GENERAL STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS OF THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 1860. FORM OF AN ORDER FOR THE PAYMENT OF SUBSCRIPTIONS. As Subscribers, residing in the country, frequently find it difficult to convey their subscriptions so as to ensure payment as they become due, it is recommended that an order, according to the following form, on some Banker, Agent, or Friend, residing in London, shall be sent to Mr. WILLIAM SANDERS, No. 11, Buckingham-street, Strand, London (W. C.). "Please to pay the Collector of the Protestant Association, the as a Subscription to that Institution, to be continued annually, "I am, "Your obedient Servant, NOTICE RESPECTING BEQUESTS TO THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. AN Act of Parliament "for the Amendment of the Laws with respect to Wills" having been passed on the 3d day of July, 1837; which Act came into operation on the 1st day of January, 1838, the attention of all persons, who may contemplate making Bequests to the Protestant Association, is respectfully called to the following section: : 1 VICTORIE, Cap. 26, sec. 9. "And be it further enacted, That no will shall be valid, unless it shall be in writing, and executed in manner hereinafter mentioned; (that is to say) it shall be signed at the foot or end thereof, by the Testator, or by some other person in his presence and by his direction; and such signature shail be made or acknowledged by the Testator, in the presence of Two or more Witnesses present at the same time; and such Witnesses shall attest and shall subscribe the Will, in the presence of the Testator; but no form of Attestation shall be necessary." N.B. Wills executed prior to the 1st day of January, 1838, are not affected by the New Act; but any alteration therein, or Codicil thereto, must be executed in the manner before mentioned. The following extract from a Work, recently published, is worthy of particular attention: "The Statute of 9 Geo. II., c. 36, called the Mortmain Act, is not repealed or altered by the 1 VICTORIE, c. 26; and therefore legacies to charities out of real estate will still be void. If a Testator desire to leave legacies to charities, he must take care to make them payable, either expressly, or by ordinary course of law, out of such personal estate as may be applied for that purpose. A bequest to a charity of a term of years, or leasehold property; or of money to arise from, or be produced by, the sale of land; or by the rents, profits, or other interest arising from land; or a bequest of money, to be laid out in land; or a bequest of money secured by mortgage; or a bequest of annuities charged on land, or rather rentcharges; or a bequest of money, with a direction to apply it in paying off mortgages on schools or chapels; or a bequest of money secured on parochial rates or county rates, or turnpike-tolls-is, in each case, void; and even where no particular fund is pointed out in the Will, for the payment of charitable legacies, and they are consequently a charge on the residue, and the residue consists, in part, of property of all or either of the kinds above specified; so much of the legacies will become void as shall bear the same proportion to the entire legacies as the exempted property bears to the entire residue." FORM OF BEQUEST TO THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. I GIVE AND BEQUEATH unto the Treasurer for the time being of " THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION," formed in London in the year 1835, the sum of pounds of British money, to be paid within months after my decease, exclusively out of such part of my personal estate, not hereby specifically disposed of, as I may by law bequeath to charitable purposes, and I hereby lawfully charge such part of my estate with the said sum upon trust to be applied towards the general purposes of the said Association; and I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer, or the reputed Treasurer, for the time being, of the said Association, shall be a sufficient discharge for the said legacy. If a Testator wishes the legacy to be paid free of duty, he will add the following words to the above form :--And I direct that the legacy duty upon the said legacy be paid by my Executors out of the same fund. N.B. Devises of land, or of money charged on land, or secured on mortgage of lands or tenements, or to be laid out in lands or tenements, or to arise from the sale of lands or tenements, are void, but money or stock may be given by Will, if not directed to be laid out in land. PROTESTANT MAGAZINE. SEPTEMBER 1, 1860. NATIONS INDEPENDENT OF PAPAL RULE. If the Church of England were what the Church of England ought to be, there would be no need for Protestant Associations, for the Church of England would itself be the best Protestant Association. It was Dr. M'Neile, we think, who some time ago made in substance the above remark. There is much truth in it. But, alas, not the Church alone is to be blamed, for neither the Church nor the State have done their duty to the Protestant principles and the Protestant interests of this country. The Church, though still the Church of the country, has lost vast multitudes who might have belonged to her communion, while the nation has relaxed in its stand against Popery, and made concessions which have given vast influence to that system. Nations to be free must be independent of the Church of Rome, and that meddling, overruling interference which has characterized her for centuries and wrought so much mischief amongst the States of Europe. We have suffered materially in consequence, and now the increase of Popery, infidelity, and immorality, threatens the infliction of augmented evil, to be followed, it may be, by augmented punishments. Every instance of lowering our Protestant flag to do homage at the shrine of Papal power and Papal policy is a matter of deep regret, and we believe our own position amongst the nations of Europe and of the world would have been more exalted than it is had our policy, both at home and abroad, been more avowedly and essentially Protestant. Strange and complicated as is now the position of parties and affairs, there is, to some extent, and in some quarters, a reaction set in, and a determination to do no more for a system which makes use of all its power for the destruction of its benefactors, and turns against the constitution of this country the rights and liberties which have been reposed in it by the Constitution. The feelings of vast multitudes in this country are aroused and intensely interested by what has been taking place, and is now taking place in Italy. For years past there has been an uprising against Popery, even in the very land of the Pope, and the conflict going on between the temporal and spiritual power VOL. XXII. New Series, No. 244. G |
