96 THE PROVINCIAL JUDICATURE. 
England on the 4th March, 1837, as well as the same juris- 
diction as that possessed by the Court of Chancery on the 
10th June, 1857, to administer justice in all cases where 
there existed no adequate remedy. 
Various other powers are possessed by the High Court, 
as English legislation is followed in so far as the same is 
appropriate to the wants of the Province. 
Gout 7 The Court of Appeal consists of a Chief Justice and three 
Justices. The jurisdiction of the Court extends to hearing 
Appeals, 
1. from the Queen’s Bench, Common Pleas and 
Chancery Divisions of the High Court. 
2. from the Division Court. 
8. from County Courts where the case is heard before 
a judge without a jury? 
Appeals from the Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court 
of Canada respecting property and civil rights are not allowed 
without special leave, unless the title to real estate or the 
validity of a patent is affected, or ‘unless the matter in 
controversy exceeds the value of $1000, or unless the 
question relates to the taking of an annual or quarterly 
rent, customary or quarterly duty, or a like demand of a 
general nature affecting future rights®. 
Appeals from the Court of Appeal to Her Majesty in 
Council are prohibited except when the matter in contro- 
versy exceeds $4000 in value, or relates to the taking of a 
rent or any like demand affecting future rights®. This how- 
ever does not affect the right of the Judicial Committee of 
the Privy Council to sustain any appeal as a matter of 
grace.
