Charities -- England -- London
The co-optative trustees must be persons residing or carrying on business
in the parish of Kensington, and are to be provisionally appointed by the
trustees, which appointment must be approved by the Charity Commissioners
before it is valid.
The representative trustees are appointed for five years, and the
co-optative trustees for seven years.
The income of the charity is to be applied as follows:—1st, in the
payment of the pensions and apprenticeship fees granted before the 27th
May, 1881.
The income is then divided into two portions.
One-half of the income, after providing for these old pensions, is to be
applied in charitable or eleemosynary purposes as follows:—(1) An annual
sum of not more than £900 nor less than £700 in the payment of pensions
to deserving and necessitous inhabitants of the parish of Kensington, who
shall have resided therein for not less than seven years next preceding
the time of their appointment, who shall not during that period have
received poor law relief, and who from age, ill-health, accident, or
infirmity shall be unable to maintain themselves by their own exertions.
(2) The remainder of the half, after paying the £900 applicable to
pensions, to the general benefit of the poor of Kensington, to such
persons and in such way as the trustees shall consider most advantageous
to the recipients and most conducive to the formation of provident
habits, as follows:—
1. (_a_) Subscriptions in aid of the funds of any dispensary, infirmary,
hospital, or convalescent home, upon such terms as to enable the trustees
to secure the benefit of the institution for the objects of the
charities.
(_b_) To provident clubs or societies in the parish of Kensington for the
supply of coal, clothes, or other necessaries.
2. Contributions towards
(_a_) The provision of nurses for the sick and infirm.
(_b_) The purchase of annuities for the augmentation of any income
possessed by the recipients and produced by their own exertions.
(_c_) The cost of outfit, on entering into trade or service, of any one
under 21 years of age.
(_d_) Passage money and outfit in aid of emigration.
(_e_) Maintenance of any reading-room, library, or working man’s club for
the benefit of the parish.
3. The temporary relief in money by way of loan or otherwise to an
amount not exceeding £200 in one year in case of unexpected loss,
temporary illness, or sudden destitution. The pensions above mentioned
are not to be less than £10 and not more than £26 a-year.
The other half of the income of the charities is to be applied to
educational purposes:—
(_a_) In payments for the education of the children of poor inhabitants
of the parish who are deaf and dumb or blind, or suffering from physical
or mental infirmity, and who thereby aggravate the difficulties of their
parents or guardians; and
