ouAP. I] PRINCIPLES OF IMPERIAL CONTROL 1031 African Colonies in 1905. In 1869, on the other hand, the Imperial Government merely pointed out that certain sections of an Act contained a provision ultra vires as tending to affix a criminal character to acts done on the high seas, and in the next year the Act was amended accordingly to obviate this error.2 An Act of 1873 which purported to give power to the committees of the House of Commons and the Senate to examine in certain cases witnesses on oath was disallowed on the ground that it was repugnant to the provisions of the British North America Act regarding the privileges of the Parliament of Canada,® but an Imperial Act of 1875 (c. 38) secured the grant of further powers, and vali- dated ex post facto an Act of 1868 (c. 24) which had been assented to, but was certainly invalid, as it gave the Senate the power of administering oaths to the witnesses at the bar, a power not enjoyed in 1867 by the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. The Oaths Act was accordingly re- enacted and assented to in 1876.4 In 1872 a Canada Copy- right Bill® was not allowed to take effect as it was ultra vires in view of Imperial legislation, and so the Act of 1889 (c. 29) never became effective.® On the other hand the Act of 1875 was validated by an Imperial Act.? - Canada Sess.
