The Objects and Reasons" state- -The object of this Bill is to fill up certain lacus in the express provisions of the Principal Ordinance in order the better to carry out its spirit and general intention, and to make the law clearer on certain points on which the construction of the Principal Ordinance might possibly give rise
of those parts of His Majesty's dominions which contribute to its funds that it is in possible to undertake investigations on any considerable scale for private individuals and arms without adding to the technical staff, and therefore to the general exponser of the Institute. But, having decided to 66 moet what I believe to be a growing demand for such work, I ain authorising the Im perial Institute to undertake in future for
