WHEREAS by section one of an Act passed in the forty-sixth year of the reign of Her late Majesty Queen Victoria intituled "An Act to establish and regulate a Permanent Fund in connexion with the Old Colonists' Association of Victoria"[1] as modified by the Old Colonists' Association Act 1938 there was established by law and rendered indefeasible and vested in the trustees for the time being of the Old Colonists' Association of Victoria (hereinafter called "the Association") a permanent fund consisting inter alia initially of the whole, and from the thirty-first day of October One thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight three-quarters, of all donations and bequests not otherwise specially directed by the donors thereof to be applied:
