It also laid down the follow'ng rules regarding reservation of Bills :— L.—(1) There shall be reserved, for the signification of His Majesty’s pleasure thereon, every Bill passed by the Legis- lature of any State forming part of the Commonwealth of Australia which— (a) alters the constitution of the Legislature of the State or of either House thereof ; or (b) affects the salary of the Governor of the State ; or (¢) is, under any Act of the Legislature of the State passed after the passing of this Act, or under any provision contained in the Bill itself, required to be reserved ; but, save as aforesaid, it shall not be necessary to so reserve any Bill passed by any such Legislature - 2 Provided that— (a) nothing in this Act shall affect the reservation of Bills in accordance with any instructions given to the Governor of the State by His Majesty ; and it shall not be necessary to reserve a Bill for a temporary law which the Governor expressly declares necessary to be assented to forthwith by reason of some public and pressing emergency ; and it shall not be necessary to reserve any Bill if the Governor declares that he withholds His Majesty’s assent, or if he has previously received instruc- tions from His Majesty to assent and does assent accordingly to the Bill. (2) For the purposes of thissection a Bill shall not be treated as a Bill altering the constitution of the Legislature of a State or of either House thereof by reason only that the Bill— (a) creates, alters, or affects any province, district, or town, or division of a province, district, or town, which returns one or more members to either House of the Legislature ; or (b) fixes or alters the number of members to be elected for any such province, district, or town, or division of a province, district, or town : or 7 Edw.
