§ SIR JOHN T. BRUNNER (Cheshire, Northwich)I beg to ask the hon. Member for the Thirsk Division of Yorkshire, as representing the Charity Commissioners, whether he is aware that considerable dissatisfaction has been expressed in the parish of Weston at the refusal of the Vicar of Runcorn to make public the details of the distribution of the Orred's Charity of which he is trustee; and whether, if the Charity Commissioners consider that there are objections to the practice of giving these details at a parish meeting, they would recommend the Vicar of Runcorn to associate some representative or representatives of the Weston Parish Council with himself in the distribution of this charity?
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY CHARITY COMMISSIONER (Mr. J. GRANT LAWSON,) Yorkshire, N.R., Thirsk and MaltonA representative of the Parish Council was appointed a trustee of Orred's Charity on the 14th August, 1896, in pursuance of an Order of the Charity Commissioners. The Commissioners believe the trustees are carrying out Section 14 (6) of the Parish Councils Act in reference to the accounts of parochial charities.
