§ Captain CLIVEasked the hon. Member for the Barnstaple Division, as representing the Charity Commissioners, whether, in accordance with the unanimous wish of the people of Kingstone, the Charity Commissioners could see their way to alter the imposition in their scheme of a £15 limit to the spending of charities amounting to over £46 on the objects for which they were left by their founders?
§ Mr. E. J. SOARESThe answer is in the negative. These charities, amounting to £44 6s. 6d., have not been expended as directed by the founders, but have been applied in indiscriminate doles in some cases to able-bodied men in receipt of full wages.
