The King can, with the exception mentioned in 69, dismiss Officials appointed by Him. Pensions for such Officials shall be fixed by the Colonial Pension-Law or Ordinance. An Official who is removed elsewhere against his will, has the right of demanding his dismissal with a pension according to the general rules. 10. The Danish West India Islands comprise two Districts of Administration, viz: The Island of St. Croix and the adjacent Islets and the Island of St. Thomas with St. Jan and their adjacent Islets. The Governor is the Superior Authority for both districts. He may entrust, on his own responsibility, the daily current business of administration in the district in which at any time he is not personally present, to the Government Secretary or the Despatching Secretary. 11. The Governor shall see that the Laws are obeyed, and that all the Officials and their Assistants fulfil their duties, and he is entitled, whenever he considers it necessary, to cause their official protocols to be laid before him for examination. The Governor is authorized to suspend Officials appointed by the King. In such cases, however, there shall, within 14 days after, be either instituted a suit against the official for the forfeiture of his office, or legal investigation be instituted regarding his conduct, or a representation be made to the Minister for effecting his final dismissal. In case of the death of any Official holding Royal Appointment, or in case of an Official's absence from the Islands, or his temporary appointment to another office, or in case of his suspension, the Governor shall, temporarily appoint another person to the Office. 12. The Governor is Commander in Chief of all the armed forces in the Islands. In case of emergency the Governor has authority, on his own responsibility, to declare the Islands either entirely or partially in a state of siege, and to exercise unlimited power. Whenever this has taken place, and after good order and tranquility has been reestablished, it is incumbent on the Governor to make a statement thereof to the respective Colonial Council at its next meeting. This statement together with the remarks of the respective Colonial Council must be communicated by the Home Government to the Diet in its approximate meeting.
