1598 PREROGATIVE INSTRUMENTS shen such person or persons as we may appoint, under Our Sign Manual and Signet, shall, during Our pleasure, administer the Govern- ment of the State, first taking the Oaths hereinbefore directed to be taken by the Governor, and in the manner herein prescribed ; which being done, We do hereby authorize, empower, and command Our Lieutenant-Governor, and every other such Administrator as aforesaid, todo and execute during Our pleasure all things that belong to the Office of Governor according to the tenor of these Our Letters Patent, and according to Our Instructions as aforesaid, and thelawsof the State. XIII In the event of the Governor having occasion to be tem- porarily absent for a short period from the Seat of Government or from the State, except for the purpose of administering the Government of Our Commonwealth of Australia! he may in every such case, by an Instrument under the Public Seal of the State, constitute and appoint Our Lieutenant-Governor, or if there be no such Officer or if such Officer be absent or unable to act, then any other person, to be his Deputy during such temporary absence, and in that capacity to exercise, perform, and execute for and on behalf of the Governor during such absence, but no longer, all such powers and authorities vested in the Governor, by these Our Letters Patent, as shall in and by such Instrument be specified and limited, but no others. Pro- vided, nevertheless, that by the appointment of a Deputy as aforesaid, the power and authority of the Governor shall not be abridged, altered, or in any away affected, otherwise than We may at any time hereafter think proper to direct.? * The words in italics apply to New South Wales only, and were added by letters patent of December 1, 1909, because it was known that the Governor would have occasion to administer the Government of the Commonwealth. * This form is adopted in the case of Victoria and Tasmania, and also in Western Australia, except that the clauses are XIII and X1V, and XIII begins, ‘In the event of the office of the Governor becoming vacant, or of the Governor being incapable, or of his departure from the state.” In the case of Queensland and South Australia the form is different, viz. :— ‘X. Inthe event of the death, incapacity, or removal of the Governor, or of his leparture from the State, all the powers and authorities herein granted to him shall (subject to the proviso and condition hereinafter contained) be vested during Our pleasure in Our Lieutenant-Governor of the State, or if there be no such Officer in the State, then in such person or persons as may be appointed by Us under Our Sign Manual and Signet to administer the Government of the State. And We do hereby (subject as aforesaid) give and grant all such powers and authorities to such Lieutenant-Governor or person or persons accordingly. Provided always and subject to this condition that before any such powers or authorities shall vest in such Lieutenant-Governor, or such other person or per- sons, he or they shall have taken the Oaths hereinafter directed to be taken by the Governor of the State, and in the manner by these Letters Patent provided. XI. And whereas it may be necessary or expedient that the Governor should absent himself occasionally for a short period from the seat of Government or from the State, whereby the affairs of the State might be exposed to detriment if there were no person on the spot authorized to exercise the powers and authorities by these Our Letters Patent granted to the Governor or some of them : Now We do hereby authorize and empower the Governor, in every such case as occasion shall require, by an Instrument under the Public Seal of the State, to constitute and appoint Our Lieutenant-Governor for the time
