HC Deb 24 March 1854 vol 131 cc1336-7

Order read, for resuming Adjourned Debate on Question [21st March],

Question again proposed—

MR. R. J. PHILLIMORE

said, he understood that the Government intended to accede to the Motion; but he felt it necessary to state that, after an examination of all the documents connected with the case, he was satisfied that the Dean and Chapter of Windsor had discharged their duty in the most upright manner; and he had no doubt that the present law officers of the Crown would confirm the opinion which had been come to by their predecessors.

Motion, by leave, withdrawn.

Address— Praying that Her Majesty will be graciously pleased to cause inquiry to be made, whether the rents and profits called 'The New Dotation,' granted by the three existing Crown Grants of the 4th day of August, 1547, the 7th day of October, 1547, and the 30th day of August, 1659, for the Maintenance and other exigencies of the Military Knights of Windsor, as established by the two Acts of Parliament 39 and 40 Elizabeth, c. 9, and 1 James, c. 31, and further established by the Act 3 and 4 Vic. c. 113, have been and are now duly appropriated.

The House adjourned at a quarter before One o'clock, till Monday next.
