tures. very important event in the annals of the Moham- medan Community in this Colony. Time does not permit me to delve into past history but I would like to briefly outline some of the facts connected with our OWN Com munity. It is not to be forgotten that we were one of the first
settlers to take part in the Colony's activities SCOD after British occupation. It may not be known to many of us of the pre- sent generation that it was more than 86 years ago that the ground upon which this Mosque is " built, was leased to the Mohammedan Community. To be more precise, I would mention that the Crown Lease was dated 23rd September 1850, the first Trustees being the late Shaik Moosdeen, Moharumed "Arab, Shalk Carthar and Hassan Malay. There were several other trusteeships since, the necessary changes being caused by effluxion of time, absence from the Colony, or death. There were four Trus- tees in the past but since the year 1911 the number of Trustees was increased to six.
