and profits, called " The New Dotation, 'granted by the
three existing Crown grants of the 4th day of August,
1547, the 7th day of Oct., 1547, and the 30th day of Aug.,
1559, for the maintenance and other exigencies of the.
Military Knights of Windsor, as established by the two
acts of Parliament 39th and 40th Elizabeth, c. 9, and
Ist James, c. 31, and further established by the act 3d
and 4th Vic., c. 113. The Dean and Chapter of Wind-
sor held these lands in trust for the Military Knights,
but, instead of appropriating the whole of the rents to
the use of the Military Knights, they simply paid them
ls. a day each, and applied the rest to their own private
purposes. Now that was most unjust, and he therefore
called upon the house to take the step that he proposed
for investigating the claims of the military knights
which were based upon a deed bearing date the 4tll of
