§ MR. HADFIELDsaid, he rose to move for eave to bring in a Bill to amend the law relative to the conveyance of land for charitable uses. This Bill was in substance approved of by the highest authorities and by hon. Members on both sides of the House. It was not for the purpose of enabling persons to devise property by will in weak moments and in their dying hours, but simply to enable conveyances to be taken for various charitable purposes, schools, and places of worship. There were at least 30,000 of such institutions in the country, all of which were affected by the mortmain laws, and some of which in consequence existed upon uncertain title.
