Sanderson, C.J.@mdashSince yesterday I have caused enquiries to be made with regard to the practice affecting this matter and I find that the

well-known practice is that an application for revision must be made within 60 days from the date of the order complained of. The Court has

allowed an addition, to the 60 days, of the time which is necessary for obtaining copies. This is not a question of limitation but a rule of the practice

of the Court to the effect that an application for revision must be made within a reasonable time. It is not an inflexible rule and in exceptional

circumstances the rule might be departed from. In this case the date of making over the copy to the Applicant was the 1st day of June, so that

there was ample time to make this motion on one of the usual motion days, namely, Monday, the 5th of June or Monday, the 12th of June. Yet this

motion was not made until the 19th of June when it was out of time. In these circumstances, we are of opinion that this application should not be

entertained.

Walmsley J.

2. Concurred.
