399
from the Trustees of St. John's
Cathedral to whom I have
referred for a report.
I am disposed to
concur in the views
of the Trustees, and would therefore,
with Your Lordship's sanction, propose to the Council
that $1500 be placed on the Estimate as
a reasonable contribution from the Colony for the Church
accommodation provided for the Troops.
3. Under Ordinances No. 2
of 1847, and 3 of 1850, the
Cathedral property is vested
in Trustees - four of whom
are appointed by the Governor and five by the Seat-holders. This body is well qualified to take charge of any
Funds which may be placed in their hands for Church purposes, and the grant
now referred to, if made, may very properly be added to such other Revenue under their control,
for which they give an annual account in the
Government Gazette.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient
humble Servant,
Governor
