sea possessions during tlN year 1910 amount
ed to no less than s5Oo,oOOo coo.
Oi course. no minister of the Crown
"ou'd ever venture to advise King George
10 enforce these laws. as far as the colo
MES are concerned. since any such sten
would inevitably involve the secession OF
the colony concerned from English rule,
besides creating widespread ruin IN the
United Kingdom itself, where so much
capital Is invested by the people there In
australian and South African mining prop
erty. Moreover, the pretensions would un-
doubtedly set forth that the statutes con-
cerning the crowns rights to all gold and
silver could only affect England's de-
pendencies at the time when they were
enacted-that Is to say. Ireland, the Chan
mel Islands and a portion of France. but
not colonies Of the very existence Of which
no one was aware in England at the time
Whether this contention would hold good in
law is another matter.
