1584 PREROGATIVE INSTRUMENTS committed for which the offender may be tried within the Union, to grant a pardon to any accomplice in such crime or offence who shall give such information as shall lead to the conviction of the principal offender, or of any one of such offenders if more than one; and further, to grant to any offender convicted of any such crime or offence in any Court, or before any Judge, Justice, or Magistrate, within the Union, a pardon, either free or subject to lawful conditions, or any remission of the sentence passed on such offender, or any respite of the execution of such sentence, for such period as to the Governor-General may seem fit, and to remit any fines, penalties, or forfeitures which may become due and payable to Us.
