1612 PREROGATIVE INSTRUMENTS of England, or inconsistent with any obligations imposed upon Us by Treaty. But he is to transmit to us, by the earliest opportunity, the Bill so assented to, together with his reasons for assenting thereto. XVIII. And We do further direct and enjoin Our said Governor to transmit to Us, through one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, a transcript in duplicate of every Law which has been assented to by him in Our name, together with a marginal abstract thereof duly authenticated under the Public Seal of Our said Colony, and that such transcript shall be accompanied with such explanatory observa- tions as may be required to exhibit the reasons and occasions for pro- posing such laws ; and that in case any such law shall at any time be disallowed, and so signified by Us, Our Heirs and Successors, under Our or their Sign Manual and Signet, or by Order of Our or their Privy Council unto him, then such Law as shall be so disallowed shall from thenceforth cease, determine, and become utterly void and of none effect, anything to the contrary thereof notwithstanding. XIX. And whereas We have by Our said Letters Patent authorized and empowered our said Governor, as he shall see occasion, in Our name and on Our behalf, to grant to any offender convicted of any crime in any Court, or before any Judge, Justice, or Magistrate within Our said Colony, a pardon, either free or subject to lawful conditions : Now We do hereby direct and enjoin Our said Governor to call upon the Judge who presided at the trial of any offender who shall have been condemned to suffer death by the sentence of any Court within Our said Colony to make to Our said Governor a written report of the case of such offender, and such report of the said Judge shall by Our said Governor be taken into consideration at the first meeting thereafter which may be conveniently held of Our said Executive Council, where the sad Judge may be specially summoned to attend 3 and Our said Governor shall not pardon or reprieve any such offender as aforesaid, unless it shall appear to him expedient so to do, upon receiving the advice of Our Executive Council therein, but in all such cases he is to decide either to extend or to withhold a pardon or reprieve, according to his own deliberate judgement, whether the Members of Our said Executive Council concur therein or otherwise ; entering, nevertheless, on the Minutes of the said Council a Minute of his reasons at length, in case he should decide any such questions in opposition to the judgement of the majority of the Members thereof. XX. And We do further direct and enjoin that all Commissions granted by Our said Governor to any person or persons to be Judges, Justices of the Peace, or other officers, shall, unless otherwise provided by law, be granted during pleasure only. XXI. And whereas Our said Governor will receive through one of Our Principal Secretaries of State a Book of Tables in Blank, com- monly called the ‘ Blue Book’, to be annually filled up with certain Returns, relative to the Revenue and Expenditure, Militia, Public Works, Legislation, Civil Establishment, Pensions, Population, Schools.
