46. Each colonial council decides the validity of the election of its members
 as well as of those reasons for declining to accept an election which a newly elected
 member might request to have finally settled in this manner, after they have been
 rejected according to 31 and 33. The colonial council shall likewise decide
 questions regarding the withdrawal of its members according to 34. No member
 can be dismissed from any of the colonial councils against his will, except in such
 cases as are mentioned in 34, or those to be stated in the rules of business; the
 colonial council must, however, with a vote of two thirds of the members voting
 propose to the Governor the dismissal of the member, and this must be approved of by
 the Governor. The dismissal of a member appointed by the king himself can only be
 decided by a royal resolution.

 election has been declared valid, must sign a declaration in writing, binding himself on
 oath to perform with conscientious fidelity all the duties that are incumbent upon him in
 that capacity.

 and not by any directions from their electors.

 transferred to each respective colonial treasury, viz: from the Land-Treasury of
 St. Croix to the colonial treasury of St. Croix and from the Land-Treasuries of
 St. Thomas and St. Johns to the colonial treasury of St. Thomas. The obligations of
 the respective Land-Treasuries and the expenses which according to existing rules
 would have to be borne by them, are to be assumed by the respective colonial
 treasuries.

 51. The property, real and moveable, belonging to the State-Treasury in the
Danish West India Islands and intended for the use of the state-service, and not
appertaining to the state-property under the denomination "Statsactiverne" or to any
branch of the administration not heretofore under the colonial Government, shall be
transferred to the colonial treasuries, to which shall also accrue the revenues of the
Islands which in conformity with the colonial budget and in accordance with the rules
hitherto in force would have been paid into the State-Treasury in such manner that
each of the colonial treasuries receives such of these revenues as arise from any
source of revenue in the municipality concerned. The revenue arising from fees and
collected by the superior administration in the mother-country or in the Islands and by
the upper court of justice, shall be divided between the colonial treasuries, according
as the cases in question concern or emanate from the one or the other municipality.
