(Per Press Association—Copyright).
(Received December 18, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, December 17. In the case, of the Attorney-General of .the Commonwealth versus the Colonial Sugar Company, on appeal, Lord Haldane, 1 in his judgment, stated that the Royal Commissions' Acts were ultra vires so far as they purported to enable a Royal Commission to compel answers' and to produce documents "It would be sufficient," continued the judgment, '<to make a declaration to that effect, with liberty to apply to the High Court to enforce it by, injunction or otherwise. Their Lordships therefore advise his Majesty that such declaration should be made, and that such liberty to apply should be granted, and that the order of the High Court should be varied accordingly. As respondents have substantially succeeded, appellants must pay the costs of this appeal."
