There is a marked distinction lo be drawn between prcihibition or prevention of a trade, and the regulation or governance of it.

Where the city is given power to regulate and govern certain trades and industries, thia would seem to imply the continued exist- ence of th.it which is to be regulated or governed, so that under such a power a city could not prohibit or prevent.

The gist oif this question is that tho exciuiive privilcc:e granted iby a municipality will not bo held to grant a monopoly if the word "pi iviles^e" could be rcffrre this power as co-ming under "municipal institutions" unc'or the Brltisii North America Acit, s. 92, No. 8; and the fact that a term of the criminal la/W (nui?iancc) is used in a local Act to characterize an offence within the jurisdiction of the local legislature does not make th-9 ena.tment ultra rircf< so long as the offence is not i>er sc an indictable offence under the criminal law.

It must necessarily happen that s)me matters in their orisin, local and provinci.il may sometimes attain, i.uch dimensions as to affect the l)ody [XJlitic of the Dominion, and to justify th. Canadian Parliament in passing laws for tluMi- regulation or abolition in the interest of the Dominion. "Hut," says Lord Watson in Atln.-drncrnl for Ontario vs. Attji.-donrat for the Dominion 118901, App. Cas. at p. 361, "Rrreat caution must be ob.-.erved in distinguishing between that which is local and provincial, and therefore within the juris- diction of the provincial legislature, and that which has cea-ed to be merely local or provincial, and has become matter of national concern, in such sense as to bring it within the jurisdiction of thfi Parliament of Canada. .\n Act restricting tha right to carry weapons of offence, or their sale to young persons, within the pro- vince would be within the authority oif the provincial legi.'^lature. But traffic in arms, or the possession of them under such circum- stances as to rai.se a suspicion that they were to be used for sedi- tious purposes, or against a foreign state, are matters which might lie competently dealt with by the Parliament of the Dominion." Intcrfcnncr with strrctfi hit corporation fi: Continuing the foregoing subject, it will be noticed that several 6Ub-sGs"-tions of this section give the City power to enact by-laws regulating the working of railroad companies (notably Nos. 17, IS, 19, 98). It is ckar, however, that where an undertaking is of such a chaiacter as to be, or is declared to be, by the Dominion Parliament for the general advantage of Canada, and is not actually a purely local work, or in the icase of every railroad company whose lines cross another Dominion railroad, no direct interference on the part of a municipality with matters affecting the construction, operation and management of such undertaking can be permittel. {h'xiind vs. .]fohr,lK(4.

A. R. 65. Tt will bo noticed that the Charter enables th.e city to regulate the £peor'Ovisions in the Railway Act relating lo the operation of trains in cities. The Railway Committee may also regulate the speed of trains in the cities, they may also regulate the use of steam whistles (•.see sub-sec. 18, sec. 300 of the Ohaiter), and in this respect they have jurisdiction without the question beins" rai-ed on complaint or application by an interested party, as in tlie case of interference with streets. Unless legalized, a nuisance erected and maintained by a muni- cipal corporation may be proceeded againit the same as if erected by private persons. Dillon, § 383. Tiif-Uucs void in part. If part of a by-law be \oid. another es:^©nltial and connected part of the same by-law is also void. But it must be essential and connected to have this effect. Dillon, § 421. Thus, if a by-law, or even the same section of a by-law, contains two separate prohibitions relating to different acts, with distinct penalties for each, one of which is valid and the other void, the by-law may be enforted as to tliat portion of it which is valid.

Thus, the inspe'.tion of dairies, etc.. is purely mini.sterial work, and may be F&'"foi'med by the officials employed l)y the council for that purpose, but when a by-law provides that it shall be lawful for the health officer or veterinary inspector to enter in and upon all dairies and other buildings used by 'the vendor oif milk, and inspect the same, .md if satisfactory to him in all respects, hus should direct a license to issue to such dairyman upon payment, etc., it will be quasihed for iUcgality.

Thus, a by-law re- quiring ce'taln shops to be closed on the day immediately preceding any civic holiday, and during the days on which a provincial exhi- bition is being heM, is illegal and void. Itcgina vs. Cloutliier. 11 Man. 220. The council must determine specifically the pr;rtion of the year and the day or days of the week when the shops are to be closed, and a by-law like that in qu5stion, whi'ch excepts days by reference to untertain events, leaves thie operation of the by-law on any diay or days so uncertain that there is really no positive enact- ment requiring shops to be closed on any particular day or days, or during any particular portion of the year. Tbere might be numerous days on which a Provincial Exhibition Association would be holding exhibitions. Ih. Cases.

