374 THE FEDERATIONS AND THE UNION [PART IV General in Australia, and Mr. Fisher, explained that the matter would again be brought before the people at referenda, probably at the next general election, which would secure party feeling and a larger vote, and that the Government would not of course resign, as it had a majority of about 12 out of 36 members of the Senate, and commanded the sup- port of about 44 of the 75 members of the House of Repre- sentatives. Yet the majority against its proposals was about four times the majority for the party in the elections of 1910. The view held by the advocates of the reform was in the main that people had not realized the need of such large reforms, and required education. Stress must also be laid on the complications of the referenda, the active exertions of so many able politicians against it, and their unwonted unanimity, and the lack of party enthusiasm in voting on an issue separately from the voting for persons. It is now contemplated to solve, if possible, the question by a voluntary xrant of power by the states. § 6. JUDICIARY! The powers conferred upon the High Court of the Common- wealth by the Constitution are as follows, their exercise being regulated by the Judiciary Act, 1903-10, defining and explain- ing the general terms of the grant in the Constitution. The High Court is the outcome of a long struggle ; as early as L849 the tentative scheme of federation contemplated a High Court, but the Act of 1885 did not provide for one. In 1870 the question was discussed as the outcome of a Commission in Victoria, but the Imperial Government was not assured of the need of any change? Naturally it appeared at the Sydney Convention of 1891, and was adopted in 1900. Cf. Clark, op. cit., pp. 153-84, who draws a distinction between the position of the High Court as the appeal court from the states, a jurisdiction which the Parliament cannot confer on any other court, and as the depositary of the judicial power, which subject to the terms of the Con- stitution can be divided among several courts ; see for the appellate federal jurisdiction, Ak Yick v. Lehmert, 2 C. L. R. 573. * Quick and Garran, op. cit, pp. 735 seq. For the objections of Mr. Justice Richmond of New Zealand and Mr. Justice Clark’s reply, see Parl. Pap., C. 6466, pp. cxliv seq.
