§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction with the administration of the Charlton Endowment Charity, in Meath, Westmeath, and Longford; whether some endowments are given by a system of chance, some by favour; and if he will say by whom the administrators are appointed, and in whom rests the power of introducing an impartial scheme of administration?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI am not aware of any dissatisfaction with the administration of this endowment, which is conducted under a scheme framed in pursuance of the Educational Endowments (Ireland) Act, 1885. The power of altering the scheme rests with the Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests.
