Under the Constitution Ordinance, 1852, and amending Acts, No. 1 of 1872 and No. 14 of 1893, the Legislative Council of the Cape of Good Hope consisted in 1910 of 26 elected members, presided over ex officio by the Chief Justice. The members were elected, four for the Western, the South-eastern and the Eastern Provinces, three for the North-western, South-western, Midland and North-eastern Provinces, and one each for British Bechuanaland and Griqualand West. They kept their seats for seven years anless the Council was sooner dissolved.? No person was qualified to be elected a member of the Council who was incapacitated to be registered as a voter, was under the age of 30 years, was not the owner for his own ase and benefit of immovable property situate within the Colony of the value of £2,000 over and above all special conventional mortgages affecting the same, or who was not, being the owner of such property to such value but under mortgage, at the same time possessed of property movable and immovable in the Colony to the value of not less than £4,000 over and above his just debts.

From this proviso were excepted the offices of Colonial Secretary, Treasurer, ' See also The Government of South Africa, ii. 382 seq., 400. * Formerly for ten years, with a rotation, one half retiring every five years.
