IV] THE GOVERNOR AS HEAD 239 the Lieutenant-Governors now holding office prove that correctness of this view has been hitherto recognized in ctice ; and I cannot doubt that your advisers, from the , lions they have expressed, would be equally ready with - late Government to appreciate the objections to any on which might tend to weaken its influence in the future. have directed your attention particularly to this point, ause it appears to me to be important that, in.considering we which may be referred to hereafter as a precedent, true constitutional position of a Lieutenant-Governor ald be defined.
