In the course of further argument the SolicitorGeneral said there was no ulterior motive in the Order-in-Council. It was purely and simply an attempt to regulate the export of butter-fat so as to maintain an adequate stock in the country. The present method v.as chosen as the most preferable. An Order-in-Council could not be used to impose taxation as suggested by Air. Aly er s, but merely in a genuine effort to restrict exports. Judgment was reserved.
