(1) Controversies between the Dominion of Canada and 
such province. 
“(2) Controversies between such province and any other 
province or provinces which may have passed a like Act. 
“(8) Suits, actions, or proceedings in which the parties 
thereto by their pleadings shall have raised the question 
of the validity of an Act of the Parliament of Canada when 
in the opinion of the judge of the court in which the same 
are pending such question is material, 
“(4) Suits, actions, or proceedings in which the parties 
thereto by their pleadings shall have raised the question of 
the validity of an act of the Legislature of such province 
when in the opinion of the judge of the court in which the 
same are pending such question is material, then this section 
of the Act is to be in force in the class of cases in respect of 
which such Act may have been passed.”
