OHAP. III] JUDICIAL APPEALS 1375 Sir Samuel Griffith, Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia, who became Privy Councillors in 1904 and 1901 respectively. Sir Samuel Griffith has never attended to hear an appeal, owing to his judicial duties in Australia. On the death of Sir H. Strong, Sir E. Barton, Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia, became a member, but he has not attended to hear an appeal. In 1911, on Sir H. Taschereau’s death, Sir C. Fitzpatrick became a member. As normally constituted the Committee contains the Lord Chancellor, four Lords of Appeal in ordinary, two persons, viz. Lord Haldane (formerly Lord James of Hereford), and Mr. Ameer Ali (formerly Sir Andrew Scoble), who are ap- pointed under the express powers given in s. 1 of the Act of 1833; until 1911 Sir Arthur Wilson, who was appointed under the Act of 1887 as an ex-judge in the East Indies, and who drew an allowance of £800! a year; and any Colonial judge under the Act of 1895 who may at intervals be able to attend. The functions of the Judicial Committee are not confined to hearing appeals from the Colonial Courts ; they hear also appeals from India, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and the Consular Courts; the Judicial Committee under Acts of 1840, 1874 and 1892 hears appeals in ecclesiastical cases, and is also an Appeal Court in maritime and prize cases, from schemes framed under the Endowed Schools Acts, 1869 and 1873, and in miscellaneous other questions, as, for example, cases under the Union of Benefices Act, 1860, applications for compulsory licences under the Copyright Act, 1842, applications under the Patents Acts of 1883 and 1902, appeals under the Colonial Courts of Admiralty Act of 1890, and appeals with regard to the appointing of legislative councillors in New Zealand?
