§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREasked whether the bequest of Gabriel Goodman to the church of St. Peter at Ruthin, Denbighshire, in the year 1595, consisting of property purchased by Gabriel Goodman from John Bates and Henry Welles, of London, for the sum of £1,558 10s., will be treated as a private benefaction under the Established Church (Wales) Bill; and whether this bequest will be treated as national property and alienated from its original object to secular uses?
§ Mr. McKENNAI have no information as to this bequest, but as the hon. Member is aware, under the Bill as it stands, all benefactions before 1662 are treated as national property.
