Board of Charity Commissioners for England and Wales, on
the 13th of July, 1880, ordered that " the net income of the
said Charities shall be applied by the said Trustees in providing
coal for the poor of the said Parish. The recipients
of such coal shall be those persons who shall be subscribers
to the Coal Club in the said Parish."
With regard to No. 4, the Board, on the 28th October,
1873, made an order, appointing the Rector and Churchwardens,
and their respective successors, Trustees, during
the tenure of their several offices, to administer the Charity.
The Board directed the dividends accruing to be applied for
the benefit of such poor people residing in the Parish,
with preference to those who reside in the vicinity of
Grosvenor Chapel. In case any ecclesiastical district shall
be hereafter assigned to the said Chapel, the income of
the Charity is to be applied for the benefit of the resident
poor of such district.
