V.3 The Governor shall keep and use the Public Seal of the State for sealing all things whatsoever that shall pass the said Public Seal, and until a Public Seal shall be provided for the State, the Great Seal formerly used for4 Our Colony of New South Wales shall be used as the Public Seal of the State.
