But they are still subject to disallowance by

Leter

Her Majesty and that is presumably the reason for the Governor,

when reporting them, states that they have been made "subject

to Her Majesty's pleasure". I think that signification of

non-disallowance of the appointments (not of confirmation thereof)

is desirable even if the contention were correct that the effect

of the omission of the words "for our confirmation or

disallowance" is that such signification is not legally necessary.

It is obviously convenient for the Gove nor to be informed that

the power of disallowance which exists in relation to these

appointments will not be exercised.
