Permission was sought to sell land within to the parish, and directions sought as to the application of the proceeds of sale.
Held: The land had been transferred to the diocesan board of finance on the merger of two parishes, and was held for parochial or diocesan purposes. This was not special property, and since it was no longer needed, it could be sold, but the proceeds were to be applied within the parish and not for general purposes of the diocese.
