THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE
REFERENCE BY THE GOVERNOR. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Friday. Speaking at the law students' dinner last night, Lord Islington said that of the questions before the Imperial Conference the one most looked forward to by the legal profession was whether it would be possible to develop to a further egctent a final court of appeal for the Empire. The judicial committee of the House of Lords was now the final court of appeal and probably the finest tribunal in the world from a judicial point of view. It had brought before it an increasing accumulation of questions on international and intercolonial matters, and as the Empire developed these questions must increase, so he trusted the deliberations of the conference would end in the discovery of some practical road to the extension of the scope of the present tribunal, making it a court of appeal thoroughly representative of the Empire as a whole to which all questions on Imperial matters could be referred for, final decision. This would constitute a substantial step towards the goal of organic Imperial unity which all desired to see furthered.
