CHAP. III] THE CONFERENCE OF 1911 15629 could not be done without an amendment of the Constitution, and he was not prepared for an Australian judge to be sent home to sit on the Judicial Committee. Mr. Malan? emphasized the fact that under the South Africa Act, 1909, appeals lay only by special leave, and that accordingly appeals would be very rare, and the Government of the Union would not be prepared under these circumstances to send a man home to sit on the committee. Sir Edward Morris 2 stated that Newfoundland was perfectly satisfied with matters as they stood, and that they could not go to the expense of providing a judge. The Conference accordingly accepted a resolution substi- buted by Mr. Fisher for his original resolution, to the effect that, having heard the views of the Lord Chancellor and Lord Haldane, the Conference recommended that the pro- posals of the Government of the United Kingdom should be embodied in a communication to be sent as soon as possible to the Dominion Governments, and Mr. Asquith laid stress on the offer made by the Lord Chancellor that cases from the Dominions should be grouped together so as to permit of their all being dealt with with the assistance of a judge from the Dominion itself under the Act of 1908, an arrange- ment which he thought would meet the desire of the Govern- ment of New Zealand that a New Zealand judge should sit in cases concerning Maori lands. The memorandum? circulated as the outcome of the discussion contained nothing new. The Imperial Court of Appeal will consist of two divisions, the House of Lords, and the Privy Council. It will consist of practically the same members varied to suit the cases they have to deal with, and it will receive additional strength through the addition of two judges. The decisions of the Judicial Committee will as hitherto be issued as one decision, but dissenting judges may intimate the grounds of dissent. + Cd. 5745, pp. 231, 232, 245. * Ibid., p. 239. * See Parl. Pap., Cd. 5746-1, p. 236 ; for the Bill, see House of Lords Debates, ix. 1130-2. It is condemned by Mr. Glynn, Commonwealth Parliamentary Debates, 1911, p. 178.
