cuar. 111] THE GOVERNOR AND MINISTERS 1565 of New South Wales, dated October 29, 1900, illustrates the form normal in such case :— III. The Governor shall forthwith communicate these Our instructions to the Executive Council, and likewise all such others from time to time as he shall find convenient for Our service to impart to them. IV. The Governor shall attend and preside at the meetings of the Executive Council, unless prevented by some necessary or reasonable cause, and in his absence such member as may be appointed by him in that behalf, or in the absence of such member the senior member of the Executive Council actually present shall preside ; the seniority of the members of the said Council being regulated according to the order of their respective appointments as members thereof. V. The Executive Council shall not proceed to the despatch of business unless duly summoned by authority of the Governor nor unless two members at the least (exclusive of the Governor or of the member presiding) be present and assisting throughout the whole of the meetings at which any such business shall be despatched. VI. In the execution of the powers and authorities vested in him, the Governor shall be guided by the advice of the Executive Council, but if in any case he shall see sufficient cause to dissent from the opinion of the said Council, he may act in the exercise of his said powers and authorities in opposition to the opinion of the Council, reporting the matter to Us without delay, with the reasons for his so acting. In any such case it shall be competent to any Member of the said Council to require that there be recorded upon the Minutes of the Council the grounds of any advice or opinion that he may give upon the question. In the case of Canada there is no provision for any Executive Council in the letters patent, and the instructions are all but silent on the topic: they contain indeed since 1878 only the sapient clause :—- And we do require Qur said Governor-Géneral to com- municate forthwith to the Privy Council for Our said Dominion these Our instructions, and likewise all such others from time to time as he shall find convenient for Our service to be imparted to them. The same mode has been followed in the case of the Commonwealth in 1900, and the Union of South Africa in 1910. One of the powers which are conferred upon the Governor
