(A true copy) " C. GRANT, (Signed) "D. GRIPNHILL, Clerk of the Crown." Acting Secretary to Government." Judgment of the Chief Justice Sir EDWARD WEST. Before I consider the proposed regulation, I shall state what I conceive to he the duty of the Court on these occasions where re gulations are passed by the local Government, and by them trans mitted to the Court for registration under the statue. By the 13th Geo. 111. c. 63, see. 36, it is enacted, " That it shall and may be lawful for the Governor-General and Council of the said United Company's settlement at Fort-Wil liam, at Bengal, from time to time, to make and issue such rules, ordinances and regulations, for the good order and ciril govern ment of the said United Company's settlement at Fort-William aforesaid, and other factories and places subordinate, or to be sub ordinate thereto, as shall be deemed just and reasonable, (such rules, ordinances, and regulations, not being repugnant to the limes of the realm,) and to set, impose, inflict, and levy reasonable flues and forfeitures for the breach or non-observance of such rules, ordinances, and regulations ; but, nevertheless, the same, or any of them, shall not be valid, or of any force or effect, until the same stall le said. Suprerol Court of Jt ew charter esta hlished, wi . the said Com-t, which registry shall not be made until the expiration of 20 days after the same shall be openly published, and a copy thereof affix& in some conspicuous pact of the Court-house, or place wh ere the said Supreme Court shall beleld ; and from and immediate!) after such registry as aforesaid, the same shall be good and valid in law." This provision is extended to the settlement of Bombay by the 47 Geo. 111. Bess. 2, C. 68, sec. 1. It is to be observed, that this provision requires, in the first place, that such regulations are not to be repugnant to the laws of the realm ; and 2d, That they shall not be valid, or of any force or effect, un til the same shall be duly registered and published in the &Trains Court, with the consent and approbation of the said Court. Upon this provision, various constructions hare been put. First, it has been stated, on the authority of a late learned Judge of the Supreme Court of Madras, who presided in. thi Re corder's C o u r t h ere f or a s h ort per i od, Sir George Cooper, .9‘ that the Court, except in cases where some gross and glaring: nfringe !pent of the liberty of the subject is apparent on the face °fahe rule, have nothing to do with the legality of it, but that the Government is to decide on the fitness, justice, and reasonahlenessof it, and that it is for them to see and take care that it is not repugnant to the laws of the realm." This supposed judgment of the Learned Judge was publish ed in the Government papers of the 12th April, 11323,. and is as follows: " The power of framing rules, ordinances, and regulations, is placed in the Governor-General, and Goverriors in Council re spectively, at each Presidency. They, the Governors eforesaid, are to decide on the fitness, justice, and reasonableness of the same, and it is for them to see and take care that s u ch rules, ordinances, and regulations, are not repugnant to the laws of the realm. That the terms, consent and approbation, referred to publication and registry only, and were used because it would be too 'ranch to suppose that any thing could be hung up and .registered in that Court without its permission. That such publiratiow and regis try did not give them any additional weight in p'-i a t of law, ko if the Government made regulations which were repugnant to the laws of the realm, it was perfectly competent to that Court to de cide against their legality in any issue there depending; in feet, that the publication and registry in the Court of Recorder was nothing more than a declaration of the Court's knowledge of their existence, but did not prevent its af f ording relief when called upon to do so afterwards, should the circumstances of the case seem to warrant an interference. That the Court had, no doubt, the power of refusing to publish and register, but that it would only do so when some gross and glaring infringement of the liberty of the sub ject, arbitrary imprisonment, for instance, or something immoral, was apparent on the face of the rule sent for registry." In the first place, were such the true construction of theelause, what is the meaning ef the term approbation ? In the next place, the learned Judge. is made to say, " that such publication and re gistry did not give the regulations any additional weight in point of law ; for if the Government made regulations which were repugnant to the laws of the realm, it was perfectly competent to the Court to deeide against their legality in any issue there depending." But what says the statttitt itself ? " that the same shall not be valid, or of any force or effect s until they shall be registered ; and that from and imritediately after such registry as aforesaid, the came shall be good and valid in law." Besides, could any thing be more mischievosv than that regulations should be passed and registered whirls the °facets of the Government and others are to enforce, and which, were an action to be brought against them for such en • forcement, might be declared to be illegal, and, consequently, no justification to them ? It is clear that the proper constriction of the act is, that the Court is to take care, in the first instance, before the mks are registered, that they art not repugnant to the laws of the realm, end that, as soon as registered,' they shall be good and valid in law, unless disallowed by his as provided by the act. 2d. It may be, and indeed has been said, that under thief provision of the Legislature, the Court has only a judicial, but