The QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

WHEREAS the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, have, in pursuance of an Act of the sixth and seventh years of Her Majesty, chapter thirty-seven, sections six and eight, duly prepared and laid before Her Majesty in Council a scheme, bearing date the twenty-third day of April, in the year one thousand eight hundred and, seventy-four, in the words and figures following, that is to say :

"We, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, in pursuance of the Act of the sixth and seventh years of your Majesty, chapter thirty-seven, sections six and eight, have prepared and now humbly lay before your Majesty in Council the following scheme for authorizing the sale and disposal of certain property situate in the parish of Appledram, in the county of Sussex, and now vested in us.

"Whereas under and by virtue of a certain indenture, bearing date the thirty-first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, and made, or expressed to be made, between William George Wyndham, of Waghen, in the county of York, Esquire, George Palmer, the younger, of Nazing Park, in the county of Essex, then resident in the East Indies, Esquire, Edward Howley Palmer, of King's Arms-yard, in the city of London, Esquire, and Benjamin Charles Stephenson, of Number 12, Bolton-row, in the county of Middlesex, Esquire, of the first part, Robert William Hamilton, then or late of Number 108, Eaton-square, in the county of Middlesex, Esquire, and Charlotte Maria Hamilton, his wife, of the second part, and us, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, of the third part, certain lands and hereditaments situate in the said parish of Appledram, more particularly described in the schedule hereunto annexed, became, with their appurtenances, and are now vested in us.

"And whereas the said lands and hereditaments are not subject to any outstanding beneficial lease or grant, but are now in our possession, but some portions thereof, on account of their character and situation, are unsuitable or inconvenient to be held or applied for the purposes for which estates vested in us are applicable under the Acts by which our proceedings are governed.

"And whereas, with a view to the advantageous appropriation of the same, or of the proceeds thereof, for the ultimate improvement of our common fund, it is expedient that the said lands and hereditaments or such part or parts thereof, as we shall at any time, and from time to time, think fit should be sold or disposed of, and accordingly that we should be empowered to sell or dispose of our interest in such lands and hereditaments, Or in any part or parts thereof, in such manner as shall appear to us advisable.

"Now, therefore, we humbly recommend and propose that we may be authorised and empowered, by instrument or instruments in writing, duly executed according to law, from time to time to sell or dispose of and duly to convey according to the provisions of the said Act, all or any of the said lands and hereditaments so vested in us as aforesaid, with their appurtenances, and all our estate, right, title, and interest therein, or in any part or parts thereof, unto and to the use of any person or persons-desirous or willing to purchase the same, and his or their executors, administrators, or assigns, or otherwise, as he or they shall direct or appoint, and for such consideration as shall upon due calculation and enquiry appear to us to be just and reasonable, it being our intention to invest the proceeds of such sale from time to time as occasion may arise in the purchase of other lands, tithes, rent-charges, tenements, or hereditaments, or of some estate or interest therein, convenient to be held by us for the purposes of the Acts by which our proceedings are governed as aforesaid, and in the meantime to invest the said proceeds in some government or parliamentary stock or other public securities in England.

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