Registrar of the Supreme Court, appointed by Government,
Francis Parry, Esquire, and Robert J. Walker, Esquire,
elected
by the Seat-renters.
The property of St. Stephen's Mission Chapel is vested also in Trustees nominated by the representative of the Church Missionary Society. They are the Honorable W. T. Mercer, the Rev. Thomas Stringer, and Julius C. Paver, Esquire.
There
are
Churches at the Consular
Ports, which I have mentioned, but I
am
not
aware in whom the property
vests, except that I believe Her Majesty's
Consul at each port
has
some voice in its control;
There
are no
Colonial Charters in this
Colony relating to the Churches and
Clergy of the United Church of England and Ireland, their appointments and
stipends, or their Synodical powers of meeting
(1). The designation assigned by Her Majesty's Letters Patent of 11th May 1869 to the Bishop of this Diocese is the Lord Bishop of Victoria, whilst I am
not aware
of any particular designations to be applied by law to any of the Clergy.
I have
only to add that,
as regards this Diocese I can confirm the
accuracy of the Return of Colonial Bishops
laid before Parliament on 28th
July, 1869,
