PRIVY COUNCIL
IRISH OBJECTIONS. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, March 4. In the House of .Lords there was a' sharp debate on the new Land Bill of the Irish Free State. Following Unionist objections that the right of appeal to the Privy Council was menaced, Lord Cave pointed out that the Free State Government had taken umbrage at the Privy Council allowing appeals in three recent cases. The Free State was claiming that the practice followed with South African appeals, should be adopted. Lord Cave explained that no such undertaking had been given. He said he refused to believe it was the intention of the Free State to depart from its obligations. The Privy Council was not obsolete or obsolescent, but its jurisdiction was readily accepted by great courts in the Empire, such as the Supreme Court of Canada and the High Court of Australia. After Lords Haldane, Carson and Morris had spoken, the matter dropped.
