Trustees of the real estate of the charity hereby memorialized and registered.

Note. By a recent statute, (52 Geo. III. chap. 102,) entitled as at the head of the above memorial, all charities and charitable donations issuing out of and secured on lands, &c. or monies in the funds,* founded or endowed previous to the above act, are to be registered by the trustees of such charity from and after six calendar months after the passing of this act, with the clerk of the peace for the county or place where the poor who are to be benefited by such charity reside; and all charities, &c. founded after passing the act, are to be registered within twelve months after the decease of the founder or donor. It will be seen by the form of the memorial already given, that it is to be written on a plain piece of parchment, and merely signed.

No others need be registered under this act.

These are the words of the act, but it seems an oversight; for, by a subsequent part it appears to have been the intention of the legislature to have compelled the registry within six months, unless further time was applied for and granted by the quarter sessions.
