reporting the matter to Us without delay, with the reasons for his 
30 acting.

hereby authorized, from time to time, in Our name by an Instrument or 
Instruments under the Public Seal of the State, to summon to the Legisla- 
vive Council of the State such person or persons as the Governor and 
Executive Council shall think fit, tn accordance with the provisions of 
an Act passed tn the Session of Parliament holden in the Eighteenth 
and Nineteenth years of Our Reign, intituled an Act to enable Her Majesty 
to assent to a Bill, as amended, of the Legislature of New South Wales 
“to confer a Constitution on New South Wales, and to grant a Civil 
List to Her Majesty’. 
VIII2 The Governor shall not, except in the cases hereunder 
mentioned, assent in Our name to any Bill of any of the following 
classes :— 
1. Any Bill for the divorce of persons joined together in holy 
matrimony. 
2. Any Bill whereby any grant of land or money, or other donation

once refused, or which have been disallowed by Us ; 
Unless he shall have previously obtained Our Instructions upon 
such Bill through one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, or unless 
such Bill shall contain a clause suspending the operation of such 
Bill until the signification in the State of Our pleasure thereupon,

18 & 19 Vict. c. 54, sched. 8. 2, now repealed.
