Notices,
It is hereby notified for general
information that His Excellency the
Governor has refused his assent to
the Montserrat Crown Proceedings
(General Legislature Competency)
Ordinance, 1953, which was passed
, by the Montserrat Legislative Council
on the 29th day of December, 1953.
2. The circumstances of the
Governor's refusal to assent are as
follows. It was orginally proposed
that federal Crown Proceedings legis-
lation should be enacted by the
General Legislative Council. To en-
able this to. be done, the Presidential
Legislatures were invited to pass
legislation giving the Federal Govern-
ment competency in this respect.
Such legislation was passed by the
Montserrat Legislature, but sub-
sequently one of the Presidential
Governments decided that it preferred
not to give the Federal Government
competency in this matter. In the
circumstances, the only practicable
course is to enact Crown Proceedings
legislation on a presidential basis, and
the Presidential Legislatures are being
invited to take action accordingly.
3. As action is now to be taken on
a Presidential basis, no useful purpose
would be served by. the Governor
assenting to the Montserrat Com-
petency Ordinance mentioned above.
4. The Governor desires to express
his regret to the Montserrat Legisla-
tive Council that they should have
been put to the unnecessary trouble
of passing this legislation.

Notices,
It is hereby notified for general
information that His Excellency the
Governor has refused his assent to
the Montserrat Crown Proceedings
(General Legislature Competency)
Ordinance, 1953, which was passed
, by the Montserrat Legislative Council
on the 29th day of December, 1953.
2. The circumstances of the
Governor's refusal to assent are as
follows. It was orginally proposed
that federal Crown Proceedings legis-
lation should be enacted by the
General Legislative Council. To en-
able this to. be done, the Presidential
Legislatures were invited to pass
legislation giving the Federal Govern-
ment competency in this respect.
Such legislation was passed by the
Montserrat Legislature, but sub-
sequently one of the Presidential
Governments decided that it preferred
not to give the Federal Government
competency in this matter. In the
circumstances, the only practicable
course is to enact Crown Proceedings
legislation on a presidential basis, and
the Presidential Legislatures are being
invited to take action accordingly.
3. As action is now to be taken on
a Presidential basis, no useful purpose
would be served by. the Governor
assenting to the Montserrat Com-
petency Ordinance mentioned above.
4. The Governor desires to express
his regret to the Montserrat Legisla-
tive Council that they should have
been put to the unnecessary trouble
of passing this legislation.
