What were the duties of the Court of Ap-
reel ? It would have to perform duties which at pre-
sent t' ere were no means of performing. The Court of
Appeal which would have to decide these great ques-
tions, would virtually have to decide, in a great men
which of tLe two great parties should have the
preconlinance. at the ensuing election. Who in that
Ecu9a was prepared to say that they would leave the

Would they leave t 3 other parties the power of ciecid-

concnnt to such a sacrifice on his own part.. If they
locked to the Irish Registration and the Scotch Re-
gistra:ion BillS, and found that the Speaker was to
have the nomi,-.ation of the Court of Appeal in both
those countries, in the same manner as in England,
then it would be evident that it was the intention
