His Majesty in Council may make all necessary Laws for giving effect to this Act in the Settlement of Honduras.

LXII. ‘And whereas in the Settlements in the Occupation of His Majesty and of His Majesty’s Subjects in Honduras, no Law is in force for the Registration of Slaves, and Doubts might be entertained respecting the Authority of His Majesty, with the Advice of His Privy Council, to make Laws binding on His Majesty’s Subjects therein;’ be it therefore declared and enacted, That it is and shall be lawful for His Majesty, by any Order or Orders to be by Him for that Purpose made with the Advice of His Privy Council, to establish a Registry of Slaves for the Purposes of this Act within the said Settlement; and all Laws made by His Majesty for the Government of His said Subjects shall, for the Purposes of this Act, be as valid and effectual as any Laws made by His Majesty in Council for the Government of any Colonies subject to the Legislative Authority of His Majesty in Council are or can be.
