1. I have examined the accompanying Ordinance. intituled an Ordinance to make certain provisions relating to the
corporation named The Tung Wah Hospital, and I am of
opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's instructions.
2.
The Tung Wah Hospital was incorporated on the 30th
March, 1870, by Ordinance No. 1 of 1870. The incorporation thereby effected was of "such and so many persons (being of
Chinese origin) as may become donors of any sum not under
ten dollars to the funds of the said Hospital and whose names are entered upon the register of members hereinafter provided" (section 2).
