I. Powers - necessity.
1.
Power of making
regulations necessary
every where - more
particularly in a
new Colony than
in an old Government.
p.1.
2.
It is power of legislation .
p.1.
3.
In feudal times
the want of it was
felt here — p.1.
4.
1. It is more urgent
in an infant Colony.
p.1.
5.
2. in a community
composed chiefly of
outcasts than in
one ordinarily composed.
p.1.
6.
3. in a dependy thus
distant than in
the Eastern at but
half , in the Western
at but 1/4 the distance .
— p.2.
7.
Founding a Colony
is creating the necessary assortment
of the powers of
government in it -
No foundation
without it . p.2.
8.
Judicial power is
not sufficient . p.3.
9.
If the existence of
such legislative
power be nor necessary, at any
rate the belief of
it is . p. 3.
10
No legislative power
was created at the
outset nor has
been since . The
only N. S. Wales
Act 27.G.3.c.2.
creates nothing
but judicial .p.3.

II. Powers—non-existence 1.
Yet the Governor
went on issuing
Ordinances and
the Council Board
or Secretary of States
Office giving him
instructions for
issuing Ordinances
as if there had
been a power to
that effect . —p.5.
2.
The exercise of that
power must have
been accompanied
with a persuasion
of the right —
1. On the part of the
Governor — p.5.
3.
2. or of his superiors
at home viz: either
1. of its existence
2. or that it would
be believed to exist.
p.5.
4.
If they had no such
persuasion their
conduct was fraudulent.
p.6.
5.
That any such
persuasion was
really entertained is
not probable —
To shew this here
follows the best
case that can be
made in support
of any such a
right . p.6.
6.
Admitted that a
right exists to a
certain extent - but
not to the extent
to which it has
been exercised . —
p.6.
