"This series of reports is in a sense a continuation, but with a decided expansion, of the plan of the English ruling cases, as it takes the cases from the British empire, instead of from England only, but it continues the English ruling cases in the sense that it will include the most important cases from the English courts decided since that series terminated."--Pref.
Excerpt from British Ruling Cases, Vol. 2: From Courts of Great Britain, Canada, Ireland, Australia and Other Divisions of the British Empire, Extensively Annotated Privy Council. The jurisdiction of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council rests on the royal prerogative, by virtue of which the King has the right to review any decision of any court in his transmarine dominions, criminal or civil. As new constituted, it consists of the President of the Council, the Lord Keeper or First Lord Commissioner of the Great Seal of England, and all privy councilors who have held these offices or hold or have held high judicial omce, that is to say, who have been Lords of Appeal in Ordinary, Judges of the Supreme Courts of England or Ireland or of the Court of Session in Scotland. The sovereign may also appoint two other privy councilors to be members of the committee. Privy councilors who are or have been judges of the Supreme Court of Canada or the superior court of any province of Canada, or the superior court in the seven Australian colonies, or of Cape Colony, or Natal, or of Newfoundland, are also members of the Judicial Committee. This tribunal has appellate jurisdiction in admiralty cases and over appeals from courts outside the United Kingdom, except so far as the prerogative in this behalf has been surrendered. Its decisions, although in the form of a recommendation or report to the King in Council, are not subject to review.

An Empire on Trial is the first book to explore the issue of interracial homicide in the British Empire during its height – examining these incidents and the prosecution of such cases in each of seven colonies scattered throughout the world. It uncovers and analyzes the tensions of empire that underlay British rule and delves into how the problem of maintaining a liberal empire manifested itself in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The work demonstrates the importance of the processes of criminal justice to the history of the empire and the advantage of a trans-territorial approach to understanding the complexities and nuances of its workings. An Empire on Trial is of interest to those concerned with race, empire, or criminal justice, and to historians of modern Britain or of colonial Australia, India, Kenya, or the Caribbean. Political and post-colonial theorists writing on liberalism and empire, or race and empire, will also find this book invaluable.
