WHEREAS by a Commission passed under the Royal Sign-manual and Signet,
bearing date at Windsor the twenty-fourth day of February, one thousand
eight hundred and ninety-two, Her Majesty the Queen was pleased to appoint me to

the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, bearing date at Westminster the

said Commission is particularly set forth :
And whereas in the said Letters Patent it is, among other things, provided that,
in the event of the Governor having occasion to be temporarily absent for a short
period from the seat of Government or from the colony, he may in every such case,
by an instrument under the Public Seal of the Colony, constitute and appoint the
Lieutenant-Governor, or, if there be no such officer, then any other person, to be his
Deputy during such temporary absence, and in that capacity to exercise, perform,
and execute for and on behalf of the Governor during such absence, but no longer,
all such powers and authorities vested in the Governor by the said Letters Patent
as shall in and by such instrument be specified and limited, but no others : Pro-
vided, nevertheless, that, by the appointment of a Deputy as aforesaid, the power
and authority of the Governor shall not be abridged, altered, or in any way affected
otherwise than Her Majesty may at any time thereafter think proper to direct :