Exp. Robert \ City of Montrral, 188;}, vS. C. «i L. N. 148. The plaintiff was a carter, resident in St. Cunegonde, and licensed for that municipality under the provisions of article 583 (1) of the Municipa. Code, but not licensed for* the City oif Montreal. He was in the employ of the 'Montreal (Rolling Mills Company, and on the 17th of November. 1882, was engaged in carting from the worfe of the company in St. Cuinegonde to their establishment in the city, when he was stopped by a Police Officer and ask<»d to exhibit his license. The plaintiff produced his license for St. Cumegonde. The policeman threatened lo arrest him, and returned to the station, and madie his report. A warramt was issued, and the plaintiff was arrested and taken to the Seigneurs street sta- tion. The object of the Chief oif Police, as was admitted by him'self, was to make a test case, in order to obtain a decision upon the question whether carters who live in a municipa'.ity outside of the city limits, and who are licensed as carters for such municipality, are entitled to convey goods into the city without having also a license as carters from the City of Montreal. HeU on cirtiorari, that he had the right to cart into the city without a ciiy license. Bkhir vs. Citu of Montreal, S. C. 1884, 7 L. N. 79.

In an Ontario case the Court refused to quash a by-law enacted under a similar sub-section, on the ground, alleged by the applicant, that the stand interfered with the viiew of the Palls from the hotel in question; that the manure on the stand was offensive, and the noise of the hackmen a, nuisance, thes« being matters r^f muni- cipal regulation, and the aid of the Court, if successfully invoked, being an interference with the discretion of the municipal council, and especially sw as the stand in question had been there for twelve years and m.aintained under successive by-laws. Colbornc vs. Niagara Falls, 9 O. R. 168. The Court said that if the stand proved a nuisance for the reasons assigned, or others, the proper steps could be taken to abate the nuisance. lb.

To license and regulate all pi'ddlers. bvook-ajjjents, canvassers, street hawkers, cliinmey-f weeps, vendors and public criers doing business in the city; The statute allowed the corporation to tax .ill pedd'.et's or petty chapmen (ruliiui'tcurtt on marvhands ambulantx) 'bringing for saie Into the city any articles of oomiDerce, etc. Under this authority the appellants passed a by-law in nosing a tax of $10 upon all strangers and non-residents who should come into the said city to sell or offer ifor sale goods iby sample, card or other marks. The respondent, a commercial traveler, having offered goods for sale on sample, but made no sale, was condemned to pay the said tax. and distress was taken against his effects. He resisted the seizure on the grounds that the by-law was illegal. a3 being in restraint of trade, as discriminating between residents and non- residents, and as not following the terms of the statute. Held: That the conviction was right, and the by-law valid and binding. Corp. of Tliirc h'inr,s vs. Miijnr, Q. B. 1881, 8 Q. L. iR. 181; Appeal to Supreme Ct. quaslhed for want of jnrist.iction, 18 Can. L. J. 422. (Vide art. 364, 7.) It is not necessary that the delegated power to pass a by-law for a particular purpose be exercised in the express terms of the law; it is sufficient if the tei'ms ctf tihe statute be taibstantial'.y followed, and in the present case the respondent was within the fair meaning and intent of the Act as a C'limrtctir vt inarcliiind ambulant. And it makes no difference that In did not sell, but only offered for sale. lb. Discrimination in taxation, as between residents and non- residents, is only an objection when it is unjust and oppressive, which was oiot the case with the by-law in question. Nor was it a by-law in restraint of trade. Sir A. A. Dorion, C. J., and Cross, J., diss. lb. . 81.

But, it is to 'be noted, this section of the Charter does contain definitions of the terms "immoveafble" wihidh corresiJonds to the Eingii»h tenn ''realty." There are, of course, two ways oif looiking at t'his article 361. If the interpretation is to be adopted that machinery is taxiable when it is fixed) to any buiikling or land so as to form in fact part of t'he realty, such interpretation would be no more unreasonaiblo in its consequemceis than that mac^hineiy is taxaib.e when it is fixed to any building or land so as to form in laio part of the realty. In the Toronto Statuite above cited, this airabiguity has been avoided by insertina: the words "in law", before the words "ixirt of tho realty". Which, interprdtation must ibe put upoa this article of the Charter is a matter for the Courts to determine. In regard to pipes, poles, w'ires, railx, tunneJs, eftc, the language of the Charter is more explicit, and it has already been determined by our Courts that gas and water pipes form part of the realty and are taxable as real estate, tihrrhnnikc Gas and Water ('<>. vs. Cor- poralioii of >'perty is independent real esitate and taxable where it is located, Thus t' 1 M % ■ ^ ■ ' I lilli 1 1 ^ m 270 Montreal Charter 362.

All moneys which, from and after the coming into force of this act, become due to the city, for any tax, special and annual assessments or water-rates, together with interest accrued thereon and costs, are privileged debts, and rank without registration upon the proceeds of the moveable or immoveable proj)erty in respect of which such debt is due, in the order fixed and determined in arti- cles 1994 and 2009 of the Civil Code of Lower Canada; pro- vided always that such privilege shall not extend beyond the amounts due for three years and the then current year, that is to say, for the year when such claim is made, and for the three years next preceding that year; nevertheless, if the city, within three years to be counted from the tim<' at which such tax, special or annual assessment, or water- rates become due, have taken legal proceedings for the recovery thereof, either under the provisions of this act or by an ordinary action, then its privilege shall extend and apply to all taxes, special or annual assessments and water- rates, which may have become due between the institution of legal proceedings and final judgment.

