He alio contended there was no contract with Edwards, and, if so, it was simply for a Commissionersbip. In concluding, he thought it was for- the benefit of thft defendant, thebench, and the colony, that these proceedings have been taken, and the ca9e would be and ought to be a warning to the Executive not to attempt to deal with the high offi-- c of Jud'-e hip of the Supreme Court by making it an addendum to a Native Commissionership and not to appoint a judge without frankly consulting Parliament. The Court has reserved judgement. It is understood the * case 'will go to the Privy Council, whateyer the result.
