OHAP. XI] HONOURS 1311 the Colonies by letters patent and conferring upon them jurisdiction of any kind was definitely and finally abandoned. [t was then clear that all bishops must be treated alike and denied precedence or accorded precedence on like grounds, but the new order was not established generally until the nineties. It has become the practice of late to vary the rule by which members of the Royal Family are given precedence next after the Governor of a Colony. Though this was observed on the occasion of early visits paid by royalty to the Colonies and to India, the Duke of York, when he visited Australia to open the Commonwealth Parliament in 1901, took precedence before the Governor-General. On the other hand, in New Zealand, which he also visited, he had not any such precedence. But on the occasion of the Prince of Wales’s visit to Canada in connexion with the Tercentenary celebrations in 1907, he was given by dispatch precedence over all persons in the Dominion of Canada, including the Governor-General, and when the Duke of Connaught was sent in 1910 to South Africa to open the first Parliament of the Union, he was likewise given precedence by letters patent over all persons in South Africa. The general regulation of precedence by statute has practically never taken place, but it has been regulated in the case of the Judges in Australia by the Royal Charters of Justice and local Acts. For example, the Royal Charter of Justice of 1823 for New South Wales, which was issued ander the statutory authority given by the Act 4 Geo. IV. ¢. 96, gave the Chief Justice of New South Wales precedence immediately after the Governor of the state. This charter reserved full power to the Crown to repeal its provisions, but the Constitution Act of 1855 maintained the provisions of the existing Act subject to being altered by the authority which could change them. The precedence of the Chief Justice could thus be, and was on a vacancy in 1910 altered by instructions from the King 150 as to give the Admiral the usual precedence } * That a provision of a local Act could be repealed by the prerogative Is impossible, and so the Victoria Act, No. 1142 of 1890, s. 11, and the Tasmania Act, 19 Vict. No. 23, giving precedence to the Chief Justice next after the Lieutenant-Glovernor, and Puisne Judges next after the Chief
