CRAVEN PEST-HOUSE CHARITY.
This Charity dates from the year 1687, and originated in the
gift by William Earl Craven of certain property demised for the
benefit of poor persons suffering from the plague. The Charity is
now administered under a scheme established by the Court of
Chancery in the year 1868, and the endowment is described in the
Order of the Court as consisting of 13 houses in Craven Hill Gardens,
Paddington, and 7 coach-houses in Craven Mews, producing rentals
amounting in all to £183 14s. 0d. per annum ; the sum of £15,537
in cash being the purchase-money of the premises in that neighbourhood
acquired by the Metropolitan Railway Company, and
£395 7s. 8d. Bank £3 per cent. Annuities remaining on the credit
of " Attorney-General v. Earl Craven."
The net income of the Charity is applied in specified proportions
to the funds of King's College Hospital and Charing Cross Hospital,
the Governors of the former being required in consideration thereof
to set apart 24 beds, and the Governors of the latter 16 beds, for
patients sent by the Trustees of the Craven Charity. In addition
to reserving this number of beds, the Governors of each of the
hospitals named are also required to receive and treat as out-patients
all poor persons resident in the parishes benefited by the Charity,
who may be sent by the Trustees.
