CHARITY COMMISSION, 1849.

The following is the first report of the Commission
appointed last year :
We, the Commissioners appointed by your Ma-
jesty's Royal Commission, bearing date the 18th day
of September, 1849, to inquire into those cases which
were investigated by and reported upon by the Charity
Commissioners, but not certified to the Attorney-
General, and to report what proceedings, if any,
should be taken thereupon, do humbly report as
follows :
We have, in obedience to your Majesty's com-
mands, proceeded to inquire into the subject referred
to us.
Although our inquiries have been necessarily limi-
ted to a comparatively small portion of this exten-
sive subject, we have decided to report upon a certain
number of selected cases, which appear to us to re-
quire immediate interference or regulation. These
cases, with the information we have obtained respect-
ing them, are contained in the schedule annexed to
this report, and we recommend that they should be
laid before your Majesty's Attorney-General, in order
that he may proceed to deal with them in such man•
ner as he may judge to be expedient.
The number of charities on which reports were
made by the late Commissioners is 28,840 ; of these
about 400 were certified to the Attorney-General,
and about the same number have been, subsequently
to the year 1838, the subject of proceedings before
the Court of Chancery at the instance of relators or
petitioners. We have only a very partial and imper-
fect record of the cases coming under this last descrip-
tion, between 1819 and 1838, owing to the destruc-
tion by fire of the papers.
The 28,840 charities reported by the late Commis-
sioners, if classified according to income as nearly as
can be ascertained from the printed reports, will stand
thus
