HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
John Ambulance Brigade Overseas and to incorporate the Director for the time being of the Ambulance Department of the order of St. John in Hong Kong and the Treasurer and Secretary for the time being of the Hong Kong Branch of the St. John Ambulance Associa- tion as Custodian Trustees". He said: The St. John Ambulance Association is a foundation of an Order at present designated the Grand Priory in the British Realm of the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John Jerusalem and is incorporated by Royal Charter.
The St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas is a subsidiary of that Order.
A Branch of the Association was established in Hong Kong in the year 1884, and a District of the Brigade in the year 1916.
The work of the Association is to train and certify pupils in the principles of first-aid and nursing and that of the Brigade to organise them on efficient lines when certified.
The success which the work of the Order in Hong Kong has met with is so well-known that it is unnecessary to enter into any details of it; the results speak for themselves.
The organisation has acquired property both movable and im- movable in this Colony and will agquire more from time to time.
The object of the proposed Ordinance is threefold, first to prevent unauthorised persons from holding themselves out as qualified members of the Order, Association or Brigade; secondly to incorporate the Director, Treasurer and Secretary and so obtain greater uniformity of control and stability and to ensure perpetual succession; and thirdly to take over all movable and immovable property now belonging to the organisation in this Colony.
The proposed Bill has been drafted by the legal advisers of the Order in England and has been approved by the Honourable Attorney General of this Colony.
THE HON. MR. R. H. KOTEWALL seconded, and the Bill was read a first time.
Objects and Reasons.
The "Objects and Reasons" for the Bill were stated as follows:
