ouap. 1] THE CHURCH IN THE DOMINIONS 1449 the ground of the refusal was not any special desire to en- force contributions for religious purposes. In the case of the Australian Colonies? reservations for religious purposes were included in the Constitution Acts of New South Wales of 1855, Victoria of 1855, and Tasmania of 1854, but no such provision was included in the Constitu- tion of South Australia of 1856, where there had always been strong opposition to the English Church ; nor in the case of Western Australia, when in due course in 1890 it was consti- tuted. In the case of Queensland the Act of 1867 in Schedule A provided £1,000 for public worship. But in all cases it was laid down that the appropriation for public worship was not a matter in which the Imperial Government desired to insist upon their own views, and it was open for the Parliaments of the Colonies to repeal the amount reserved in the Schedules, or to alter them as they thought fit, and the amount was distributed among the several de- nominations by the action of the Government according to the principles of concurrent proportionate endowment. In 1862 (No. 19) after a struggle with the Upper House the grant was revoked in New South Wales, with a saving of existing rights. In the case of Tasmania a Bill of 1859 for this purpose was disallowed, but later on, in 1868, when the Act was re-enacted, it received sanction? Similarly an Act (No. 3) of 1860 ended it in Queensland. In the case of Victoria the Upper House for many years prevented the repeal of the appropriation for religious services under the Constitution, but eventually in 1871 No. 391) it also assented to the change being made. In the case of New Zealand no appropriation for religion was included in the Constitution Act, nor was such appro- priation made in Newfoundland.

It gave a capital sum to each of the religious lenominations which had participated in the grant of £15,000 a year.
