§ MR. LOCKEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether an Order of Her Majesty in Council, and published in the "London Gazette," becomes Law in the Island of Jersey, although not registered by the Royal Court of Jersey; if not, have the Royal Court the authority to delay registration of Orders in Council?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, that an Order in Council published in The London Gazette did not become law in the Island of Jersey until it was registered. He understood that the Royal Court had power to suspend for a time the registration of Orders in Council, with a view of affording an opportunity for examining their contents, considering them, and of petitioning in respect of them if necessary; but in the event of declining to register the Queen had power to order registration to be made.
§ MR. LOCKEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Order in Council dated 26th October 1875, and published in the "London Gazette," constituting the Consolidated Chapelry of Gouray, in the Island of Jersey, has come into operation; and whether the Crown, with the concurrence of the Bishop of the diocese, 6 has appointed an officiating clergyman to the district?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, he believed this particular Order had not been registered; but it was true that the Bishop, with the concurrence of the Crown, had made the appointment referred to.
