CHARITABLE BEQUEST
CHANGE OF OBJECT APPROVED. DUNEDIN, September 10. Decision was given by Ids Honouf Mr Justice Kennedy in the Supreme Court this morning in the case in which application was made to change the object of a trust left by the late Robert Glendining to Ivnox Church, so that an organ might be provided instead of a peal of bells. His Honour held that it was clear that the original purpose of the ber[ .est. namely, to furnish a peal of hells for the church, was a charitable purpose within the meaning of the Act. So, likewise, was the furnishing of a church With an organ. Proceeding, his Honour said : “There is no doubt that the trust fund is at present inadequate to provide a peal of bells, afid I have come to tr*f conclusion* on the evidence that although this is not a clear case it is inexpedient to carry out the original charitable purpose. The Deacons’ Court of Knox Church, Incorporated, expressly undertook if the scheme were approved to install an organ of the value of not less than '£4ooo, to place an order for such an organ immediately the scheme was approved, and to raise by subscription the said sum of £7OO or any larger sum required in the event of a more expensive organ being obtained within twelve months from the date on which the scheme was approved. An order is . made approving of the scheme. It will contain as set out in the draft order lodged reference to these undertakings by the petitioner.
