Chief Justice Taylor and sustain judge Killam a decision judge Dubuc a car. The full court sat Jester any he delivery of judgments there was a Large it igtidanci1. Of members of Tho bar and the Gen eral Public to hear the judgment in what is known As the school Casa. The judges on tie Bynch were the honorable the chief a Nocion or. Justice Dubuc or. Justice Killam and or. Justice Bain. Tho matter was brought a Ciofro Tho courts by Way of an application by or j. K. Barrett to quash two by Laws passed by the City of Winnipeg for the Pur pose of raising funds for school purposes. The important question Rait de was whether the Public school act passed inst year wan Cue within the Power of Tho provincial legislature to puss. The first by Law number 480, dated 1-Ith july 890, provided for levying by the amount required for the Muni Cipal and school purposes of the City of Winnipeg f a the current municipal year 1890. The second by Law number 483, dated 28ih of july 1800, amended the former by Law in boat Rel respects under these two by Laws a Rote of two per cent on the Dollar was to be collected on Tho whole assessed value of the real und personal property in the City of Winnipeg the proportion required for school purposes being four Aud one fifth Mills on the Dollar. The principal Peru Uncle stated in the original in Minomb and Chat on which i j was sought to quash both these by Laws was because by the by Law the amounts to be levied for Sci idol purposes for the protestant and Catholic schools Are United and one rate levied protestants and roman catholics alike for the whole the application came on in the first instance Bolero or. Justice Killam who delivered judgment dimm Mug the summons holding that Tho Public schools act wan not Ultra Vires that the act itself did not create a system of denominational schools or assume to compel any class to support denominational schools other than their own and that the Public schools act if enacted at the outset of the Union would not have been Ultra Vires in establishing a new system of schools and in authorizing taxation without establishing or providing for the support of separate schools for any class. Hia lordship also held that it was quite competent for the legislature to abolish the system of separate schools which it had established. I Roin this decision the applicant appealed to the full court and the matter came up for argument bet orc tie Chiel Justice or. Justice Dubuc find or. Justice gain. Of behalf of the Appellant it was claimed that the school Law in Force in this province before the passing of the Public schools act and which that act professed to repeal was still in Force. Under thai earlier Law there one Board of education which for certain jul Robon acted As a United Board but which was also divided into Tiv protes of All the protestant members and ii he Jinan Catholic consisting of the roman Catholic members. The school Din tries throughout the province were divided into protestant and Catholic districts. The protestant schools were under the control of Tho protestant Section of the Board and Tho trustees were elected by protestant ratepayers. The roman Catholic Section of the Board had entire control of the Catholic schools and their trustees Wero elected by Catholic ratepayers. There wore two sup Erintene Deutch of education one for the protest ant schools one for the Catholic. The taxes for ten support of schools in protestant school districts were levied upon protestants Alono and a roman Catholic school districts upon roman catholics alone. The Grants made by Tho legislature for educational Pur Poi a wore apportioned Between the two sections of the Board. The objection to the Public school act is that it is not one within the Power of the legislature to pass having regard to the Limi oils upon their Power of legislating on the subject of education imposed by Section 22 of tha Manitoba act passed in 1870, which Sec Tion reads As follows in and for the pro Vince the said legislature May exclusively make Laws in relation to education subject and according to the following provisions l. Nothing in any such Laws shall pre judicially affect any right or privilege with respect to denominational schools which any class of persons have by Law or practice in the province at Tho Union. 2. An Appeal shall lie to tote governor Gen Oral in Council from any act or decision of the legislature of the province or of any provincial authority affecting any right or privilege of Tho protestant or Komasu Catholic minority of the Queen s subjects in relation to education. 3. In Case any provincial Law As from time to time seems to the governor general in Council requisite for the due execution of the provisions of this Section is not made or in Case any decision of the governor general in Council on any Appeal under this Section is not duly executed by the proper provincial authority m that behalf then arid in every such Case and As far Only As the circumstances of each care require the Parlia ment of Canada May make remedial Laws for the duo execution of the provisions of this so2tion or of any decision of Che governor general under this Section. A Section similar in character a found in the British America act As Section 03. There Are differences Between the two sections and when parliament in the Manitoba act used different language it is contended that there was some elite intention in doing so. The differences Between the two sections Are the following sub Section one