Such laws will cease to have effect if both Houses of Parliament by resolution request the Governor-General in Council to repeal them ; in which case the repeal will be carried out by proclamation.

Act No. 23 of 1911 of the Union unites the branches of the Dutch Reformed Church, but ex- cludes native members in the Cape from equality in the other provinces. * Namely, the Bechuanaland Protectorate, Swaziland, a Protectorate taken over from the Transvaal on the conquest of that country, and the Colony of Basutoland, disannexed from the Cape in 1883, For all these the Crown now legislates by Order in Council, and the High Commissioner tor South Africa legislates by proclamation ; see Parl. Payp., H. C. 130. 1905.
