APPENDIX OF PREROGATIVE INSTRUMENTS CANADA ~ THE instruments issued under the prerogative for the Government of Canada comprise (1) Letters Patent under the Great Seal constituting the office of Governor-General, (2) Royal Instructions under the Sign Manual and Signet to the Governor-General, and (3) the Commission to the Governor- General. The two former instruments are permanent, the last is issued anew with each change of Governor, but is not otherwise varied in form. The permanent letters patent and instructions were first issued in 1878, and represent the result of Mr. Blake’s criticisms ;1 they were revised in 1905, and show traces of the influence of the similar instruments for the Commonwealth.2 LETTERS PATENT passed under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom, constituting the Office of Governor- General and Commander-in-Chief of the Dominion of Canada. Letters Patent. Dated 15th June 1905. Edward the Seventh, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India ; To all to whom these Presents shall come, Greeting : Whereas by certain Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland bearing date at Westminster the Fifth day of October 1878, Her late Majesty Queen Victoria did constitute, order, and declare that there should be a Governor-General in and over Our Dominion of Canada, and that the person filling the said office of Governor-General should be from time to time appointed by Commission under the Royal Sign Manual and Signet : * See above, pp. 158 seq. * Clause V of the Instructions does not give the Governor-General power to pardon for an offence committed outside but triable in Canada. This power was given in the old Instructions, but, it seems, too close adherence to the Com- monwealth model has resulted in its omission. See pp. 1415, 1416.
