ATTORNEY-GEITERAL V. HARMAN.

This was an information, filed by the Attorney-Gene-
ral, the object of it being to obtain a new scheme for
the administration of a charity at Wickham, in Buck-
inghamshire, By a charter of Queen Elizabeth certain
lands were granted en trust to found a grammar school
at Wickham, and also for the maintenance of four poor
persons. A subsequent charter was granted by King
James, by which it was declared that the trusts should
extend also to the relief of other poor and needy men
of the said borough. The present revenue was 4001. a
year, and it was admitted, in the answer, that it would
shortly be increased by 1501. a year. The trustees are
the mayor, aldermen, and council, of the corporation of
the borough, and now and for some time past the dis-
position of the funds has been that 701. is allotted to
the support of the school, and the remainder has been
applied practically in diminution of the, parochial rates.
All that was asked for by the information was that there
should be a new scheme on the subject of the lichee!,
and that the usual accounts may be taken of what the
charity estate consists.
Mr. Loyd, with whom was Mr. White, who appeared
for the defendants, submitted that the suit was wholly"
unnecessary. New rules and ordinances were made for
the school in 1852, and he did not understand that they
were questioned.
Mr. Terrell said a serious question arose whether the
second charter, so far as it varied the trusts of the first
charter by including in them relief to the poor infinitely,
was
sn

His said he would consider a scheme is cham-
bers. The general principle on which the court pro-
ceeded in these cases was not to allow charity funds to
be applied in aid of the poor rate, but there was great
difficulty in carrying that principle ont.
