Excerpt from The Quebec Law Reports, 1879, Vol. 5: Rapports Judiciaires De QuébecIt may also be observed that the right of the House of Com mons to determine all matters relating to the election of their own members, seems to have been claimed by, and conceded to them, not because the civil courts were incompetent to deal with such matters, but because, from their nature, they were deemed more properly cognizable by the house itself which certainly was true, as long as the courts were under the control of the crown.Not having access to the earlier works on the subject, I may refer to the quotations and observations in Chambers' law of elec tions, under the head of controverted elections, as showing how such matters were viewed and disposed of, before the House of Commons established its exclusive right to try the election of its members.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
