissed.

Leave to appeal was given The largest amount involved in an action was £138,000,000, in a cast heard in 1030. Mr. Leon Franklin, of Maida Vale, W sued the West minster Bank for this sum which, it was alleged, was based on a dis honoured draft for 9,000,000,000 German marks drown, by the bank in September 1923, and of which fr, Franklin claimed to be holder for value.

Mr. Justice Mackinnon described the claim as absurd. Mr. Franklin took the case to the Court of Appeal, but his appel was dismissed.
