Patronage as a Trust The writer argues it is not a trust
The piece examines who the cestuis que trustent would be and whether patrons must bow to parishioner demands. It presents scenarios where patrons choose clergy against popular zeal, contending that patronage is property not a trust and that enforcing a trust would require a broad legal framework the church lacks. The author insists patrons act honestly and criticizes the trust theory as fraudulent.

Duke of Argyll and Scottish Establishment Debate
At Glasgow a conference on the Patronage Bill heard Carvell Williams accuse the Duke of Argyll of shifting strategy to aid a Tory government. The speaker contends the duke’s stance undermines liberal principles and would empower a minority church while preserving state funds, urging Scottish opposition and unity against the measure. The discourse critiques the duke’s past Irish establishment stance and questions church state relations.
