PRIVILEGES. 117 next day. In the House of Commons the Speaker may, if the necessary number of members be not present, adjourn the House as soon as he takes the chair, and is bound to do so if his attention is called to the fact that there is no quorum present and such proves to be the case after counting the House. A count out is very rare in the Canadian House of Commons? 5. PRIVILEGES. By the British North America Act, s. 18, power was Power to given to the Parliament of Canada to define the privileges, Be es immunities and powers to be enjoyed by the Senate and House of Commons, but a proviso was added, that the same should never exceed those “at the passing of this Act” enjoyed by the English House of Commons. As it was doubtful whether the words “this Act” applied to the British North America Act, 1867, or to any Dominion Act passed to define the privileges of the Houses of Parliament, it was enacted by the Imperial Act, 38 and 39 Vic. c. 88, that the privileges to be enjoyed should not exceed those enjoyed by the English House of Commons at the time of the passing of the Dominion Act. By c. 11 of the Revised Statutes of Canada the Senate Privileges and the House of Commons respectively and the members Sold, thereof are to hold and enjoy “the like privileges, immunities and powers as at the time of the passing of the British North America Act, 1867, were held, enjoyed and exercised by the Commons House of Parliament of the United Kingdom and by the members thereof so far as the same are consistent with, and not repugnant to, the said Act.” Such privileges are to be noticed judicially in all courts in Canada. The Canadian Act does not attempt to enumerate the ! Senate S. 0.,5, 6. Com. 8. 0, 1, 4. 2 Burinot, p. 248.
