ENFORCING JUDGMENTS. 263

Lieutenant-Governor was removed from his office on the
advice of the Canadian Privy Council. The sections of the
B. N. A. Act 1867" relating to the appointment and tenure

been adopted of making the officers of the provincial Courts
ex officio officers of the Supreme Court. By section 105 of
the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1886, it is enacted that “the
process of the Supreme Court and the process of the
Exchequer Court shall run throughout Canada and shall be
tested in the name of the Chief Justice, or in the case of a
