SYDNEY GOVERNMENT HOUSE.

LORD DENMAN’S EVICTION. THE COURT’S VERDICT. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] Sydney, Juno 19. Tho High Court delivered judgment in tho appeal against the State Court’s decision in connection with tho alleged eviction of tho Governor-General from Government House. The Court unanimously allowed the appeal, tlius confirming Lord Denman’s eviction. Justice Barton, in delivering judgment, said that when New South Wales, in 1855, received her constitution, and with it full control of waste lands, it would be marvellous, indeed, if she were refused control of Government House land. Clearly it was part of the lands taken over by tiro self-governing community, and if it were assumed that the original nature of the Governor’s office meant Imperial control L of land transition to constitutional government, by party reason it meant colonial control. , The Labor Party is jubilant at the Court’s decision; The Hon. A. C. Carmichael, Minis- . tet of Public Instruction, proposes, ( provided there is no appeal to the „ Privy Council, to proceed at once with a scheme for utilising tho house and J grounds for public benefit, including i the erection of a oonsorvatorium ol music. 11
