10. Under this Act diocesan surveyors are appointed in every diocese to inspect and report as to requisite repairs and to certify as to their due execution. The proceedings vary according as they take place (_a_) upon a vacancy in the benefice, or (_b_) at other times. But in either case, after they have taken place, a certificate of the diocesan surveyor that the requisite works have been completed in the parsonage house and other buildings (including walls and fences, and, in the case of a rector liable for its repair, the chancel of the church) will (in the absence of wilful waste or of loss or damage by fire where the incumbent has not kept up a sufficient fire insurance) confer exemption from liability for dilapidations, in respect of those buildings, for the next five years. 11. (_a_) Within three months after a benefice has become vacant,[357] unless the late incumbent was for the time being free, in respect of all the buildings of the benefice, from liability to dilapidations, the diocesan surveyor will inspect the buildings or such of them as have not been included in the exempting certificate, and will report to the bishop what works and what sum, if any, are required for making good the dilapidations. Either the new incumbent, or the late incumbent or his executors or administrators, may send to the bishop objections to the report, and the bishop will make an order specifying the repairs to which the late incumbent or his estate is liable and the cost of them. The amount of the cost thereupon becomes a debt from the late incumbent or his estate to the new incumbent and may be recovered as such.[358] Any money received in respect of it is to be paid to the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty, and they, with the consent of the bishop and patron, may lend on the security of the possessions of the benefice, any part of the cost which they have not received from the new incumbent. Any additional balance required to make up the total amount of the cost of the repairs must be paid to them by the new incumbent, and in case of non-payment may be raised by sequestration of the profits of the benefice. All the sums received or lent by them are to be placed in the first instance to a dilapidation account. If a vacancy occurs in a benefice between the time of an inspection of the buildings and the certifying of the completion of the works, the former incumbent or his estate will be liable for any portion of the cost of the required repairs remaining unpaid by him, as a debt due to the new incumbent. But the new incumbent, whether he recovers that portion or not, will be under the same liability to pay for the outstanding cost of the repairs as the former incumbent would have been had he continued to hold the benefice; and any amount which he fails to recover from the former incumbent or his estate may with the consent of the bishop and patron be lent to him by the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty on the security of the profits of the benefice.
