17 Imperial Parliament or any orders or regulations made under any such Act, extending to the particular Colony.

Previously to the passing of the Colonial Laws Validity: Act, 1865, there appears to have been a school of thought which was disposed to hold that if a Colonial law was

repugnant to the Common Law of England it was invalid but

any doubts created by such views were set at rest by 8.3 of that Act; and any further doubts which may have existed as to the effect of failure by the Governor to carry out instruction given to him, are, in my opinion, removed by

8.4.

That section states that no Colonial Law is to be

deemed invalid by reason only of any instructions with

reference to such law or the subject thereof which may be

given to the Governor by or on behalf of the Sovereign,

unless such instructions appear in the Letters Patent or any instrument authorising the Governor to concur in passing

or assenting to laws for the peace, order and good govern-

ment of the Colony; and to make the position absolutely

clear the section goes on to provide that mere reference to

any such instructions in the Letters Patent or the

instrument are not to have any effect on the validity of

the Colonial Law.

In Hongkong, the authority to the Governor to concur

in passing or assenting to laws for the peace, order and good government of the Colony is given in Article II of the

Letters Patent; the directions as to not assenting to

certain classes of Bills unless they contain a suspend ing

clause are given in Article XIII of the Royal Instructions.

I take it therefore, that legislation which falls within

the purview of the Legislature is good even though the

Governor way have failed to carry out the Royal Instructions

If the Governor does not follow instructions, and I

read the term as used in 8.4 of the Colonial Laws Validity

Act
