"We, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, in pursuance of the Act of the 33rd and 34th years of Her late Majesty Queen Victoria, Chapter 39, and of the Acts therein mentioned, that is to say, the Act of the 3rd and 4th years of Her said late Majesty, Chapter 113, the Act of the 4th and 5th years of Her said late Majesty, Chapter 39, and the Act of the 31st and 32nd years of Her said late Majesty, Chapter 114, have prepared, and now humbly lay before Your Majesty in Council, the following Scheme for effecting a transfer of the ownership of the Advowson or perpetual right of Patronage of and presentation to the Churches and Cure (hereinafter called 'the said Benefice') of Plumpton with East Chiltington, in the County of Sussex and in the Diocese of Chichester:

"Whereas the Advowson or perpetual right of Patronage of and presentation to the said Benefice of Plumpton with East Chiltington is vested for an estate in fee simple without incumbrances in Henry Thomas Alexander Dashwood, of Number 1, The Sanctuary, in the City of Westminster, Esquire:

"And whereas the said Henry Thomas Alexander Dashwood is desirous that the whole Advowson or perpetual right of Patronage of and presentation to the said Benefice of Plumpton with East Chiltington now vested in him as aforesaid, should be transferred to and be vested in the Bishop of Chichester for the time being.:

"And whereas the transfer of the Patronage of the said Benefice of Plumpton with East Chiltington which is hereinbefore mentioned and hereinafter recommended and proposed will in our opinion tend to make better provision for the cure of souls in the Parish or District in or in respect of which the right of Patronage or Advowson so recommended and proposed to be transferred as aforesaid arises or exists, that is to say, in the Parishes of Plumpton and East Chiltington:

Now, therefore, with the consent of the said Henry Thomas Alexander Dashwood (in testimony whereof he has signed and sealed this Scheme) and with the consent of the said George Kennedy Allen, Bishop of Chichester (in testimony whereof he has signed this Scheme and sealed the same with his Episcopal Seal), we, the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, humbly recommend and propose that upon and from the day of the date of the publication in the London Gazette of any Order of Your Majesty in Council ratifying this Scheme and without any conveyance or assurance in the law other than such duly gazetted Order the whole Advowson or perpetual right of Patronage of and presentation to the said Benefice of Plumpton with East Chiltington now vested in him, the said Henry Thomas Alexander Dashwood, as aforesaid, shall be transferred to the said George Kennedy Allen, Bishop of Chichester, and his successors in the same Bishopric, and shall thereupon and thenceforth become and be absolutely vested in and shall and may from time to time be exercised by the said George Kennedy Allen, Bishop of Chichester, and by his successors in the same Bishopric for ever.

"And we further recommend and propose that nothing herein contained shall prevent us from recommending and proposing any further or other measures relating to the matters aforesaid, or any of them, in accordance with the provisions of the said Acts, or of any of them or of any other Act of Parliament."

And whereas, the said Scheme has been approved by His Majesty in Council:

Now, therefore, His Majesty, by and with the advice of His said Council, is pleased hereby to ratify the said Scheme, and to order and direct that the same and every part thereof shall be effectual in law immediately from and after the time when this Order shall have been duly published in the London Gazette pursuant to the said Acts.

And His Majesty, by and with the like advice, is pleased hereby to direct that this Order be forthwith registered by the Registrar of the said Diocese of Chichester.

M. P. A. Hankey.
