Hopetoun's decision, known as the Hopetoun Blunder, can be defended on grounds that Lyne had seniority.

On Thursday February 20, 1817, during a severe electrical storm James Braid, then surgeon at Lord Hopetoun's mines at Leadhills, Lanarkshire, had an extraordinary experience whilst on horseback:

Hopetoun's immediate task was to appoint a Prime Minister to form an interim government, which would take office on 1 January 1901.

Though newspapers and politicians were divided on who was to blame for the sudden resignation, and many tried to dissuade Hopetoun from his decision, ultimately it became clear that Hopetoun's perceptions that the Governor-General would be a position analogous to the Viceroy of India or similar elaborate position were out of touch with public perceptions of the role.

Upon Hopetoun's return to Britain, King Edward VII recognized his service by bestowing upon him the title of 1st Marquess of Linlithgow on 27 October 1902.

Tennyson was the senior state Governor and thus became acting Governor-General upon Hopetoun's departure on 17 July.

Lady Hopetoun had suffered a relapse of her condition during the trip across Australia, adding further to Hopetoun's personal troubles.

Disputes emerged between Hopetoun and several state governors — particularly South Australian governor Lord Tennyson, who would be Hopetoun's successor — over the Governor-General's right of access to dispatches and communiqués of the state governors.

Barton himself admitted to some influence from the Governor-General: though initially Barton was reluctant to commit support to the Boer War, communications by Hopetoun to the Colonial Office in December 1901 revealed that Barton's position had been changed in favour of committing support and that change had most likely been driven by Hopetoun's efforts.

Hopetoun's popularity in Victoria and his friendship with leading Australian politicians made him a logical choice to be the first Governor-General of Australia.

Although Hopetoun's brief and frictional time in office revitalized some debate over whether the position should be a locally elected one, successors in the role quickly realized and conformed with the relative modesty which the position demanded and the system of British appointments continued.

Official visits to the states often incurred significant local expenses often not reimbursed by the Commonwealth, causing ructions in State-Federal relations until a resolution was reached in 1905, well after Hopetoun's term expired.

Hopetoun's attempts to serve Australia as a glamorous figure of the British Empire had brought him into conflict with domestic politics and ultimately were cause for the abrupt end to his term.

Hopetoun's time as Governor-General came to an abrupt and embarrassing end after a dispute over the financial arrangements for the office emerged in mid-1902.

Braid was appointed surgeon to Lord Hopetoun's mines at Leadhills, Lanarkshire, in 1816 ; and in 1825 he set up in private practice at Dumfries.

Already in poor health during the preceding years in England, the trip further diminished Hopetoun's capacities.

Intercolonial rivalries and traditional suspicions in Sydney of the excessive influence of Melbourne over national affairs were cause for some complex manoeuvres during Hopetoun's arrival.

A debate resulted in parliament which was generally critical, or at least tacitly disapproving, of Hopetoun's comments.

Hopetoun's use of the assent power to negotiate changes in Commonwealth legislation was effective and skilfully deployed so as to avoid public confrontation over the issue.

One reason that this emulation was so successful is that many of the APIs for the Mac OS were originally implemented as traps on the 680x0 processor ; therefore, calling an API actually was recognised by the 680x0 as the equivalent of an error condition, which would cause it to handle that error through one of its hardware vectors.
