1220 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [PART V not repugnant to the Order in Council of 1868 for the admission of foreign reprints into Canada. This Act is still in force in Canada as chapter 70 of the Revised Statutes of 19086. The position as it stood after the passing of this Act in 1875 was that British authors possessed copyright in Canada ander the Imperial Act of 1842; that the introduction of foreign reprints into Canada was regulated under the authority of the Imperial Act of 1847 by local legislation in the Dominion, and that copyright in works produced in Canada was granted for Canada by the Canadian Act of 1875.

The enjoyment of these rights was to be subject to the accomplish- ment of the conditions and formalities prescribed by law in the country of origin of the work, and was not to exceed in the other countries the term of protection granted in the country of origin. The Act was adopted by Order in Council of November 28, 1887. This Convention was accepted by the Governments of Canada and the Australasian Colonies. The treaty was the outcome of a Conference held at Berne in 1884 and 1885, and when early in 1886 it was decided to pass a Bill to enable the Convention to be accepted by Her Majesty’s Government the Dominion Governments were
