ADDENDA 1621 must first be exhausted ; the Government then proceeded with an ordinary Supply Bill and the Governor granted a dissolution with a view to the putting in operation, if the Government were supported by the people, of the deadlock clause of Act No. 959. The Govern- ment had only 21 supporters in the Assembly out of 40. Pace 653. A province is not a colony or dependency in the language of a will (in re Maryon Wilson's estate, C. A., Times, Nov. 9, 1911). The boundaries of Manitoba are now to be largely extended and the subsidy increased (Manitoba Free Press, November 28, 1911) —140,000 square miles is said to be the amount. Concessions will no doubt be made to Alberta and Saskatchewan in respect of their lands. on which topic cf. Bramley Moore, Canada and her Colonies. Pack 653. The result of the Canadian census of 1911, which gives a population of above 7,190,000, is expected to be to reduce the representation of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick by two merabers cach, of Prince Edward Island by one, of Ontario by four, and to increase the representation of Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, and British Columbia by five members apiece, a net increase of eleven members. Similarly, under the census in Australia, Victoria will lose another member, while Queensland gains one. Pack 871: The Seamen’s Compensation Bill has been passed in 1911 in an amended form to remedy the unconstitutionality of the first Act. Page 873. Bee Parl. Pap., 1911, No. 2. Only 53-31 obtained ballot papers as against 62-80 at the general election in 1910. Pace 1021. The new edition of the Colonial Regulations (1911) forbids the acceptance of presents by Governors even on leaving office. Page 1029, n. 2. In The King v. Lovitt the Privy Council (Novem- ber 3, 1911) reversed the judgement of the Supreme Court, asserting that the provincial Act had succeeded in taxing as situate within the province a deposit by a person who died domiciled in Nova Scotia in the New Brunswick branch of a bank, though the deposit could have been paid in London. Pasar 1047. For a different view, cf. McGrath, Newfoundland in 1911, pp. 52-60. Pace 1077, n. 2. The decision of the Privy Council in Musgrove v. Chun Teeong Toy is adversely criticized by Harrison Moore, Act of State, pp. 95-9. But the point of the decision, which deliberately declined to discuss the question of act of state, is that an alien excluded has no right of action, not that the Crown has the right to exclude, and presumably it is a relic of the old rule than an alien could not bring an action at all (Co. Lit., 128 a, 129 a), which has in most matters died out. The power is not rarely acted on in South Africa, e.g. Raner’s case, 14 C. T. R. 24 ; and several cases in 1911. Nor does the case of Cook v. Sprigg ([1899] A. C. 572) in any way