of Section Speaks of any right or privilege a to de nomination of schools which any class of persons have by Law in the province at the while in sub Section one of Section 22 the right or privilege is spoken of As that which any class of persons Nave by or Section 93, As has sub Section 2, n clause j relating Foley to the provinces of Ontario and Quebec which does not appear in Section 22. In sub Section 3 or Section 93, the words wherein any province a system of separate schools or i sentient schools exist by Law at the Union or is there after established by the legislature of the province Are found immediately before what appears in Section 22 As sub Section 2. Then sub Section 3 of Section 93 provides for an Appeal to the governor general in Council Only from any actor decision of any provincial authority while sub Section 2 of Section 22 says thann Appeal shall lie from any net or decision of the legislature of the province 01 of any provincial sub Section 4 of Section 93 is the same As sub Sec Tion 3 of Section 92, there being no change in the language. It was contended that the questions raised in this Case must to considered under Section 22 of Tho Manitoba act and Bhe decision of it must be governed by the provi Euins of that Section. By Section 2 of tha Manitoba act the provisions of the British North America act Are made applicable to the province of Manitoba except those parts thereof which Are in terms made or by reasonable intend ment May be held to be specify applicable to or to affect Only one or More but not the whole of the provinces now composing the Dominion except so far As the came May be varied by this act. Tho Contention is that As Section 93 does not profess to Settle the question of education Imd of separate or denominational schools for the whole Dominion but Only for the two pro Vinces of Ontario and Quebec and the ques Tion of education in the to vice of Manitoba it dealt with specially and in varied language there could a no doubt that Section was not Tho one which Muso govern the decision in this , though that Section might of fed some assistance in arriving it a True can strut Tiou to be placet on Section 22 of Tho Manitoba act. The Pho Vinci upheld. Hia lordship the chief Justice delivered Iho first judgment. After referring at length to Tho argument used on behalf of the Appellant especially that by the Manitoba it. Parliament intended to for Tho ionian catholics of Manitoba the minis rights and privileges a to separate schools which were by the British North Amei bet eecui1 j for Ontario and Quebec. Hia Lorti hip iced that it Imit be assumed Yihua when the act cime to lie passed parliament new there were Noli at that time in the territory being organised at the province of Manitoba any separate or denominational schools existing by he the intention of parliament was Plain that no future provincial legislation was to pre judicially affect Ai y right privileges As to denominational schools if any such right or privilege exists and whatever it May a had in been intended to secure to roman catholics or to any other class of persons a Mani Toba Tho same right of having Separ ate schools As in provided for in Ontario parliament would have mid so parliament had before thu express of the b. N. A. Act on the Subjict and would Moat certainly Honvo followed that ast Hud the intention been to Settle the matter As that act settled it for Oncu Iio and Quebec evid entry parliament in tested that As the of Tho older provinces had settled Tho question for themselves so it should be left for the people of this province then being formed to Beetle it for them secs. Are then Tho members of the roman Catholic Church in Manitoba u ulass of persons who had at the time of the Union by Law of practice any right or privilege with respect to denominational schools and if so Doea the Publio schools act pre judicially affect any such right or privilege Hia lordship holds that the roman catholics can be said to Hove had was Zaheda moral right. Had Tho words rights or privileges " stood Alono in the act id could not to Siirid they had any which Are pre judicially affected by the Public schools net and in the Light of Tho authorities which his lordship cited he holds roman catholics Haa no rights or privileges within the meaning of these words had they stood alone. Any right the roman catholics had at the time of the Union to establish and main Tain schools in which the distinct inti doctrines and principles of the Church shall be taught exists still. _ it is in noway interfered with by the Public schools act any right they had by custom or practice to be separate from the rest of Tho Community in the Matt i of Educa Tion they have unimpaired to Day. The pub Lic act does not prevent them from having their own denominational schools now if desire to have them. It does not require All the children of the province to attend thy schools provided for by the act j the roman Catholic Church Chin have its schools and roman Catholic parents can Send their children to these As fully and As freely a they did at the Tine of the Union. In the so respects therefore any rights or privileges the roman catholics As a of Parsone had with respect to Init Atianna schools have not been pre judicially affected. It is said however that roman catholics were not at the time of Tho Union compelled to support Publio schools and were not taxed for their sup port. True they were not bin there then no Law which required any person in the ;
