HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.

"without paying them are strange to us. We prefer the anti- "quated system by which debts must be paid in full, if not by “the debtor himself by his children or grand-children or other "descendants."

144. My opinion was recently asked by Her Majesty's Govern- ment as to the expediency of discontinuing the ecclesiastical grants which are paid to the Colonial Chaplain and sexton of the Church of England. I have reported in favour of maintaining them.

145. A certain number of the Government officials are members of the Church of England, and no doubt they accepted office expecting to receive gratuitous religious ministrations.

146. Though the wealthiest and most numerous class of rate- payers, the Chinese, get no benefit from the Colonial Chaplain, they have not the slightest objection to see his salary on the Estimates: The few Chinese who trouble themselves about such matters say that this is a Crown Colony and that Her Majesty is the Head of the Church of England, and that they therefore have no desire to see any discontinuance of the ecclesiastical grants.

The Right Hon. The Earl of Kimberley,

&c.

&c.

I have, &c. (Signed) J. POPE HENNESSY.
