Constitution of Mauritius (1885)
The British colony of Mauritius received a new constitution by letters patent on 16 September 1885. It established a Council of Government of 27 members: eight ex officio members, nine appointed by the governor (at least three of which could not be officials), and ten elected (one per district, but two from Port Louis). The franchise was restricted to men, and there were property and education qualifications designed to exclude the vast majority of Indians.
