Ecclesiastical Commissioners Act, 1885

(48 & 49 Vict.) 31.

An Act for amending the Ecclesiastical Commissioners Acts, and for other purposes.

[22nd July 1885]

Whereas by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners Act, 1873, provision was made, amongst other things, for applying the endowments of the rectory of Tatenhill for the benefit of the said rectory and the ecclesiastical districts in the said Act mentioned:

And whereas by the seventy-fourth section of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners Act, 1840, it is provided that arrangements may be made for the apportionment of the income of two benefices belonging to the same patron between the incumbents or ministers of such benefices, or the churches or chapels connected therewith:

And whereas by reason of enactments in the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners Act, 1873, doubts are entertained whether the provision in the Ecclesiastical Commissioners Act, 1840, before recited, any longer applies to the rectory of Tatenhill, and it is expedient to remove such doubts:

Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

S-1 & 4 Vict. c. 113. to apply to rectory of Tatenhill.
