Report on Ordinance
ca to
No 18
of 1902.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
541
An Ordinance to provide for the Incorporation of the
Church Body of the Chinese Anglican Church in Hongkong,
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's Instructions.
The Chinese Members of the Anglican Communion in Hongkong, being now in a position to pay their own Pastors and in other ways to support their own Pastoral work, regulations have been drawn up for self-support and self-government and, as Hongkong contains several Churches and Chapels, it has been considered advisable to form Vestries to administer the affairs of each Church or Chapel, and to form a Church Body to administer the affairs of the whole native Anglican Church in Hongkong.
A Church Body having been duly constituted and appointed in accordance with the Regulations of the Chinese Branch of the Anglican Communion in Hongkong, it is wished to have it constituted a Corporation under the laws of the Colony for the purpose of holding and transferring property and for the other purposes mentioned in the Bill. The usual clause as to saving the rights of the Crown is inserted.
Attorney General.
