Objects and Reasons.
The Daughters of Charity of the Canossian Institute (best known as the Italian Convent) have acquired land in the Colony for the purposes of carrying on their charitable work. Difficulties have arisen, and may hereafter arise, in holding and dealing with such land as it has, at present, to be vested in the name of some individual in trust for the Convent. In order to get over such difficulties it is desired that the Convent should be incorporated by Ordi- Similar incorporation has taken place in the past in the case of other Missions for similar reasons.

The present Bill effects such incorporation and contains the necessary provisions for evidencing the authority of the Mother Superioress for the time being.
