Objects and Reasons.
At the annual meeting of seatholders and subscribers of St. John's Cathedral Church which was held in January, 1898, a wish was expressed that the Church Body should procure an amendment of the St. John's Cathedral Ordi- nance, 1892, by making the tenure of office of lay members of the Church Body annual instead of permanent. But when a draft Bill for this purpose was about to be prepared it was thought better to endeavour to procure the repeal of the existing Ordinance and the re-enactment of a new one. Accordingly the present Bill has been prepared by the Church Body and approved by the seatliolders and sub- scribers at the annual meeting held in Jauuary last.
Beyond the amendment already referred to, the only alterations made by the Bill on the existing law are those of arrangement and phraseology.
