preparation of the judgment. Correspondence cannot replace consultation.

D. Another serious objection to the scheme is that it must inevitably delay the hearing of urgent appeals. It often happens that it is of the utmost importance to the parties that an appeal should come on within the prescribed delays. The hearing of such appeals in the new Court would

be delayed often three or four or even five months. I take

one instance as an example There was an important banish-

ment case,

which in order to save a possible appeal to the Privy Council was heard by the Full Court in its Original Jurisdiction. As to this two questions arise: first, if the case had been heard in Original Jurisdiction no appeal

could have been heard until the next sitting of the new

Appeal Court which might be 5 months off. Secondly, the

existence of the Appeal Court will deprive litigants of the

benefit of the Original Jurisdiction of the Full Court, for

even if hearings before the existing Judges in Original

Jurisdiction are continued there will always be the appeal

to the new Appeal Court. Whichever way the question is

looked at in this case there would have been unavoidable

delays, and a question which it was of great importance to

the Government to have settled would have been left in

abeyance pending the hearing of the appeal. The recent case

under the Customs Ordinance is another instance in point.

E. Yet another objection to the scheme is the con-

gestion which will be caused in the other work of the

Court, with its consequent delays. During the two months

devoted to the sitting of the Appeal Court there will only

be one week in each month left free, which must be devoted

by the Chief Justice to clearing off arrears in Chambers

and bankruptcy, and by the Puiane Judge to working off the

arrears of summary cases. The assizes for these two months

must be postponed to the following months, and during these
