of this colony, after the separation therefrom of the colony
of Victoria, from time to time, by any act or acts, to alter
the provisions or laws for the time being in force under the
said Imperial act or otherwise, concerning the election of
the elective members of such Legislative Council, the quali-
fication of electors and elective members, or to establish in
the said colony, instead of the Legislative Council, a coun-
cil and a house of representatives, or other separate legis-
lative houses, to consist of such members to be appointed
or elected by such persons and in such manner as by such
act or acts shall be determined, and to vest in such council
and house of representation, or other separate legislative
houses, the powers and functions of the Legislative Council
for which the same may be substituted ; and whereas it is
expedient that the powers vested by the said act in the said
Governor and Legislative Council should be exercised and
that a Parliament, consisting of a Legislative Council and
Assembly, should be substituted for the said Legislative
Council, with the increased powers and functions herein
after contained : Be it therefore enacted, by his Excellency
the Governor of New South Wales, with the advice and

plus of the Consolidated Revenue Fund, or for imposing
any new rate, tax, or impost, subject always to the limi-
tation contained in clause fifty-three of this act, shall ori-
ginate in the Legislative Assembly of the said colony ; and
further, that all bills affecting any Imperial subject may
be reserved in the discretion of the Governor for her Ma-
