10 RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT [PART I nearly responsible government! surrendered its legislature in 1866, a surrender which was accepted and ratified by an Act of the Imperial Parliament, it being held that the grant of a constitution did not include the right to destroy that constitution. Similarly, in 1876,2 Tobago, Grenada, and St. Vincent surrendered their independent legislatures, while in the case of the Leeward Islands, Antigua, Dominica, Montserrat, St. Kitts, Nevis, and the Virgin Islands, the process of surrender which began in the middle of the nineteenth century, and which was accelerated by the federation of the group in 1871,% became complete in 1898, when the financial pressure which had been the cause of the earlier modifications of the constitutions ended in the surrender by Antigua and Dominica of the representative character of their legislatures. British Honduras also in 1870 consented to a modification of its constitution under which the legislative power was vested in a nominee Council, though in 1853 a Legislative Assembly had been formally constituted consisting of eighteen elective and three nomi- nated members, and replacing the informal gathering, first of all the people, and later of a limited number, which had governed a Colony which had originally existed merely on sufferance as a body of logwood cutters, but which eventu- ally was recognized as a full Colony. British Guiana, after long disputes with the Imperial Government, retains in financial matters a certain amount of independence, but the independence is strictly limited, for not only can the Crown legislate by Order in Council in general matters, but even in financial matters the power which is granted to the Legislature to criticize freely the estimates and generally to deal with financial questions, is seriously limited by the fact that it is only granted by an Order in Council. renewed from time to time, which renders !

Originally all the islands had bicameral legislatures, but first they were by Act reduced to unicameral, then the Assemblies turned themselves into Councils nominated by the Governor.
