Offic ial 241 for Northern China.

I have to acquaint Your Grace, with reference to my letter of the 30th March last, that the Law Officers having reported that it will be desirable that the Letters Patent creating the Bishopric of Victoria should be revoked, Letters Patent to effect that object will be passed at the earliest point possible, and when this has been effected, I shall be prepared to advise the issue of a Mandate for the consecration of a Bishop for foreign parts.

Is it the province of the Colonial Secretary to advise the Governor to issue a Mandate for the consecration of a Bishop in foreign parts, such as Northern China?

NM to the issue of a Mandate to consecrate a Bishop in the form of late a suffragan under the advice of the Law Officers of the Crown, by which as far as I am aware no territorial jurisdiction is conferred beyond the mere authority to consecrate.

K sept 22/72 We have nothing to do with the Bishop for China.

The mandate should be issued by the Archbishop, in his letter of July 4, to which this is an answer, it is stated that the sphere of jurisdiction is demarked and assigned to the Bishop.

I have added a few words to make this clear. #TH.
