to be created it must be competent to deal with all even-

tualities, and even if the Attorney General's advice be preferred to me, the fact that his opinion is qualified

in regard to long cases shows that the Court will not be

competent to fulfil the functions allotted to it.

C. In connexion with the length of the visit which

the Shanghai Judge will pay to the Colony an even more serious question arises. Assuming we are to have 14 working

days no sufficient time has been allowed for the consider-

ation and preparation of judgments. This is a point almost

invariably overlooked by laymen, who seem to imagine that

judgments can be written at odd moments. As a matter of

fact it is our custom to devote the greatest possible time

to Full Court judgments in order if possible to save an

appeal to the Privy Council. A short case of-ten involves

prolonged consideration; a long case invariably. But if

there is a full list of appeals in the new Court there will

be no free days left for consultation. I think that six

appeals is the maximum number which could be got though in

one session assuming them all to be of medium length. Even

if there is only one heavy case in the list there will

never be time, so that the Shanghai Judge will be compelled

to write his judgments without the necessary consultation

with the other Judges, after his return to Shanghai. It is

the most serious blot upon the scheme that at the stage of

the proceedings when it is of the utmost importance that

the judgment should be right, the Judge who is to have the

casting vote in case of difference between the other Judges

can have no opportunity of preparing a fully considered

judgment; and no appeal judgment is fully considered if it

is not written after consultation with the other Judges.

Even if there is no difference of opinion the fact that he

must hurry away to catch his steamer will prevent him

giving the other Judges the benefit of his advice in the
