171. Petitions addressed to the Queen, or petitions addressed to the Queen in Council (other than petitions of appeal or petitions for special leave to appeal from decrees, orders, sentences or decisions of courts, judges, or judicial officers), and memorials to public officers or departments of Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, shall be in like manner sent to the Governor for transmission to the Secretary of State.
172. The Governor shall transmit to the Secretary of State with all reason- able despatch every communication received by him in accordance with Regulations 169 to 171, accompanied by such report as its contents may appear to him to require. This instruction does not apply to second or subsequent communications where the petition or other document contains no new matter relating to the appeal.
173. There is no right to petition any member of the Royal Family other than the Queen, and it is inappropriate to send them memorials requesting intervention in matters of Government. The Governor shall return any Memorial of this kind to the sender informing him of the correct method of petitioning the Crown.
