1330 THE JUDICIARY [PART VI by Act of the Legislature to alter salaries of the Governor and of the judges! The tenure was fixed in 1843 and 1849. Provision for the judges’ salaries was also included in the Civil Lists set up in the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Islands, on condition of and in anticipation of receiving the benefit of responsible government, and Nova Scotia regulated the tenure of office. A formal change, however, in practice took place when the Australian Colonies came into existence. It was then considered desirable specially to make provision for the security of the judges’ tenure of office, and so it is provided under the Constitution Act of New South Wales? as follows '— XXXVIIL. The Commissions of the present Judges of the Supreme Court of the said Colony, and of all future Judges thereof, shall be, continue and remain in full force during their good behaviour, notwithstanding the Demise of Her Majesty (whom may God long preserve) or of Her Heirs and Successors, any Law, Usage, or Practice to the contrary thereof in anywise notwithstanding. XXXIX. It shall be lawful, nevertheless, for Her Majesty, Her Heirs or Successors, to remove any such Judge or Judges npon the Address of both Houses of the Legislature of this Colony. XL. Such salaries as are settled upon the Judges for the time being by Act of Parliament or otherwise, and also such salaries as shall or may be in future granted by Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, or otherwise, to any future Judge of Judges of the said Supreme Court, shall in all time coming be paid and payable to every such Judge and Judges for the time being so long as the Patents or Commissions of them or anv of them respectively shall continue and remain in force. Similar provisions were adopted in the case of Queensland in 1859 by letters patent of June 6, 1859, which were issued under the authority of one Imperial Act and confirmed by another. and re-enacted by the Queensland Parliament in ! The Legislature in 1847 fixed by local Act (c. 114) the Civil List. There is no Civil List in the British North America Act, but the salaries were at once fixed by law ; see Revised Statutes, 1906, c. 138. ? 18 & 19 Vict. c¢. 54, sched. ; Act No. 35 of 1900, ss. 10, 11.
