375
Law of the Colony, confirmed by the Queen, do not legally require "confirmation" to render them valid; as do appointments made only provisionally and subject to "confirmation". But, of course, every action of the Governor is subject to the "approval" or "disapproval" of the Secretary of State.
I am confident that Your Lordship will agree with me that it is important to employ in official documents the correct legal terms in matters involving points of Law.
Submitting Mr. Vorspool's appointment for your approval, I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient, Humble Servant,
5. Bowen
