from a Crown Lease and no order could be obtained without the
license of the Crow. Or at least the order would be subject
to a license being obtained. On the other hand if the license
is obtained a sale might be effected without the expense of
legal proceedings.
20. At the time the trust was founded there were no other means
of educating native clergy but at the present day there are
several institutions in the Colony at which preliminary training
can be obtained, to all of which the Bishop of Victoria is in
the same relationship as he was to the original college, and any
scheme for the foundation of an institution for the complete
training of native clergy on the site of the trust property
would require a provision of funds which cannot now be obtained.
21. The proposed scheme would provide for a finishing school
under the immediate supervision of the warden and would provide
funds for the maintenance of the other buildings and for training
facilities in other institutions and at the same time relieve
the trust of the burden of the upkeep of the warden's residence
which has become a liability.
Your Petitioner therefore humbly prays
that the License of the Crown may be
granted for the sale of that portion of
Inland Lot No. 76 upon which the Warden's
residence and the grounds occupied there-
with are situate free from the restrictive
covenant contained in the existing Crown
Lease of the property.
And Your Petitioner will ever pray etc.
Dated the
17th 20

Bishop of Victoria (Hongkong)
