to make the latter Office a stepping-stone
fto the former. Since the adoption of

three Lieutenant-Gove have thus
BEEN promoted, and one only to ill a
fvacaney.a Originally the Governor
fcou1d not be re elected until year had
elapsed since the last term, hence, down

find the names alternating each year

land Sir Edmund Andres appointed, Oc-
Itober 31st 1867, who served to May, 1869

held SIX years eonsecutively before be-
ing Governor at all, and held it for elev-
en- years more, making his total term of
service in these two positions, thirty
years. ' "
