THE PRIVY COUNCIL
DOMINIONS’ AFFAIRS DETENTION CF BIGHT TO APPEAL Beceived March 6. 11.30 p.m. LONDON, March 6. Professor J. H. Morgan, professor of Constitutional Law at University College, London, lecturing on the judical committee of the Privy Council, described the committee’s reports as “the t easury of the Empire’s common law.” The committee, being non-parochial, treated each Dominion as a law unto itself, he declared. The day had gone by when the Imperial Government would oppose the restriction or even abolition of an appeal when a Dominion so demanded. For example, Australia’s limitation of appeal was a constitutional interpretation. Personally he was convinced that a plebiscite of the Empire would overwhelmingly favour tho retention of appeals.
