Clause 17.

C.

Substitute "Judge" for "Court" in lines 1 and 4.

marks in margin of the

Chief Justice.

Add at the end of the clause the following:-

"Such application shall be made in

Chambers to a single Judge of the

Supreme Court unless the Judge directs

it to be heard in Court on a report

from the Registrar that all the

conditions have been complied with,

and the costs of the attendance on

such application of any party other

than the appellant or his solicitor

shall not be allowed unless the Judge

certify there was reasonable ground

for such attendance."

far as my experience

1008

I cannot see the

e of two applications

o the Court, because this

means two briefs to counsel, and only adds to the costs. The Rules how-

ever contemplate conditional and final leave to

appeal. I therefore put this forward only as a suggestion for consideration.

The amendment is inserted to meet the wishes

of the Chief Justice in paragraph 3 of his

letter of the 3rd instant. The application

in Chambers would naturally lie to one

Judge. The rule as amended will not, I think,

conflict with the definition of "Court" in

clause 1.
