ouAp. 111] THE GOVERNOR AND MINISTERS 153 V. And We do further direct and enjoin that Our said Governor do attend and preside at the meetings of Our said Executive Council, unless when prevented by some necessary or reasonable cause ; and that in his absence such Member as may be appointed by him in that behalf, or, in the absence of any such Member, the Senior Member of the said Executive Council actually present shall preside at all such meetings, the seniority of the Members of the Council being regulated according to the order of their respective appoint- ments as Members of Our said Council. VI. And we do further direct and enjoin that a full and exact Journal or Minute be kept of all the deliberations, acts, proceedings, votes, and resolutions of Our said Executive Council, and that at each meeting of the said Council the Minutes of the last meeting be read over, confirmed, or amended, as the case may require, before proceeding to the despatch of any other business. And We do further direct that twice in each year a full transcript of all the Minutes of the said Council for the preceding half year be transmitted to Us through one of our Principal Secretaries of State. VII. And We do further direct and enjoin that, in the execution of the powers and authorities committed to Our said Governor by Our said Letters Patent, he shall in all cases consult with Our said Executive Council, excepting only in cases which may be of such a nature that, in his judgment, Our service would sustain material prejudice by consulting Our Council thereupon, or when the matters to be decided shall be too unimportant to require their advice, or too urgent to admit of their advice being given by the time within which it may be necessary for him to act in respect of any such matters. Provided that in all such urgent cases he shall subsequently, and at the earliest practicable period, communicate to the said Executive Council the measures which he may so have adopted, with the reasons thereof. VIII. And We do authorize Our said Governor, in his discretion, and if it shall in any case appear right, to act in the exercise of the power committed to him by Our said Letters Patent, in opposition to the advice which may in any such cases be given to him by the Members of Our said Executive Council. Provided, nevertheless, that in every such case he shall fully report to Us by the first convenient opportunity such proceeding with the grounds and reasons thereof. The terms of the Newfoundland instructions are decidedly
