The session will be resumed to- ight at 7:30 o'clock. . following resolution, moved by Dr. Ryan and seconded by Dr. Xing, was carried by a unanimous vote : "The members of the Ontario Modi eal council, with sincere regret, part with their esteemed registrar, the Hon. Dr. Pyne, after a faithful and continuous service of well nigh thirty: years. : "These years have witnessed the formative period of medical educa- tion in the province of Ontario, and in the Dominion of Canada.

Hon. Dr. Pyne thanked the members of council for their kind words of ination and referred to the work the council during the twenty-eight years he has been identified with it. it was work that he enjoyed and he tted very much to have to have to give it up. The progress of the council, he said, might be compa cd with the progress of the Dominion of Canada, which had just celebrated its fortieth birthday, There had been matked progress, and while retiring froth the position of registzar, he would have fond recollections of the time spent in the service of the coun- A' number of applications, asking for registration, were ref mittee.

A very remarkable utterance from a lawyer, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing to the support of Warden Platt's po- sition; because juries are an institu- tion under the common law, and most likely had their origin in the reign of Alired: the system of compurgation at that time is briefly described thus: "If any one accuse a king's thane of homicide, if he dare to purge himsolf, let him do it along with twelve king's thanes. If anyone accuse a thane of less rank than a king's thane, let - him purge himself along with eleven of equals and one king's thane." Now as no statutory law existed for hundreds of years from King Alfred's time, and the grand jury had rights and duties under the common law, it is clear that those rights and duties still exist, as to federal institutions as well as local, for all prisons in the Saxon period must have been lo- cal. James Mill, an eminent authori- ty, declares, "that one of the first institutions of the government is an agency to give effect to the rules of custom: 'and that custom when its rules are thus administered and en- forced by the sovereign is the highest rudimentary form of law." Yet our Warden Platt and « Mr. Aylesworth would deprive. us of that custom. The Hon. Minister goés on to say "that a Frontenac jury has no more right to inspect the penitentiary than has a jury from any other county, as the penitentiary is not a local insti- tution, and the federal institutions were not in the sme need of inspec- tion as were local county institutions, inasmuch as the former were consthnt- ly under trained government inspec- tion." A very plausible argument, but to our fallible mind quite untenable, local, were designed primarily to pen- the crime alone determining whether the prisoner be kept in a county, pro- vincial, or - federal prison, and all come under the surveillance of grand jurics whenever the couxt so directs, situated, but a grand jury from any county in the Dominion would have the same right of inspection = if the court deemed such inspection neces- sary and directed accordingly.' And it is my opinion that Warden Platt's re- fusal to allow such inspection is not less insulting to the grand jury, than it is contemptuous to the bench. If Warden Platt had nothing to conceal why did he refuse a thorough and prover inspection by the grand jury? And if in their indiscretion they re- port matters which are neither practi- cable or desirable, that is their af- fair; but the fact that his conduct be- ing bolstered by the honorable minis- ter of justice in arguing about "cus- tom and trained government inspec- tors," does not satisfy the publig that there is not something "rotten in Denmark." Since trained govern ment inspectors -exist, all the greater need for grand jury inspection. If the honorable minister considers the vari ous acts of parliament are not explicit and that grand juries have no rights but under the common law, he may agree that the following authorities are of some importance and worthy of recognition. Baron Alderson held it to ho "a very. unwise: thing to abolish the common law principles of decision which can accommodate themselves to the varying circumstances of the time"; and Lord Mansfield igggeported to have entertained a similar opinion of its merits holding "that the com- mon law which works itself pure Ly rules. drawn from the fountains of justice is superior to acts of parlia- ment" (see Atkyn's reports, Vol. I, 32, 33.) . . . . Another author says: "The statute and common law to- gether compose the law of the state comprising the whole body of rules by which it is governed and comsti- tuted'; and 'where the statute is sil- ent, the common law governs" . . . It must necessarily follow that all unwritten laws or customs existing prior to statutory law were known as common law and constituted within themselves a code of rule for the guidance of the people. Therefore, if our federal government is the proper authority for the enactment of erimin- al law, it has fic poWer to, alter or change the common or constitutional law, which it would be doing by sup- porting Warden Platt's position. The powers. and duties of a grand jury are seldom questioned in' British: ter- ritory. The English and American En- cyclopedia of law says "'that even though the executive may have power to pardon one accused of crime before he has been indicted, yet the execu- tive has no power to interfere with the action of the grand jury. Surely, therefore, a body of men in- vested with such authority have vew- er to enter any prison and investigate whether its management is efficient or otherwise, and if our lawyer.governors refuse us this inalienable right the sooner they make way for abler men the better for the country at large.
