should be final and not subject to the Appeal as of right to 
Her Majesty in Council allowed by Art. 1178 of the Code of 
Civil Procedure.” 
The following provincial Acts have been held valid :— 
An Act of N. B. providing that as against the assignee 
of the grantor under any law relating to insolvency, a bill of 
sale should take effect only from the time of filing thereof”. 
An Act of New Brunswick abolishing imprisonment for 
debt as respects a person not shewn to be a trader or subject 
to the Dominion Insolvent Act”. 
An Act of N. B. for the imprisonment of a person making 
default in payment of a sum due on a judgment in certain

11. TraDE AND COMMERCE. 
To the Dominion are assigned 
The regulation of Trade and Commerce. s. 91 (2). 
Bankruptcy and Insolvency. s. 91 (21). 
The words ‘regulation of trade and commerce’ in their 
unlimited sense are sufficiently wide if uncontrolled by the 
context and other parts of the Act, to include every regula- 
tion of trade ranging from political arrangements in regard 
to trade with foreign Governments requiring the sanction of 
Parliament down to minute rules for regulating particular 
trades. But a consideration of the Act shews that the words 
were not used in this unlimited sense. In the first place the 
collocation of No. 2 with classes of subjects of national and 
general concern affords an indication that regulations re- 
lating to general trade and commerce were in the mind 
of the Legislature when conferring this power on the 
Trade and 
Com-~ 
merce. 
1 Tt was also held that the Statute did not affect the right of Her Majesty 
to allow an appeal as of Grace.
