30 RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT [PART I differed from those in the case of New South Wales mainly in that they added the case of divorce Bills to those which were named as of Imperial interest in the list adopted by the sister Colony. The provisions are of considerable interest, both for the fact that they constitute a deliberate and early attempt to distinguish between local and Imperial affairs, and because they indicate roughly the lines on which Imperial control of the Dominion Governments and Parliaments has been exercised, and those of New South Wales may be quoted at length. Clause one of the Bill gives legislative authority to the new Parliament, and then adds provisos, of which the relevant one runs :—1! II. The Bills on imperial subjects which may be reserved for the signification of Her Majesty’s pleasure, or which, after being assented to by the Governor in Her Majesty’s name, may be afterwards disallowed by Her Majesty within the period hereinafter specified. are as follow: = that is to say,— 1. Bills touching the allegiance of the inhabitants of this Colony to Her Majesty’s Crown. 2. Bills touching the naturalization of aliens. 3. Bills relating to treaties between the Crown and any foreign power. 4. Bills relating to political intercourse and communica- tions between this Colony and any officer of a foreign power or dependency. 5. Bills relating to the employment, command, and discipline of Her Majesty’s sea and land forces within this Colony, and whatever relates to the defence of the Colony from foreign aggression, including the command of the municipal militia and marine. 6. Bills relating to the crime of high treason. III. Whenever any question shall arise as to the right of the Governor to reserve any Bill for the signification of Her Majesty’s pleasure thereon, or as to the right of Her Majesty to disallow any such Bill, the same shall be deter- mined by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and in no other manner, except by the consent of the said Legislature of New South Wales, and such question shall be raised by an address to Her Majesty in Her Privy Council See Parl. Pap., May 14, 1855, p. 4.
