§ MR. MACLEANI beg to ask Mr. Attorney General what has been the usual nature of appeals from Australia to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, whether they have had for the most part a public or a private character, and whether these appeals have raised many questions of constitutional or Imperial importance.
§ SIR ROBERT FINLAYI am informed that among the appeals from Australia there have been a considerable number of cases of a public character. Before expressing any opinion as to whether they have raised many questions of constitutional or Imperial importance, it would be necessary to examine the Reports in more detail than has been possible since notice of my hon. friend's question was given, but I shall be happy to communicate with him on the subject if he desires more detailed information.
