222 THE DOMINION JUDICATURE. 
By the Canadian Insolvency Act! it was enacted, that the 
court to which an appeal could be made under the Act 
should be final, no saving clause being inserted regarding the 
prerogative but on the ground that the rights of the Crown 
could be taken away only by express words, and as there 
were no words in the Act that could be held to derogate 
from the prerogative of the Crown, the Judicial Committee 
held that Her Majesty's right to allow appeals as of grace in 
insolvency matters was not affected? 
There is however no prerogative right in the Crown to 
review the judgment of a Supreme Court in Canada, upon an 
election petition. The subject-matter of the jurisdiction dele- 
gated to courts in regard to elections to a Legislative Assembly 
is of a special nature, and the transfer of such jurisdiction from 
the Legislature itself to a court of law does not imply that 
the final decision should belong to the Queen in Council®. 
In advising Her Majesty whether to allow an appeal or 
not, the Judicial Committee will have regard not merely to 
the amount in dispute but to the importance of the questions 
involved
