PART II. THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNMENT CHAPTER 1 THE GOVERNOR § 1. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE (GOVERNOR Tue Governor of a Colony or State and the Governor- General of a Federation or Union are alike appointed by the Imperial Government, technically by the King on the advice of the appropriate minister, the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Of course, in the case of the great appointments. those to Canada, the Commonwealth, and New Zealand, and to the Union of South Africa, it is clear that the Prime Minister is entitled to be consulted, while on questions of his personal representation in a great Dominion of the Crown it is certain that the Sovereign must be expected to take a personal interest, and it was believed that the Duke of Connaught’s selection as Governor-General of Canada was an act of King Edward’s. But in addition to the home authorities there has gradually been evolved the practice of Informally consulting the Government of the Dominion or State in question. The innovation was one against which Mr. Higinbotham with all his heart protested ; he considered, in his zeal for the separation of the Imperial and the Colonial spheres, that it was never right to allow of any such pro- ceeding ag a consultation beforehand with the Government, however informal! The matter came to a head in 1888, when the Government of Queensland asked that they should be given an opportunity of learning the name of the officer !
