18th Report, WHEREAS the Charity Commissioners for England and

dated 27th Feb. 1871.

Scheme confirmed.

Wales in their Report to Her Majesty of their proceedings during the year one thousand eight hundred and seventy have reported that they have provisionally approved and certified (among other schemes for the application and management of charities) a scheme for "the several charities "founded by the settlement and will of Christopher Tancred, "of Whixley in the county of York, Esquire, deceased":

And whereas it is expedient that the scheme as the same is fully set out and defined in the schedule to this Act should be confirmed:

Be it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

1. The said scheme is hereby confirmed; provided always, that nothing in this Act or in the said scheme shall be held to interfere with the ordinary jurisdiction over endowed charities now exerciseable by the Court of Chancery and the Charity Commissioners.

SCHEDULE.

SCHEME

For the application and management of certain Charities founded by the settlement of Christopher Tancred, of Whixley in the county of York, Esquire, deceased.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any Act of Parliament or scheme now in force for the regulation of the charities, it shall be lawful for the Charity Commissioners, upon the application of the Governors, to establish a scheme providing for the following objects; viz.,— 1. The discontinuance of the Whixley Manor House as a hospital or place of residence for the pensioners, at such time or times, and in such manner, and subject to such provisions and regulations and the payment of such compensations as may be determined by the scheme, with a due regard to the rights and interests, pecuniary or residentiary, of the existing pensioners and officers of the charity:

2. Granting in future, out of that part of the income of the charity which is now appropriated to the pensioners, to twelve pensioners, qualified as specified in the settlement, out-pensions of eighty pounds a year in lieu of the residence at Whixley House and other emoluments; such pensions to be forfeited if alienated for debt, or otherwise, and to cease if it shall appear to the Governors that the continuance of them is from a change in the circumstances of the pensioners no longer required or from misconduct of the pensioners inexpedient: 3. Enabling the Governors with the sanction of the Commissioners to deal with the Whixley Manor House and appurtenances in such manner as may be considered from time to time desirable; and when the surplus of the pensioners part of the income of the charity, after paying such out-pensions as aforesaid, shall be sufficient for the purpose, to establish a school for the benefit primarily of the children of poor persons from those classes for whom the said Christopher Tancred founded his pensions :

4. Enabling the Society of Lincoln's Inn to appoint some member of their bench as their nominee to be a member of the corporation of the Governors in lieu of the treasurer of the society, and from time to time to vary such appointment.