not a legislative power,—that it is to consider the legality, but not the expediency, of regulations proposed by the Government. In the first place, however, such conetrnction is opposed to the words of the statute, " that the regulations, shall not be valid till they shall be duly registered with the consent and approbation of the Court;" the word " approbation " is unrestricted and unqua lified, and I do not understand how we can restrict and qualify the term by construing it to mean approbation merely in point of law. Had the legislature intended this, how easy would it have been to have said such regulations not to be registered by the Court in cast: they shall consider them to be repugnant to the laws of the realm. In the next place, in all the proceedings upon the appeal of Mr, 'Boclyingharn, to the King in Council, against the regulation passed at Calcutta, it is taken for granted that the Court arc bound to consider, and did actually consider, ito expediency. Thus, a part of the second reason advanced by the Court of Directors of the East India Company in support of the regulation is as follows : " That the restrictions imposed by the rule, ordinance, and regu lation, which is the subject of appeal, were called for by the state of affairs in the settlements of Bengal, and were adapted to the exigency of the case; and that they were not injurious to his Ma jesty's subjects in the said settlement, is to he inferred from the concurrent judgment of the Supreme Government of the East India Company, and of the Supreme Court of his Majesty." The Court of Directors therefore assume, that the Supreme Comt did exercise their judgment upon the expediency and necessity of the regulation, and did consider that it was called for by the state of affairs and the exigency of the cage. Mr. Serjeant Bosanquet also, in his argument as Counsel for the Court of Directors, takes it tbr granted that the Court did exercise such judgment. "It is," says he,* "for your Lordships' wisdom to determine whether in this case your Lordships do or do not agree in thinking that necessary and expedient which the local Government has found to be necessary, which the Court established by his Majesty for protecting the rights of his sect jests, and which is not the Court of the East India Company, has thought expedient, and has adopted and registered in these regulations r' Nor did the Counsel on the opposite side, who impugned the regulation, ever contend that the Court had no right to exercise a judgment as to its expediency; to them, insisting, as they did, that the preamble to the regulation which recited the existing evils bad not been proved, it would have been a strong argument, that the Supreme Court had exercised no judgment upon that poin t. They, however, did not tou c h u p on suc h argumen t, and evidently be cause it was untenable. In many cases, too, it is impossible to separate the question of legality from that of expediency. In many eases, expedienc' may make that not repugnant to the laws of the realm, which, without such expediency, would clearly be so repugnant ; I would instance the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. Would any one con tend that such suspension would not be most unconstitutional, and in that sense of the term, most repugnant to the laws of the realm, if pass e d un d er c i rcumstances which did not-render it ex pedient, or ra th er necessary? Would, on the other band, any one contend th a t i t were repugnant to law, in ease of such expe diency or necessity? Th e same o b servat i ons may b e ma d e w ith respect to the many Acts of. Parliament which the Legislature has Ire land. Al! of th em wou ld b e unconstitutional, and, iii that sense, a the realm, unless rendered necessary by repugnant to the laws said that pronounced to be rend ere d ne c essary by the disturbed state of Ire the state of the country. Indeed , it may be , e very law , every liberty, i t b e called l l o e r d thefor by y il n l em u' . a s p ity in o d r it e i x d ped ual leo is oy but there re pugnant is this distinction, that many laws ar e ev id ent l y expe dient upon the face of them, and from the known p r i nc i p l es and propensities of human n a tu re , an d requ i re no s p ec ifi c proof that they arc so; other s ma y no t appear to- be expedient up on t h e face of them, and f rom th e k nown pr i nc i p l es an d propensities of lm m res t t o ric la ti :C . u o n f l t e l s ie s facts and c i rcumstances . an nature, but may be shown to be so by evidence of particular It is clear, th ere f o r e , that the Court have a r i g h t, or rather, are bound, to cons id e r the expediency of prop ose d regulations ; that tile Court has, by the statute, legislative, and not simply judicial f unct i ons t o perform, and that even if it were not so, if the Court were bound to exercise a power simply ju ;:cial, in many cases the legality depends so entirely upon the expediency, that the Court could not direst itself of the duty of considering it. I shall now proceed to consider the regulation is question. It must be premised, however, that the Preen at this presidency is at present placed on precisely the same footing as in England. In March, 1825, a regulation was passed by the Governor and Council (upon a suggestion &Ail the Court, mad e the prece din g September, of its n ecess i ty, on account of th e cont i nue d rn i sre p r e sentations of the Court's p rocee di ngs b y one of the newspapers), which was mer e l y a copy oft( afford i thenit to c ta 3 0 7 ,e ' a i i ) - I , c i l b 1 3 i G an eo d . ant i those the object of whi c h Wa3 who might be a ggr i eved by anonymous libellers, the means of disco- venlig the pr opr i etors, editors, and printers of newspapers, and other publications.
