Article XXII of the Royal Instructions which are constitut- ional limitations on the action of the Governor as a branch of the Legislature,

In support of his argument and as showing the limitations on the power of action of the Governor Mr. Jenkin referred to Cameron v. Kyte 3 Knapp P.C. Cases p.352, Musgrave v. Pulido 5 A.C. p.102, and the Colonial Acts

Confirmation Act, 1894. In my opinion those cases refer to executive acts of Colonial Governors and merely lay down

the accepted principle that his powers in that respect are

limited to those which are conferred on him and that he has

not the full powers of sovereignity possessed by a Viceroy.

The preamble to the Colonial Acts Confirmation Act,

1894, appeared, at first sight, to lend considerable support

to the case for the Plaintiffs, but I think that the note

to that statute in Vol.2 of Chitty's Statutes (5th edition)

clearly explains the reasons for its enactment. The various

laws which were confirmed by it dealt with the reform of

the electoral law of the various Colonies mentioned in 8.2(2)

of the confirming Act, but serious doubt arose as to their

validity because two Acts of the Imperial Parliament

required in express terms that Colonial Acts of that nature

should be reserved for the Queen's approval. In the absence of such reservation it might well have been that the local

Acta were repugnant to the provisions of an Imperial Act extending to the various Colonies and therefore void for

repugnancy.

I have always understood the correct view as to the power of a Colonial legislature to be that it has full

power to legislate over all matters falling within the territorial limits of the Colony except in so far as any

such legislation is repugnant to an Order of His Majesty in Council, in the cases of Colonies in which power to legislate

by Order in Council has been retained, or to an Act of the

Imperial
