In re Orphan Working School and Alexandra Orphanage’s Contract: 1912

An established trust had collected subscriptions over many years, ptting those subscriptions wth other funds derived from the sale of one school property for the purchase of another. That property in turn came to be sold, and questions arose as to the need for permission of the Charity Commissioners under the 1835 Act.
Held: Inter alia, that the Trustees of the charity had implied the authority of the donors to select the trusts for the charity, and that the land sale was derived from a donation to a mixed charity and could be applied as income, and as such was exempt from control by the Commissioners.
