ENFORCING JUDGMENTS. 263 
Lieutenant-Governor was removed from his office on the 
advice of the Canadian Privy Council. The sections of the 
B. N. A. Act 1867" relating to the appointment and tenure 
of office by a Lieutenant-Governor, provide that the appoint- 
ment .shall be by the “Governor-General in Council,” and 
that he shall hold office during the pleasure of the 
« Governor-General” Much stress was laid on this distinct- 
ion in the Letellier case as the then Governor-General was 
adverse to acting on the advice of his Ministers to remove 
M. Letellier de St Just. The Colonial Secretary in his 
despatch pointed out, “ that other powers vested in a similar 
way by the statute in the Governor-General were clearly 
intended to be, and in practice are, exercised by and with the 
advice of his Ministers: and though the position of a 
Governor-General would entitle his views on such a subject 
as that under consideration to peculiar weight, yet Her 
Majesty's Government do not find anything in’ the circum- 
stances which would justify him in departing in this instance 
from the general rule, and declining to follow the decided 
and sustained opinion of his Ministers.” 
The enforcement of the judgments and orders of the Enforcing 
Supreme Court of Canada in the provinces, is a matter of the oa of 
greatest importance in view of the fact that the Supreme SrPreme 
Court may be called upon to decide on the legality of a 
provincial Act. It is therefore necessary that in all the 
provinces the. Supreme Court should be represented by its 
officers, but in order to avoid the cost of maintaining 
Dominion officers, as well as provincial officers, the plan has 
been adopted of making the officers of the provincial Courts 
ex officio officers of the Supreme Court. By section 105 of 
the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1886, it is enacted that “the 
process of the Supreme Court and the process of the 
Exchequer Court shall run throughout Canada and shall be 
tested in the name of the Chief Justice, or in the case of a 
L 8s. 58, 59.