See.also under Art. 299; Art. 300, subs. 84; and Art. 536 (Real Estate) To enable the City to claim property as a street, i'ue public use must be quite clear. This has been repeatedly laid down. The following is the jurisprudence on the point : A writing is not required to establish that property has been abandoned to the public for use as a public street, and the fact that the street was openly used by the public for upwards of ten years as a highway, and that the Corporation of the city exercised visible ownership by constructing a side- walk thereon and filling in a swamp more than ten years before the institu- tion of the action, is sufficifnt proof of dedication by the proprietor. Guy & City of Montreal, Q. B. 1880, 25 L. C. J. 132, 9 R. L. 284, 3 L. N. 402. Where an old market place had been converted by the City of Montreal into a public square, which the public had enjoyed without interruption from 1847 down to 1876, there was, independently of any statutory provision, an amp!e case of user on the one side, and dedication or abandonment on the other, which would constitute the square in question a public place, over which the public at large had rights to which the law would give efl'ect. Chavigny de la Chevrotih'e & Cit6 de Montreal, 10 L. N. 41, P. C. 1886. The square in question having been enjoyed by the public as a public way during more than ten years before registration under 23 Vict., cli . 72, ani more than ten years after such registration, it became a public highway under the terms of that statute, lb.

Ann 371 [Arts. 2697, 2733 Louisiana Code are identical with our Arts. 1660, 1663 C. C.]) This article does not distinguish between notarial and registered leases, and those which are not notarial or are not registered. Art. 1225 of our Civil Code provides that " private writings have no date against third parties but from the tin, e of their registration ", etc. The date may nevertlieltss be established againstthird persons by legal proof (Art. 1225), which, however, is not often available in such capes. In the case of a tenant for a year only, it is seen by this article that no indemnity is due under any circumstances, and as leases for a longer period are invariably notarial in form, the question does not possess much practical interest. But it is submitted that in view of the following author- ities the common law, as contained in Art 1225 of the Code, is not appli- cable to the case of an expropriation. (Sti' Pandectes Beiges, Vol. I, vo.

If the tenant were well advised he would, upon hearing of the intended resolution of the council regarding the expropriation and before the passing thereof, hpve his lease registered if it were by private writing and for more than one year, which would give it date as against the commissioners. (See Dalloz, 1861-1-145, note at p. 146, citing a decree of the Court of Lyon, 7 Aug. 1855.) It would appear that the registration would have no etiect after the resolution had passed, in view of the last paragraph of this article, provided that the common Jaw as expressed in Art. 1225 C. C. should be held applicable. Le locataire qui, par une clause du bail, a le droit de devenir proprietaire de I'immeuble qu'il a loue, sur paiemtnt d'une somme fixe, n'est pas prive du droit de se faire indemniser de la perte de son bail par suite de I'expro- priation de I'immeuble, pour le motif qu'avant paye une parlie du prix de vente stipule, et debourse une somme considerable sur I'immeuble, il n'est pas a presumer qu'il renoncerait a ce capital et a. ses droits centre le pro- prietaire pour demeurer simple locataire.

Such board shall consist of one of the recorders of the city (who shall be the president and convener of the said board), two of the assessors of the city to bo named by the council, and two other commissioners who shall be named by the superior court or a judge thereof upon a petition to that effect to be made by or on behalf of the city after continuous notice in two daily papers published in the English language and in two daily papers published in the French language during a period of at least two weeks. The two latter commissioners shall be appointed upon the exclusive suggestion of the party to be expropriated. There shall be no appeal from the decision of such com- missioners. Expropriation commissioners are by law experts as regards their 'powers and duties, and on receipt oif notice from a party exipro- priated, that he desires to (have a residue also expropriated, they are bound to fix a time and place for the investigation of the value of the property, and to give the proprietor notice thereof. And if tlhey fail to give sneh notice or to fix the value of the residue before they are fiincti officio, he has an action against the city for such value.

The proceedings of the said commissioners shall not be voided or set aside on account of an insufficient or incomplete description of any of the immoveables to be expropriated, or of the want of any other formality required by this charter, unless exception shall be taken thereto prior to the confirmation by the court or by a judge of the report to be made by the commissioners, and also unless it be shown that serious injustice may thereby have been caused to the party complaining.

The mayor, or acting mayor, having authority to order the firemen to attend a fire outside of the city, th-a fact that the dhief of the Montreal Fire Brigade acted in this instanice without first Obtaining the permission of the mayor or acting mayor was at most a fault towardis his employer, and did not make the city responsible for the mere act of sending the firemen beyond the city limits, in ithe absence of any evidence of fault in connection with the death of plaintiff's husiband.
