address from the House of Commons,! it appears that there
are no grants in respect of religious services in the Colony
of Newfoundland, nor is any money paid out of public funds
for the maintenance of such services, or for the building or
repair of places of worship.
In the Commonwealth of Australia a few small payments
are still made in New South Wales to clergymen under
Schedule C of the Constitution, but further grants were
abolished in 1862.
There is no public assistance given to religion in Victoria
other than payments to visiting chaplains to hospitals for
the insane, and visiting chaplains to the various prisons.
There is no expenditure on religious services in Queensland
or in South Australia. The only expenditure is incurred in
providing religious services in the Adelaide jail and the
labour prisons at Yatala.
In Western Australia the only provision is for services in
the lunatic asylum and in jails.
In Tasmania, the last Colonial chaplain died on April 25,
1902, from which date ceased the contributions made to
the Church of Rome, the Wesleyan Church, and the Free
Church of Scotland. After December 31, 1902, the payments
which had been made to the Church of England—£100 a year
—and to the Church of Rome—£70 a year—for the purposes
of supplying chaplains for the prisoners and insane, ceased.
In New Zealand the only expenditure is a sum of under £50
a year for the carriage hire, &c., of ministers of religion
conducting services at mental hospitals.
In the Cape of Good Hope, prior to 1895, the sum of
£16,060 was annually reserved by the Schedule to the Consti-
tution Ordinance of 1852, for the services of religious worship.
The Act No. 5 of 1875,2 which took effect on June 30 of that
year, repealed the Schedule, and while securing the con-
tinuance of the salaries of the then incumbents until death
or resignation, provided that should any minister die or
resign within five years from the taking effect of the Act,
