§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEasked the Right honourable gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford, 481 If he will lay upon the Table of the House, a Copy of the Trust Deed mentioned in the preamble and in section 6 of the Hertford College, Oxford, Bill; and, when he proposes to bring on the Second Reading of the Bill?
§ MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSENasked, Whether it would not be advisable to reconsider the position which the Bill occupied, it being fixed for the 4th June—a Government night?
§ MR. MOWBRAYSir, no trust deed is mentioned or referred to in the Preamble or 6th section of the Bill. In fact, there is not any trust deed in existence relating to £30,000 mentioned in the Preamble. £30,000 has been transferred by the donor to the Chancellor of the University, and now stands in the Marquess of Salisbury's name solely upon trust, to hand over the same to the collegiate body to be incorporated by the Bill, and to be used for the endowment of Fellowships in Hertford College. No further condition can be imposed by the donor, and if the Bill passes, the money will be placed entirely beyond his control. Although the Bill has been put down for the 4th Juno, with the object of securing an early day for its discussion, it cannot be brought on before the 8th June.
