OHAP. XI] ' HONOURS 1303 of the Judicial Committee, in order to strengthen it in dealing with Australian appeals. The same dignity has been con- ferred upon the Chief Justice of the High Court of the Commonwealth, Sir Samuel Griffith, who was made a Privy Councillor in 1901. In the case of the Union of South Africa, the Chief Justice has been created a Baron, and the Chief Justice of Canada is usually created a member of the Privy Council, besides receiving the honour of Knighthood, or the K.C.M.G.. as Administrator of the Government. In addition to the Privy Councillorship, the highest honour which can be conferred on any British subject, the normal modes of rewarding services to the Empire in the Dominions, are those conferring membership of one of the classes of St. Michael and St. George, which was instituted originally in 1818, in connexion with services to the Crown in Malta and the Tonian Islands. The Order as now constituted ! consists of the Sovereign, who is chief of the Order, the Grand Master, who is the Prince of Wales, and Knights Grand Cross, not to exceed 100, of which number 30 are assignable for foreign services and are disposed of by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. There are 300 Knights Commanders, of which 90 are disposed of for foreign services, and 725 Com- panions, of which number 217 are assignable for foreign ser- vices.2 The entry to the Order is as a general rule through the lowest class, the Companionships, and the great majority of appointments to the high Orders conform to this rule ; in several cases, however, the possession of a C.B. or of a Knight- hood has been considered sufficient to justify the grant of a K.C.M.G., without requiring the grant of a C.M.G. The grant of a G.C.M.G. without a previous grant is extremely rare, but Sir Wilfrid Laurier was granted a G.C.M.G. in 1897, as a signal mark of the royal favour and a recognition of his great services to Canada. In addition, the creation of Knights Bachelor is not rare. Agents-General and Judges normally receive this honour, ! Under various royal warrants. There are honorary members also, foreigners so appointed.
