TAKEN BEFORE FINANCE COMMITTEE: 1828 5
John W. Warren,
Esq.
18 March,
1828.
In cases where abuses have been discovered, what course have the commis-
sioners taken to put an end to those abuses?—The commissioners have in fact no
remedial powers; they are only to inquire and report; but they have, where it
appeared that the abuse could be remedied in that way, endeavoured to do so by
representation to the parties, and pointing out to them in what manner their duty
ought to be performed, Rectified abuses no reported and in very numerous cases their representations have been
attended to, the misconduct has been corrected; that is a good resulting from the
labours of the commissioners which does not always appear from their Reports; it
has been silently performed, and will so have escaped public notice ; where the
abuse has been such as it was out of their power to correct, they have, under the
directions of the Act, submitted those cases to the attorney-general, that he might
decide whether they should be brought before the Court of Chancery in the shape
of an information. Attorney-General
decides whether to
prosecute
Has it occurred to you and the other commissioners that any board of controlling
authority could be established locally in each county, with a view of preventing the
abuses in the future occurring?—No idea of that kind has been under consideration;
among the commissioners it has been very much under consideration with them
what methods could be adopted for preventing some of the mischiefs that have
arisen in the management of the charities, such as some mode of appointing trus-
tees where all the former trustees are dead, or there is likely to be such a failure;
For trust deeds
no registration.
from such failures in past times we find many charities lost, or in a state of obscu-
rity, which we have with difficulty developed:
