1 Preamble McLean Institute Act 1930 Reprinted as at 12 October 1930 And whereas the said will provides, inter alia, that the “Holly Lea” property and fur- niture therein mentioned, and the residue of the trust funds of the testator, subject to the provisions thereinbefore contained, should be held by the trustees of the will upon trust for the purposes of a public institution or benevolent asylum for destitute women to be called the McLean Institute, and that the Institution should be open: (a) (b) as to the “Holly Lea” property and furniture, only to gentlewomen or women of refinement or education in reduced or straitened circumstances, and the chil- dren, not being over the age of 10 years, of any such gentlewomen or women, the testator’s special intention being that the “Holly Lea” property should be reserved exclusively for the use of gentlewomen or women (including their children as aforesaid) who either by their birth, education, previous life, or manner might be able to live in harmony under the same roof; as to the rest of the Institution not represented by the “Holly Lea” property and furniture, to persons of the female sex not being under the age of 18 years and to the children not being over the age of 10 years of any such persons, but no person should be admitted to the Institution but such as were poor and of good character and such as had been resident in the colony for a period of 3 years at least prior to the application for admission and who were not and had not been in receipt of a pension under the Old-age Pensions Act 1898, or any statutory amendment thereof, at any time during the term of 3 years immediately before admission or in receipt of aid from the Charitable Aid Board or other public institution having the control of the distribution of charitable aid at any time during the term of 3 years immediately before admission: And whereas by the McLean Institute Act 1909, the Board of Governors to the Insti- tute which had been appointed as provided by the said will was thereby incorporated
 under the name of the McLean Institute as a body corporate with a perpetual succes- sion and a common seal, and it was in the said Act provided that nothing therein con- tained should prejudice or affect the provisions of the said will and codicil or any- thing therein contained except so far as the same were expressly altered or modified by or were inconsistent with the said Act, the intention of the Act being that (except to such extent as therein provided) the said will and codicil should remain in full force and virtue: And whereas it has been found by experience that one effect of the disqualification from admission to the Institution of those who are or have been in receipt of a pension under the Old-age Pensions Act 1898, or any statutory amendment thereof, or of char- itable aid at any time during the term of 3 years immediately before admission has been to disqualify from admission persons who apart from such disqualification be- long to the particular class which the said testator by the tenor of his or her said will appears to have intended to benefit, owing to such persons being compelled by ex- treme poverty to make application for old-age pension or charitable aid while await- ing admission to the Institution: And whereas the provisions of the said will do not empower the Institute to sell the said “Holly Lea” property and furniture: 2 Reprinted as at 12 October 1930 McLean Institute Act 1930 s 3 And whereas in the event of the opportunity arising to acquire more suitable premises for the purpose of the Institution, or in the event of the Institute finding it advisable to erect more suitable premises on other Institution lands, it may become more desirable to sell the said “Holly Lea” property and furniture or part thereof: And whereas it is desirable that the Institute should have power out of the annual in- come of the Institution to make weekly payments to applicants for admission in cer- tain cases.
