<P> There was also a Federal Supreme Court consisting of a Chief Justice and three (later five) other Justices . The Federal Supreme Court itself was the successor to the West Indian Court of Appeal (established in 1919) and had jurisdiction over the same territories (Barbados, British Guiana, the Leeward Islands (including the British Virgin Islands), Trinidad & Tobago and the Windward Islands) in addition to Jamaica and its dependencies . Under the 1956 British Caribbean Federation Act though, the Federal Supreme Court did not have any jurisdiction over British Honduras, as the British Honduras (Court of Appeal) Act, 1881, (which allowed for appeals from the British Honduras Supreme Court to go the Privy Council or the Supreme Court of Jamaica) was repealed under it (although the arrangement for appeals to the Supreme Court of Jamaica had generally ceased in 1911 anyway). </P> <P> Sir Stanley Eugene Gomes, Chief Justice of Trinidad and Tobago, was appointed Chief Justice of the Federation in August, 1961 . </P> <P> Three member states were proposed as hosts for the capital city of the federation: Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago . Earlier in the federal negotiations the general opinion had been that the capital should be one of the smaller islands so that the capital would be in a neutral position to the larger territories and it would be able to inject some buoyancy into one of the (then) poorer economies . To this end, Grenada was "tentatively" selected as the member state to host the capital but this was abandoned after protests from some of the parties involved, and at the London Conference the smaller islands were ruled out for consideration . Within Trinidad and Tobago the first proposed site was Chaguaramas, a few miles west of Port of Spain, but the site was part of a United States naval base . In practice, Port of Spain served as the de facto federal capital for the duration of the federation's existence . </P> <P> In preparation for the first federal elections, two Federation - wide parties were organised as confederations of local political parties . Both were organised by Jamaican politicians: the West Indies Federal Labour Party by Norman Manley, and the Democratic Labour Party by Alexander Bustamante . In broad terms, the WIFLP consisted of the urban - based parties throughout the Federation, while the DLP consisted of the rural - based parties . A small third party, the Federal Democratic Party was founded in November 1957 by a group of Trinidadians, although it did not win any seats . </P>
