I wish the hospital to be quite self-supporting and that my executors, including my brother, should be members f the commutes as also the Bishop of the Diocese, the Colonial Chaplain and the ii. ister of the Union Church and their successors in office for all time in their sant qualities. I wish that monthly meetings of the committee shall be heid. I desire that the hospital shall in all this be considered to be established as an abs lutely religious and evangelistic institution That religious services be held twice daily and that every effort be inade to direct the minds of the patients to the gospel. So far as is possible, I wish that services rendered to the hospital should-like its foundation-be wholly gratuitous and without reward-possibly by a rotition of officers-that no religious services should be paid for and that the inst tution be for the glory of God and the good of man and not for the story of the medical profession in any way. That it be for the ben. fit, care and happiness of patients primarily who are helpless and not for that either of superintend ing or general officers of the profession, nurses or subordinate persons who may be employer for salaries or wages, and emphatically that the hospital be for the poor, the helpless, the forsaken and for him who is alone and desolate. i desire that the office of superintending surgeon be in the hands of the committee and that the committee shall be and hereby constitute them trustees. I wish that different classes be provided for and that the hospital be reserved for British, American and European patients, with some very im ted discretion for the directors, but excluding Chinese, Portuguese and japanese, who are well able to make arrangements for hospital accommodation on the hills if they see fit, and for whom this hospital would be far too limited.

of such properly, the next of kin that the dear residue was far in excess of the amount ressonably required to erect and maintain the hospital contemplated by the testator. With regard to that hospital, it seemed that on 30th March, 1901, Kural Building Lot, No. 16, on Mount Kellett, in the Peak District was purchased as a site for its erection, at a cost of $70,000, which sum had been paid out of the estate. The erection is being proceeded with, in tccordance with plans and a specification prepared by s'essrs. l'ala.e and Tuner, architects ad surveyors of this Colony, and under ther supervision. The contract for completion ready for occupation, including residences for the house surgeon and nurses, mortuary, and all necessary buildings and outhouses and servans' and colic quarters, as p r plans, amounts to 1:50,007. When to these amounts of $70,00 and $150,000, is added all other expenditure for the proper equipment, furnishing, fiting, surgical struments, neces surivs for the dispensary, and other requis tes it is estimated, according to the affi lavits filed, that, the total cost will amount in 546-8 leaving only further provision to be made for According to the estimates mentioned in the affidavit of Mr. E. .
