Honourable Member for South Windward : Your Honour,. Honourable
 Members, I beg leave to move the following motion standing in my name :-
 That this Council approves the introduction of a Bill for an Ordinance for
 the incorporation of certain persons as Trustees of the Mission known as the
 General Council of Co-operating Baptist Missions of North America.
.The object/of this bill,-Sir, is-to incorporate as a body the Trustees of the General
Council of Baptist Missions for the purpose of operating in St. Vincent in trust for
the Mission.
 These people are not British subjects or of British nationality, and, in order to
 be able to own or hold property, a bill such as this will have to be passed in the
 Legislative Council.
 There is precedent for this sort of bill, as a bill of similar nature was
 introduced some years ago.
 SI don't know myself why I was selected to introduce this bill, but perhaps it
 is because the Members of the Mission heard that I had serious aspirations once of
 going in for holy orders.
 Honourable Member for Leeward : Your Honour, Honourable Members, I beg
 leave to second the motion.
 Honourable Crown Attorney : I will have to study the bill further again; as I
 did not realise that the persons whom it is intended to incorporate are not British
 Subjects. I would, therefore, like to examine this aspect of the bill.,'
 President: Question as to ',whether introduction of this bill should be
 deferred-is put to the House.
 Honourable Meimber for South Windward : Could the bill not be introduced
 and left there? You don't usually throw out a bill like that.
 President : The question as to whether we grant leave to introduce the bill
*is before the House.
 Agreed to. .
 Bill read a first time
 President : I now call upon the Honourable Crown Attorney to move the
 introduction and-first reading of the Legislative Council (Elections) Bill, 1951.
 Honourable Crown Attorney : -Mr. President, Honourable Members of Council,
 I beg-leave to introduce and have read-for a first time a bill for an Ordinance to
 provide for the Registration of-Persons entitled to vote at Elections of Merff-ers of
 the Legislative Council, to regulate the Procedure at such Elections, and for other
 purposes in connection therewith.
 It is hardly necessary to dilate on the reasons of this Bill which are to provide
 for the registration, on the basis of universal adult suffrage, of voters, and to'
 regulate the procedure for elections.
 The Bill is based on the Trinidad Legislative Council (Elections) Ordinance
 No. 10 of 1946, with its amendments.
 Honourable Colonial Treasurer : I beg to second the motion.
