674 THE FEDERATIONS AND THE UNION [PART IV (a) Election Petitions Thus it was held in Valin v. Langlois, by the Supreme Court of Canada, that though the power to legislate for the con- stitution of civil Courts and procedure in the provinces is exclusively provincial, the Dominion Parliament could impose on the superior Courts of the provinces the duty of trying election petitions, and the Privy Council were unwilling even to give leave to appeal ? from the decision, partly on the ground, which led to the later decision that the Privy Council will not hear electoral appeals from even the Supreme Court, viz. the disadvantage to the province and Dominion of delay in settling such a case.? (6) The Temporalities Fund In the case of the question of the temporalities fund of the Scottish Church in Canada, in part a reminiscence of the old church lands, the Quebec Legislature endeavoured to repeal an Act of the old united province, but the attempt was held void on the ground that only the Canadian Federal Legislature could effect such a repeal, and that it was an attempt to alter substantially the class of persons interested in the corporate funds, and not merely to limit the operations of a corporation carrying on business in the province.t On the other hand, the Alberta Legislature could regulate the medical practice in Alberta, though the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the North-West Territories had not been dissolved under s. 16 (3) of the Alberta Act (4 & 5 Edw. VIL. c. 3).° : (¢) The Liguor Traffic The liquor question has given rise to particularly intricate troubles, and in this case the matter has been rendered more difficult by the angry feelings liquor questions have * 38.
