the attention of the legislator to the want of
this provision.

its functions. The President’s Office is—
To receive the Emperor’s rescripts^ and to
deliver them to the Senate ;
To accept the reports of the Senate
addressed to His Majesty, and to forward them
to the office of the Finnish Secretary of
State ;
To supervise the progress of the work of
the Senate, in order to see that the laws are
observed and the Emperor’s orders executed,
for which purpose the Governor-General not
only receives all the reports of the
referendary-secretaries on the business in hand, but
also, for each half-yearly period, full accounts
of the matters discussed and the resolutions
come to by the Senate, as well as financial
accounts.
