CHAP. XI] HONOURS 1305 Australia, and the Union, and the Governor of New Zealand, who are usually peers. The Order of the Michael and George is also bestowed on members of the Colonial Office, but the 0.B. is frequently granted to them also, and occasionally the Permanent Under-Secretary has received a peerage on retirement, a laudable practice. Recommendations for honours are made by the Secretary of State for the Colonies in the case of all recommendations for the membership of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, and other distinctions for Colonial services. { 2. Tur PREFIX ‘ HONOURABLE’ In addition to honours in the form of titles, the use of the prefix ¢ Honourable ’ has now been definitely regulated. It is adopted on instructions from the Queen by the Privy Councillors and by the Senate of Canada, and by established practice it is borne by the members of the Legislative Councils! and the Executive Councils in all the self-governing Dominions. In those cases where membership of the Executive Council does not cease on retirement from active office, namely in the Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, Victoria, and Tasmania, formerly in the case of the Cape and presumably in the Union, the title is borne for life. In other cases ex-members of the Executive Council may, if they have served for three years, or if in the office of Premier for one year, be granted by special per- mission of the Crown the right to retain the title after having ceased to hold office. These titles, which were originally of local application only, were given validity throughout Her Majesty’s Dominions by a notice published in the London Gazette of June 16, 1893, and by a circular dispatch of November 14, 1896, which laid down that members of the Legislative Councils of Colonies under responsible govern- ment might be permitted after not less than ten years’ ' Also by the Speaker of the Assembly. The Australian Senators do not use it. * The ex-members have precedence as a rule next after members, even ‘f the title * Honourable ® is not continued to them.
