Church Building Act 1822

XXXIIIFor removing Doubts as to the Powers of the Commissioners in relation to certain Grants.

And whereas Doubts have arisen and may arise as to Grants made by the said Commissioners, in Cases in which Trusts have been created by Acts of Parliament or otherwise, in relation to the Churches or Chapels for which such Grants have been or may be made, and whether the making such Grants may, under the Provisions of the said recited Acts and this Act, interfere with such Trusts; for Remedy and Prevention whereof, be it therefore declared and enacted, That it shall be lawful for the said Commissioners to make any Grant or Grants in relation, or confirm any Grant or Grants heretofore made for any Church or Chapel in relation to which any Trusts have been created by any Act or Acts of Parliament, or any Deed or Deeds, or Instrument of Consecration, which may not in all respects concur with the Provisions of the said recited Acts or this Act, and to declare at the Time of making or confirming any such Grant, that any such Trusts shall notwithstanding remain and continue in full Force: Provided always, that the Commissioners shall, in any such Case, enter in their Proceedings the Special Grounds upon which every such Grant has been made and confirmed ; and in every such Case such Trusts shall remain and continue in full Force any thing in the said recited Acts or this Act, or in the said Trusts and Regulations to the contrary notwithstanding.
