Objects and Reasons.

1. The Tung Wab Hospital was incorporated on the 30th March, 1870, by Ordinance No. 1 of 1870. The incorporation thereby effected was of "such and so many persons (being of Chinese origin) as may become donors of any sum not under ten dollars to the funds of the said Hospital and whose maines are entered upon the register of mem- bers bereinafter provided" (section 2).

A Board of Direction was formed, and it was provided that the directors should be elected as occasion might require by a majority of votes of members who were within the Colony at the time of such election.

2. It appears that no register of members has ever been kept. Since the Hospital has all along been supported in the main by voluntary subscriptions by Chinese in the Colony and from overseas, it seems obvious that those who are entitled under Ordinance No. 1 of 1870 to become members must be too numerous for a register of them to be kept, and in point of fact there have never been any "members" within the meaning of the incorporation Ordinance.
