He, bowovr, had no doubt that within a fe'w' years ninety-nine out of every hundred cfte>e3 that now went to the Privy Council would remain in Australia, and the High Court would practically be a final Court of Appeal. It was intended to draw tbe best Judges from all parts of Australia to form tbe Federal bench. He men<ioned that at the present time the aggregate annual cxpendi* tore for the administration of justice in all its branches was £1,750,000.
