The original Statutes of St. Paul's College were altered by Bishop Burdon in agreement with Mr. Smith, the then Acting Colonial Secretary, shortly after the Ordinance passed the Legislative Council. The Statutes with the alterations made and signed by Bishop Burdon and the Acting Colonial Secretary were then forwarded to the Archbishop of Canterbury for his consideration, and His Grace having approved the alterations, signed the revised Statutes, which were then published in the Government Gazette.
