982 THE FEDERATIONS AND THE UNION [PART IV on the ignorance of the members of the Judicial Committee of Roman-Dutch law will be obviated. It is, however, a question which is not quite clear how far the words of the Bill are adequate to produce this effect, as the prerogative is not very explicitly barred except perhaps as regards the Supreme Court itself. The judges of the Supreme Court will in future be appointed by the Governor-General in Council, and will have salaries which cannot be reduced during their tenure of office. They can only be removed from office by the Governor-General in Council on an address from both Houses of Parliament in the same session praying for such removal on the ground of misbehaviour or incapacity. The existing judges of the Colonial Courts are all continued in their posts in the corresponding divisions of the Supreme Court, the Chief Justices becoming Judges President but retaining their titles for the rest of their term of office, and the pensions and salaries to which at present they are entitled are ensured to them. Lord de Villiers became Chief Justice of South Africa. In the case of an occurrence of a vacancy in the divisions of the Supreme Court, the Governor-General in Council, if he considers that the number of judges may advantageously be reduced, may refrain from filling up the vacancy pending the decision of Parliament. No doubt in due course advantage will be taken of this provision to reduce the numbers of judges in South Africa. The appellate division shall be composed of the full five members in the case of an appeal from any Court composed of two or more judges; if the appeal is from a decision of a single judge, three members of the division will be a quorum, and no judge shall take part in the hearing of an appeal from a decision of his own. The Court will normally sit in Bloem- fontein, but may from time to time, for the convenience of suitors, hold its sittings at other places in the Union. This provision (s. 109) is a concession to the Orange River Colony, which of course will be the seat of neither the administrative nor the legislative capital of the Union.
