Excerpt from Historical Records of Australia, Vol. 15: Series I. Governors' Despatches to and From England; June, 1829-December, 1830 Notes and Bills had been made payable in Sterling Money of the Realm. Prior to the appointment of this council laws and ordinances for the government of the colony had been enacted by the gov ernor entirely on his own discretion and initiative by means of proclamations and government orders. The legality of this prae tise was frequently called in question, and the illegality was tacitly admitted by the passing of acts of indemnity for the governor by the English parliament. By the appointment of the council, the enactment of new laws and ordinances was first placed on a constitutional basis, and at the same time the governor was relieved of a large part of his personal responsibility.
