Charity jurisdiction – where trustees of a charity have discretionary powers, the court will not interpose unless they act corruptly. Though it may not choose to interpose, it does not follow that an information seeking the court’s interference, will be dismissed; since it may be serviceable to maintain a control over them. Where there is, in point of substance, a visitor, it excludes the general interference of the court either by commission within the 43 Eliz. or its ordinary jurisdiction.
