THE SYDNEY CASE
(Received Last Night, 9.5 o'clock.) SYDNEY, February 215. Argument was concluded and judgment reserved in tho Government House case. Counsel for the Citizens' Committee argued that as the Governor was an Imperial officer, and representative of the King, the Crown had set apart land for his residence, touch a residence came within tho category of Imperial property, with wiliich jhe. colonial Government had no right to interfere. It was vested in the King in his regal capacity, and was the nation's property. As to the argument that tho Court was not constituted for reviewing the policy of the Government, Ministers must r.ot forget that they were not a law unto themselves. The sooner they understood that they must not act un lawfully the better.
