cHAP, vii] COPYRIGHT LEGISLATION 1231 the Colonial Laws Validity Act, 1865, upon the proposal, but that inquiry was not answered. The situation, however, became less acute after the death of the Minister of Justice, Sir John Thompson, who had pressed the question on the constitutional ground. In 1900 a compromise was effected and the assent of the Crown was given to an amending Act passed by the Canadian Parliament (63 & 64 Vict. c. 25). This Act provides that if a book as to which there is subsisting copyright under the Canadian legislation has been first lawfully published in any part of the British Dominions other than Canada, and if it is proved to the satisfaction of the Minister of Agriculture that the owner of the copyright so subsisting and of the copyright acquired by such publication has granted a licence to reproduce in Canada an edition or editions of such book designed for sale in Canada, the Minister may prohibit the importation into Canada of any copies of the book printed elsewhere. The Act is still in force as part of c. 70. In the meantime the question of consolidating the Imperial Copyright Law became more and more pressing. An additional Convention was signed at Paris in 1896, and several attempts were made on behalf of the representatives of authors in the United Kingdom to obtain the concurrence of Canada in Imperial legislation on the subject. Mr. Hall Caine visited Canada in 1895 and Mr. Thring paid it a visit in 1899, but in neither case was any final result obtained, although the views of British authors were very fully repre- sented to the Government of Canada, which gave them a sympathetic hearing, and Mr. Mills discussed the whole question with Mr, Chamberlain in 1901. Bills to consolidate the Copyright Law were introduced into the Imperial Parliament by private members in 1898, 1899, and 1900, but none of these Bills passed. Shortly after, the question of the constitutional position of Canada with regard to copyright was raised, but not settled, in the Courts.! The [mperial Book Company of Toronto imported into Canada reprints of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, ninth edition, and t 21 T. L. R. 540. TQ
