Special Features

The wording of this instrument is essentially the same as the Royal Warrant issued to new Lord Chancellors (cf. the <a href="https://cbaionline.org/corpus/items/show/38" title="Royal Warrant issued to Shabana Mahmood">Royal Warrant issued to Shabana Mahmood</a>). The only difference is that the first paragraph refers to "things directed to you Our Chancellor of Great Britain before the demise of Our Royal Father King George the Sixth and since Our succession to the Throne instead of "things directed to Our late Lord Chancellor of Great Britain". <br /><br />This document also a reference to "Injunctions, Decrees, and Dismissions" which also appears in the Royal Warrant issued to new Lord Chancellors. However, these documents do not require the Monarch's personal authorization to pass the Great Seal so it's not clear why the new Monarch has to re-authorize their sealing. It could be an example of formalism trumping logic.
