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
