2. And whereas it is ordered by our said Order, made by Us
in our Privy Council, bearing even date herewith, that there
shall be within our said Colony of Queensland a Legislative
Council and a Legislative Assembly, to be severally
constituted and composed in the manner in the said Order
prescribed; and that We shall have power, by and with the
advice and consent of the said Council and Assembly, to make
laws for the peace, welfare, and good government of our said
Colony in all cases whatever: And it is provided by the above
recited Act, that the provisions of the Act of the fourteenth
year of Her Majesty, chapter fifty-nine, and of the Act of the
sixth year of Her Majesty, chapter seventy-six, intituled,
"An Act for the Government of New South Wales and Van Diemen's
Land," which relate to the giving and withholding of Her
Majesty's assent to bills, and the reservation of bills for
the signification of Her Majesty's pleasure thereon, and the
instructions to be conveyed to Governors for their guidance
in relation to the matters aforesaid and the disallowance of
Bills by Her Majesty, shall apply to Bills to be passed by the
Legislative Council and Assembly constituted under the said
Reserved Bill and Act, and by any other Legislative body or
bodies which may at any time hereafter be substituted for
the present Council and Assembly: Now We do, by virtue of the
powers in Us vested, hereby require and command, that you do
take especial care that in making and passing such laws, with
the advice and consent of the said Legislative Council,
and Legislative Assembly, the provisions, regulations,
restrictions, and directions contained in the said Acts of
Parliament, and in Our said Order made in Our Privy Council,
bearing even date herewith, and in Our instructions under
Our Sign Manual, accompanying this Our Commission, or in such
future Orders as may be made by Us in Our Privy Council, or in
such further instructions under Our Sign Manual and Signet as
shall at any time hereafter be issued to you in that behalf,
be strictly complied with.
