APPENDIX. 
Parliament of Our said Dominion, which he is to require from 
the clerks, or other proper officers in that behalf, of the said 
Parliament. 
V. And We do further authorize and empower Our said 
Governor-General, as he shall see occasion, in Our name and on 
Our behalf, when any crime has been committed for which the 
offender may be tried within our said Dominion, to grant a 
pardon to any accomplice, not being the actual perpetrator of 
such crime, who shall give such information as shall lead to the 
conviction of the principal offender; and further to grant to any 
offender convicted of any crime in any Court, or before any 
Judge, Justice, or Magistrate, within Our said Dominion, a 
pardon, either free or subject to lawful conditions or any 
respite of the execution of the sentence of any such offender, for 
such period as to Our said Governor-General may seem fit, and to 
remit any fines, penalties, or forfeitures, which may become due and 
payable to Us. Provided always, that Our said Governor-General 
shall not in any case, except where the offence has been of a politi- 
cal nature, make it a condition of any pardon or remission of 
sentence that the offender shall be banished from or shall absent 
himself from Our said Dominion. And We do hereby direct and 
enjoin that Our said Governor-General shall not pardon or re. 
prieve any such offender without first receiving in capital cases 
the advice of the Privy Council for our said Dominion, and in 
other cases the advice of one, at least, of his Ministers; and in 
any case in which such pardon or reprieve might directly affect 
the interests of Our Empire, or of any country or place beyond 
the jurisdiction of the Government of our said Dominion, Our 
said Governor-General shall, before deciding as to either pardon 
or reprieve, take those interests specially into his own personal 
consideration in conjunction with such advice as aforesaid. 
VI. And whereas great prejudice may happen to Our 
service and to the security of our said Dominion, by the absence 
of Our said Governor-General, he shall not, upon any pretence 
whatever, quit Our said Dominion without having first obtained 
leave from Us for so doing under Our Sign-Manual and Signet, or 
through one of Our Principal Secretaries of State.
