CHAP. II] IMPERIAL CO-OPERATION 1481 advise as to the training, education, and war organization of the military forces of the Crown in every part of the Empire. It was also agreed that the Committee of Imperial Defence should undertake to advise on any local questions in regard bo which expert assistance was deemed desirable, and when- sver so desired a representative of any Colony which might ask for advice should be summoned to attend as a member of the Committee during the discussion of the questions raised. The question of judicial appeals * was discussed at great length, but it was not found possible by the Imperial Govern- ment to accept the resolution of the Commonwealth of Australia in favour of the establishment of one Imperial Court of Appeal. It was agreed, however, that the practice and procedure of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council should be laid down in the form of a code of rules and regula- tions, and simplified so as to control expense and minimize delays, while as far as possible the conditions on which appeals were permitted should be made equal, and some portion of His Majesty's prerogative to grant special leave bo appeal in cases where there existed noright of appeal should be delegated to the Courts of the Colonies. It was also agreed, on the motion of General Botha, that when Colonies were federated or a Court of Appeal was established for a group of Colonies geographically connected, it should be competent for the Legislatures of those Colonies to abolish any existing right of appeal from the Supreme Courts to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council ; that the decision of such a Court of Appeal should be final subject to the right of the Court to grant leave to appeal in such cases as might be laid down by the statutes under which it was established, but that the right to appeal by special leave from the Privy Council should not be curtailed.® See Parl. Pap., Cd. 3523, pp. 94-120, 123-8. Minor questions as to arms and ammunition, exchange of officers. cadets, military schools, and rifle clubs were discussed. ¢ Ibid., pp. 200-26. 3 This was embodied in the South Africa Act, 1909 (9 Edw. VII. c. 9). See Part VI, chap. iii; Parl. Pap., Cd. 5745, p. 230.
