WHAT IS A CROWN COLONY?
A Crown colony is an overseas possession of the British Crown, controlled by the Colonial Office. Crown colonies, or groups of Crown colonies, have resident governors or administrators appointed by the Crown. There is a difference between the rule of the Governor-General of a. selfgoverning Dominion, such as New Zealand, and that of the Governor of a Crown colony. The Governor of a Crown colony is a real ruler, who need not act according to the advice of local officials, but is subject to instructions from the Colonial Office.
