CHAP. VII] THE UPPER HOUSES 545 House of Assembly of the said Colony : Provided that the Legislative Council of the said Colony and the Governor thereof shall, respectively, have full power and authority to make, in all such Bills, such amendments as the said Council and the said Governor shall, respectively, regard as needful or expedient ; and the said Council and the said Governor may, respectively, return such Bills, so amended, to the House of Assembly or the Legislative Council. This clause allowed the Council to increase the burden on the people, but the power was not, normally at least, used. 3. No special provision was made by law for the settle- ment of differences between the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly, but by s. 74 of the Constitution Ordi- nance it was provided that the Governor might, whenever he saw fit so to do, either by speech or proclamation dissolve the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly, or dissolve the House of Assembly without dissolving the Legislative Council.
