It may be a question whether Lord Coleridge’s judgment as to the residence of Churchwardens may not affect this.

It is hoped that ere long every Diocese in the country will have its own special body for the purpose, with a carefully considered Trust Deed. I believe that the scheme in the Arch Diocese of Canterbury is found to work very satisfactorily.[52a] 1 and 2 Vict., cap. 106, sec. 95.[52b] Ditto, sec. 36.[53] Addresses delivered to the Churchwardens and Sidesmen of the Diocese of Liverpool, by Thomas E.
