![1881, November 3. “ Resolved, That no appointment be made for the Croonian Lectures, but that the “ Treasurer be requested in future to pay to the Poor of the Parish the sum “ received for them in conformity with the terms of the bequest.” Council Minutes, Vol. XI. p. 262. FAIRCHILD LECTURE. 1831, November 3. The Committee having recommended in their Report that the bequest for this Lecture, as well as that for the Croonian, should be suffered to lapse, by making no further appointment to it, obtained at the same time from the Solici- tor of the Society the following legal opinion. “ Had the Fund for the Fairchild Lecture been confined to the original be- “ quest of £25, the omitting to have a sermon preached on any Whit-Tuesday at “ St. Leonard’s, Shoreditch, would have worked a forfeiture of the bequest to the “ Church-wardens upon the trusts vested in them.—As however that sum, by sub- “ sequent subscriptions, now forms part of £100 South Sea Stock, the surplus “ stock, after realizing the £25 by sale, would still continue the property of the “ Society ; and it is quite clear the Society could not legally dispose of it for ge- “ neral purposes, and equally clear it is that St. Leonard’s Parish could have no “ claim to it, as it appears the same after the decease of Archdeacon Denne and “ Mr. Wittenoom was by deed vested in the Society, and that the Society accepted “ the trust. The execution of this trust, as it now stands, does not appear to be “ clogged with any difficulty.”—Letter of C. Few, Esq. to J. W. Lubbock, Esq. Council Minutes, Vol. XI. p. 261.
