£28 PARLIAMENTS OF THE DOMINIONS [paRT 111 the practice, but it cannot be said to have been generally admitted. {t was provided by s. 31 of the Imperial Act of 1842 2 that all Bills except Bills for temporary laws declared urgent should be reserved :— (1) Altering or affecting the divisions or extent of the several districts and towns which should be represented in the Legislative Council, or establishing new and other livisions of the same ; or (2) Altering the number of the members of the Council to be chosen by the said districts and towns respectively ; or (3) Increasing the whole number of the Legislative Council ; or (4) Altering the salaries of the Governor, Superintendent? or Judges (this requirement so far as regards the Judges was repealed by 13 & 14 Vict. ¢. 59, s. 13). This section as originally enacted applied only to Bills passed by the Legislative Council of New South Wales. It was subsequently applied to the Legislative Councils of Victoria, Van Diemen’s Land, South Australia, and Western Australia, by the Act 13 & 14 Vict. c. 59, 8. 12, and it was incorporated in the letters patent of June 6, 1859 (clauses xiv and xxii), and thereby applied to Queensland. Its provisions were applied to Bills passed by the Parliament of New South Wales by s. 3 of the New South Wales Constitution Act of 1855. Apparently theprovisions applied after 1855 to both the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council of that Colony, and of course from the first to both houses in Queensland. In the case of Victoria the provisions were similarly applied by s. 3 of the Victoria Constitution Act of 1855. They were also applied to Western Australia by s. 2 (e) of the Western Australia Constitution Act of 1890. Apparently also in virtue of 8. 12 of the Act of 1850 they applied also to both houses of the Parliament of Tasmania. and in virtue of the * Jenkyns, British Rule and Jurisdiction beyond the Seas, App. ii, takes 2 different view of the position from that here adopted. But the Act of 1907 renders discussion otiose. V5 & 6 Viet. ¢. 76. ® No longer existing.
