SYDNEY GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
LORD DENMAN'S EVICTION. THE COURT'S VERDICT. By Cable—Press Association —Copyright. Received 19, 8.10 p.m. Sydney, June 19. The High Court delivered judgment in the appeal against the State Court's decision in connection with the alleged eviction of the Governor-General from Government House. The Court unanimously allowed the appeal, thus confirming Denman's eviction. Justice Barton, in delivering judgment, said that when New South Wales, in 1855, received her constitution, and with it full control of waste lands, it would be marvellous, indeed, if she were refused control of Government House land. Clearly it was part of the lands taken over by the self-governing community, and if it were assumed that the original nature of the Governor's oflice meant Imperial control of land transition to constitutional government, by parity reason it meant colonial control. The Labor Party is jubilant at the Court's decision. The Hon. A. C. Carmichael, Minister of Public Instruction, proposes, provided there is no appeal to the Privy Council, to proceed at once with a scheme for utilising the house and grounds for public benefit, including the erection of a conservatorium of music.
