e service therein, or,

(_e_.) Otherwise for the benefit of any particular church or
denomination, or of any members thereof as such (Sec. 75, i).

Any endowment of a charity other than a building held in part only for
some of the purposes aforesaid, will be dealt with by the Charity
Commissioners on the application of any person interested.

The expression, Ecclesiastical Charity, includes any building which in
the opinion of the Charity Commissioners has been erected or provided
within forty years before the passing of this Act, mainly by or at the
cost of members of any particular church or denomination.

The expression, affairs of the church, includes the distribution of
offertories or other collections made in any church (sec. 75).

the Act, means a charity the benefits of which are, or the separate
distribution of the benefits of which is, confined to the inhabitants of
a single parish, or of a single ancient ecclesiastical parish divided

property relating to affairs of the Church or held for an Ecclesiastical
charity, are also in rural parishes transferred to the Parish Council.

relating to the affairs of the Church or to Ecclesiastical charities,
except documents directed by law to be kept with the public books,
writings, and papers of the parish, remains as provided by law before the

incumbent.

The Parish Council have a right to reasonable access to all such books
and documents referred to above, and the incumbent and Churchwardens have
a similar right with respect to books, etc., in the custody of the Parish
Council (xvii, 8).

There is one matter connected with the particular section of the Local
Government Act, 1894, now under consideration, which has given rise to
some discussion. In whose custody should the Tithe Map and Award be
placed? Should the Incumbent or the Parish Council have the charge of
them? Now, I am no lawyer, and
