The following case was submitted by me for Mr. J. C. Martin's opinion:—

Re Wesleyan Native Institution.

During the war the Institution at the Three Kings was closed.

The Maori missionaries in the out-districts continued at their posts and performed their duties.

They were paid maintenance or sustenance moneys from the Fund.

Rev. Thos. Buddle's Report is submitted as proof as to what the Institution was established for.

Question : Were these payments legal ?
