I LAW LORDS JUDGE AMAZING VARIETY OF APPEAL CASES Continued from Page 1 provinces-can agree on a new distribution of legislative power between themselves, or some clarification of the existing distribution, It Is most unlikely they will meet with any opposition from White hall or Westminster and this should satisfy them." Such a move now Is under consideration the calling of a convention of Dominion, provincial and other interests in Canada to draft amendments to the constitution. Meanwhile the judicial committee . continues in an unobtrusive corner of a weather-beaten sandstone building on famous Downing Street. The room where the judges sit has none of the atmosphere of a court room. It is large, book-lined, has open grate fires and the judges sit at desks, not at a bench. Something of the Judicial committee's unique character as a tribunal is evidenced by Its reference to Itself is a "board" instead of an apptfal ?ourt in the decisions. Although It ls undoubtedly the premier Judicial tribunal in the world, It is the only court of high authority in the Empire where the iudges appear In ordinary street dress. Lawyers are expected, how-3ver, to wear wig and gown and conduct -themselves with severest iecorum. Canadian lawyers don't wear wigs at home and must buy or rent them when they appear before the committee. Said a Canadian lawyer: "Surprising ls the readiness with which the firm renting wigs can fit you. They merely ask you your hat size and Immediately supply you with a wig that fits well. Rental is 15 shillings whether you use the wig a day or month. The firm has been In existence since the reign of William ind Mary."

Appeal to King Every apral in addressed to the King's .Most Excellent Maj esty in Council." The judicial committee pronounces no decrees but confines itself to "humblv advising his Majesty" on what course should be adopted in dis posing of the appeals which have been referred to it. The report of the committer. furthermore does not' disclose whether the advice represents the unanimous opinion of the commit, tee or of the majority. This an cient rule, originally prescribed in wn sayst "When the busincsf is carried according to the most voices, no jlublication is after wards made, by any man, how the particular voices and opinions went. An attendance of three nrivv councillors constitutes a comnvl tee quorum although the number varies according to the ramifi- cations and importance of the ap peal. The list of persons Qualified to sil in the hearing of appeals has been expanded down through tht years and now includes: Lord? of Appeal in Ordinary, present and past Lord residents of the Council and Lords Chancellor. all members of the Privy Council who hold or have held high judicial office in England, Scotland Northern Ireland or in the Dom inions, privy councillors who hold or have held the office of.

Chief Justice of tie Supreme Court; Sir Charles Fib. patrick, 81, whose appointment in 1908 ranks him' as the senior member in point of service and Sir William Mulock, 93, Canada's "grand old man," the veteran of 'he Privy Council. Previous to 1933, when Rt. Hon. F. A. Anglin was Chief 'ustiee of the Supreme Court of Canada, he and the then Mr Justice Duff alternated sitting on the judicial committeer one going to England each summer. Since Mr. Anglin's death, Sir Ly man has been the only member of the Supreme Court of Canada or. ho committee. He has sat on it s often as he could arrange to be in England. He was there last 'ear and contemplates visiting '.ngland again this summer. The functions of the committee are not confined to appeals ori rir.ating outside the United King dom. Its duty is also to advi?e upon any matter which his Ma jesty may think fit to submit to it. Among such questions were the reference in 1927 to determine Newfoundland's territorial claims to Labrador, Another important question in thh category related to the composition of the arbi tration commission for the settle ment of the boundary between northern and southern Ireland.
