And whereas by “The Gold Fields Act Amendment Act, 1867,” it is enacted that within any Province in which by any Act or Ordinance it is provided that the Superintendent shall, in the administration of the Government thereof, act by and with the advice and consent of an Executive Council, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, under his hand and under the Public Seal of the Colony, from time to time as occasion may require, to delegate to the Executive Government for the time being of such Province, subject or not to any restrictions or limitations as he shall think fit, all or any of such powers vested in the Governor or the Governor in Council by the “Gold Fields Act, 1866:”
