16. A fair and authenticated copy of this scheme shall be kept with the documents
belonging to the charity, and a duplicate thereof shall be sent to the Charity Commissioners
for England and Wales, and the trustees shall from time to time take such steps as they
may think necessary to cause the provisions of this scheme and the purposes to which the
income of the charity is applicable to be known in the said four parishes-
Dated this 12th day of June, 1867.
