CdARITABLE FOUNDATIONS.
On the Order tit the Day having been read for
the third reading of the Charitable Foundations
Mr. BROUGIIAM said, the Bill before the [louse
came very near the original Bill funned by himself,
which lie wished to have paned lan Session, but
which had undergone various and most insiertal
alterations before being enacted into a law. Like
.that migniel Bill, this changed the number of Sti-
pendiary Commissioners necessary to constitute a
Board from three to two; thus diminishing the ex-
pense attendant on each Board discharging its
Insidious. and increasing their number. For
whereas, by the Act of last Session, it was neces.
wiry to add one honorary Commissiouer to the
paid ones to form three Board', the last alone now
were sufficient to constitute live Boards, which
could sit and carry on their inquiries at the same
time. Then, in the present Bill, power was given to
the Commissioners to send for persons, pullers, and
vecords, which. though it did not extend so far as
the provision of his Bill, would probably be found
effectual for its object, inasmuch as the Commis.
stoners were in effect armed with authority to inflict
a line in carer of resistance. But the greatest im-
provement in the measure consisted in its retentio;

sequences of what had been yet done, would, th-
retily, and indirectly. greatly facilitate the uh-

etight to lie acted on, to make the whale of the
*primes incurred in the investigation fall in the
end on the funds recovered. He had computed
