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 State, and the term © Executive Council’ shall mean the members of Our Executive Council for the State who are for the time being the responsible advisers of the Governor. 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 State. The Governor is to administer such oaths or cause them to be administered by some Public Officer of the State. III.

V.
