1036 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [PART V became law in 1876 in much the same form.! In Queensland an Act of 1860 regarding the Supreme Court was not assented to and never became law, and in 1881 a curious Bill against the introduction of foreign criminals which was reserved never received the royal assent. Another Bill in 1879 for the apprehension in Queensland of criminals which had come from other states was never assented to, but the principle was enforced by the passing of the Imperial Fugitive Offenders Act, 1881, part ii of which made provision for the case of contiguous colonies like those in Australia, and which was applied to Australia, rendering the passing of local Acts unnecessary. In South Australia there was disallowed an Act of 1864 which was intended to make more stringent provisions against the introduction of convicted felons and other persons sentenced to transportation, a measure directed against any possible attempt of the Home Government to introduce such persons into the Colony, which was very proud of its free origin.® In Tasmania an Act to abolish the grant of state aid to religion was also refused assent in 1859, but a similar Act (No. 30) was passed in 1868 and assented to. A Bill of 1861 affecting the salary of the Governor then in office was not assented to, and an Act regarding prisoners was disallowed in 1863. In 1867 a Bill to reduce the salary of the next Governor of Tasmania failed to receive the royal assent, but in 1873 the Bill became law, and subsequent legislation was passed in 1883. The Bill of 1867 was re- enacted next year, only again to fail to receive the royal assent. In Western Australia an Act (No. 39) regarding patents passed in 1900 was not assented to as the matter was becoming shortly one for the Federal Government to consider in its whole aspect.’ In New Zealand there was a refusal of assent to a Railway Bill in 1861, and in 1863 to a Bill to enable the Provincial Legislatures to acquire land compulsorily. Then there were not assented to a Bill of 1867 to reduce the salary of the * Parl. Pap., H.C. 196, 1894, pp. 8, 9. * Ibid., p. 9. 3 1bid., pp. 9, 10. Ibid., p. 10. 5 Parl. Pap., H.
