Parliamentary
Inquiry.

that a Parliamentary Inquiry be asked for to
inquire into the administration of the Charity called "The
College of God's Gift in Dulwich," and that pending such

Charity, be not proceeded with.
Reasons for
Inquiry.
4. That your Special Committee desire that
such Inquiry should be held for the following
reasons:—
Estates.
(i.) That the capabilities of the Estates
should be properly developed. The income of the Foundation
for 1889 was £21,429 8s. This amount could be very
largely increased.
(ii.) 1 hat the present extravagant cost of management
and maintenance should be greatly reduced (Last year
£4,516 17s. 5d.)
