HL Deb 20 April 1848 vol 98 c534

The BISHOP of OXFORD wished to put to the noble and learned Lord on the Woolsack a question on a subject of very great interest to the country—he meant the subject of Charitable Trusts. He thought he had understood the noble and learned Lord to say, that with respect to minor charities he saw no great difficulty in introducing some measure for their better regulation; and he wished to ask the noble and learned Lord whether he was able to give any hope that in this Session of Parliament he would introduce such a measure?

The LORD CHANCELLOR was understood to say, that with respect to the minor charities it was his intention to introduce a measure for their better regulation, and he hoped he should be able to pass it in the present Session.
