	Schlesinger, Colonial Appeals to the Privy Council. Pt. I
		To the crown this appellate control afforded a means of preventing important changes in colonial law without the consent of the mother country; and it also served the purpose of correcting judgments given in the colonial courts to the disadvantage of the crown.
		This instruction was probably meant for the island colonies and other possessions of England which were far wealthier than her American continental colonies, for the £300 rule is specified in a number of accessible commissions and instructions from 1690 down to 1730.
		Any attempt to summarize, for the entire colonial period, the development of the law regarding the minimum value necessary for appeal, as set forth in the regulations of the king in council, is unsatisfactory, because, as we have seen, the practice varied.

		The council served as an advisory group to the governor during the proprietary and royal periods, as well as serving as the upper house of the legislature when the assembly was in session.

		The governor and other executive officers were elected to four-year terms, while the justices of the supreme court and judges of the superior court were elected to eight-year terms.

	Blogging... Walk The Talk: The Colonial Flag of Hong Kong
		Now this image irked successive Governors and senior civil servants, keenly aware that the flag showed that it was the merchant, and not the authority of the Queen, that made the flag distinctive.
		I admit that in the design of the enclosed flag there is a certain unpleasant resemblance to a portion of the present arms of the Colony, but I respectfully submit that the opportunity is not unfabourable for considering whether the Arms themselves now borne on the seal of the Colony are not capable of improvement.
		Colonial Secretary just now has said that if we continue our present flag, we will be upholding that which the Legislative Council of 1869 disapproved.

		The colonial office was unable to understand that convict labour could not be made to pay its way, and Wilmot was made responsible for the faults of a system he had no power to amend.
		He was also in the forefront of the struggle with Gipps concerning generally the powers of the council and the governor on the land question, and in 1846 moved and carried an address to the governor acquainting him that the council could not entertain a bill he had originated.

		Governor's Pond, a large inlet which lay between the house and the end of King George Street (reaching as far inland as the back corner of William Paca's garden) and which is clearly depicted on the Frenchman's map, had been filled in by the 1850s.
		The Naval Academy used the former governor's mansion as its library until the building (and others of the early campus) was razed to permit construction in the early 1900s of the Beaux Arts campus designed by Ernest Flagg.
		Inspired perhaps by the colonial nostalgia that surrounded celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of Maryland, Nice "conceived the idea of converting what was a mid-Victorian house into a Georgian country mansion," through the addition of two hyphens and flanking wings.

		1869 - The authorization for "governors of all ranks" to have a British Union flag defaced with the arms or badge of the colony.
		The Governor General's flag alone bore a St. Edward's crown with the badge of Canada, the Lieutenant Governors' flags bore the provincial badges without a crown.
		Canadian Governors General and Lt. Governors seem to have started using them on land in the 1890's, but colonial governors were not authorised to fly their defaced Union Jacks on land until 1943.

	Forfeiture in England and Colonial America
		Some were royal colonies (such as Virginia) thought to be under direct control of the Crown; others were chartered colonies (e.g., Massachusetts) in which extensive governing rights were given to a charter company; still others were proprietary colonies (e.g., Maryland and Pennsylvania) in which a single owner had been granted vast authority [Hall, 1989:14].
		This created a difficult situation, because slaves, in many of the colonies, were considered chattel and could, theoretically, be included as part of a forfeiture if their owner were convicted and attained for a capital felony.
		Given the fact that a number of colonies had abolished the use of forfeiture and corruption of blood, it is not surprising that the Constitutional Convention of 1787 took up the issue.

	Board of Ordnance: Military Authorities Afloat (Britain)
		In 1869 when defaced Union Jacks were introduced for Diplomats and Colonial Governors, a flag of similar style was specified for Military Authorities when embarked in boats and other vessels.
		The image is based on an entry in the Colonial Office Record Book, CO 325/54, in which it had been mistakenly entered as the flag of the Governor of Queensland.
		Theoretically, even if it had been the governor's flag, it should not have been square, which suggests that it was copied as it was, and not altered from 1:2 to 1:1.
