30 PREROGATIVE INSTRUMENTS INSTRUCTIONS passed under the Royal Sign Manual and Signet to the Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Dominion of New Zealand. Dated November 18, 1907. EDWARD R. & IL [nstrUCTIONS to Our Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Our Dominion of New Zealand, or in his absence to Our Lieutenant- Governor or other Officer for the time being administering the Government of Our said Dominion. WHEREAS by certain Letters Patent bearing even date herewith We have constituted, ordered, and declared that there shall be a Governor and Commander-in-Chief (therein and hereinafter called the Governor) in and over Our Dominion of New Zealand (therein and hereinafter called the Dominion) : And whereas We have thereby authorized and commanded the Governor to do and execute all things that belong to his said office, according to the tenor of Our said Letters Patent, and of such Com- mission as may be issued to him under Our Sign Manual and Signet, and according to such Instructions as may from time to time be given to him under Our Sign Manual and Signet or by Our Order in Our Privy Council or by Us through one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, and to such Laws as are now or shall hereafter be in force in “he Dominion : Now know you that We do by these Our Instructions under Our Sign Manual and Signet direct and enjoin and declare Our will and pleasure as follows :— I. In these Our Instructions, unless inconsistent with the context, the term © the Governor’ shall include every person for the time being administering the Government of the Dominion, and the term ' the Executive Council ’ shall mean the members of the Executive Council for the Dominion who are for the time heing the responsible advisers of the Governor.2 II. The Governor may, whenever he thinks fit, require any person in the public service to take the Oath of Allegiance, together with such other Oath or Oaths as may from time to time be prescribed by any Law in force in the Dominion. The Governor is to administer such oaths or cause them to be administered bv some Public Officer of the Dominion. ' Permanent instructions were issued on February 21, 1879. They were revised simultaneously with the Australian instructions on March 26, 1892 (see Constitution and Government of New Zealand, pp. 182-6). 2 There are no other members of an Executive Council in New Zealand, and the phrase seems to have been borrowed in 1892 from a Colony where the Executive Council, as in Victoria and Tasmania. contains past members.
