CHAP. III] JUDICIAL APPEALS 1373 the value of $10,000 (in place of $4,000 as at present), and cases of special importance as affecting the liberty of the subject. Mr. Foy, however, in the course of discussion, ad- mitted that it was not possible legally to limit by provincial law appeals to the Supreme Court, and declared that a change of practice by the Privy Council rendered it unnecessary to limit appeals thither,and his Act passed without the proposed limitations. In any case the Act would have been invalid if the Judicial Committee had chosen to hear appeals by special leave, or to regulate by Order in Council under the Act of 1844! the right to appeal.? Ontario indeed has of late had no cause to complain of the Privy Council. § 3.
