4. The combination of sections 17 and 18 can easily be effected if desirable. The nature of the Regulations proposed to be made under Section 20 seems to be misapprehended. It will be observed that the power to regulate, applies :- (a) To the management and administration of the trust estates (qua"estates"), subject to the special provisions of the Act. (b) To the mode of application and expenditure of the reserves, arising from the trust estates (qua"revenues"), but not inconsistently with any declared trusts or purposes. Now under this power, the Governor could, if desirable, from such trust estates as are mentioned in the 13th. Section of the Bill submitted to me, devote the revenues derivable, to any of the purposes indicated in that section, or to any other purpose which might, from time to time, appear desirable; whilst in the case of estates, in respect of which trusts have been actually declared, the power of regulating cannot be exercised in a manner inconsistent with, or repugnant to such trusts. It may be as well to amend the 20th. Section, by introducing the words "if any" after the words "trusts of purposes" in the 8th. line, and adding the following proviso. "And provided also that no part of any reserve (Native) or of the revenues arising from the same, shall in or by such regulations be made applicable otherwise than for the benefit of the person or persons for the time being beneficially interested therein respectively."
