self and that the order of banishment had failed to set out the gounds of banhbment with enfficient pari'cu'arity and that the order was therefore bid. The argument was hoard, by the Full Court. The only garst'on befora the Court was the legalitý⋅ of custody and the legality could caly to lested by referring to tha Ordina:cs nuder which the order was made. It was stated on behalf of the, Crown, that the Gavirnor-in-Council having been eatified that the prisoner was not a maioral-born British tub) ct and his ́presoˇce in the Colony. not being dermed, desirable, he ordered to leave the Cofony within two days of the order. Their Lordships were strongly of opinion that there was no clan for Rebars corpus and that the rule should therefore be d'smissed. The Ordluspce gave the misi ab soluto power to the Governor-ia Council. Il did not give an opportunity to the priszger to defend himself. It did not regaira, ihn Gever- | ons Length. nor le-Cancil to state on what grounds the order was mids. It did not even gĺve an op- parnaity to the defendset, to show he was not the man.

Obviously, thai was impossible. If the order was found to be wrong, the Secretary of State could † correct the acting of the Geveromsot but that Court had nothing to do with the matter. It was, not within the province of the Court to find out wbythe Ex-culive Council bad acted as they did. The whole of Counsel's argument had brea couched in terms u ́ed in criminal cases but that matter bad nothing to do with it. The Couil was mot provided with machinery to ex ercise their powers in a case of that kind. It could not correct the procedure adopted by Ordinance.
