Chancellors Court Rule on Lady Hewley Charity Trustees
The vice chancellor reviewed the Hewley Charity case, outlining the seventeenth century origins, the exclusion of unitarians, and the decree’s focus on proper objects of the trust. He backed Lord Henley’s trusteeship and noted the long dispute over which dissenting groups may partake, signaling a future decree on objects. The decision preserves costs against the estate and confirms the master’s report appointing trustees and sub-trustees.
