[1897. NOTICE IN REFERENCE TO BEQUESTS. As the kjnd intentions of some of the deceased friends of the Society have been rendered abortive for want of correct knowledge of the law, the Committee call special attention to the- following directions R e q u i s i t e s e o k V a l i d i t y o f ¥ i m .—It should be remembered in the first place that, (a) A will must be in writing, and signed at the foot or end thereof by the Testator or by some other person in his presence and by his direction; (5) Such signature must be made or acknowledged by the Testator in the presence of two Witnesses, who must be present at the same time, and (c) Such Witnesses must attest and subscribe the will in the presence of the Testator. G i e t s b y W i l l t o Ch a b i t a b l e I nstitutions .— Gifts by will to the Baptist Missionary Society and other Charitable Institutions were formerly subject to restrictions stated in the’ “ Notice in Reference to Bequests ” contained in previous reports. But the effect of the Mortmain and Charitable Uses Act, 1891 (54 and 55 Viet. c. 73), Secs. 3 and 5 and 9, is that nt> gift in favour of a Charitable Institution, made by the will of a Testator dying after August 5th, 1891, can be void by reason of the subject matter of the gift being land or an interest in land. The distinction formerly drawn between personal property which is an interest in land (that is, in any way secured upon or payable out of land) and pure personalty is abolished, and even land may now be lawfully given by will to a Charitable Institution. But lands so given must be sold within one year from the Testator’s death, or such extended period as may be determined by the Court or the Charity Commissioners, and if not sold within such period it will vest in the official Trustee of Charity Lands, and the Charity Commissioners will order it to be sold, and the net proceeds of sale to be paid to the official Trustees of Charity Funds in trust for the Charity in favour of which the land has been’given (Sec. 6). 1.—B e q u e s t o f a n O b d i n a b y P e c u n i a r y L e g a c y t o t h e S o c i e t y . —In this case there is no need for the provision formerly inserted in wills directing the legacy to be paid exclusively out of such parts of the Testator’s estate as mighfc'ilawfully be! disposed of for charitable purposes. The bequest may be in the following form :— “ I give to the Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Baptist Missionary Society the sum of £ , free of duty, for the general purposes of the said Society ” (or, if so desired, “ for the Translation Fond of the said Society,” or “ for; the School Fund of the said Society ” ). 2 .— B e q u e s t t o t h e S o c i e t y o f a P e c u n i a e y L e g a c y m a d e P a y a b l e o u t o f t h e P b o c e e d s o f S a m a n d t h e C o n v e r s i o n o f t h h T b s t a t o b ’ s B e a l a n d P e e s o n a l E s t a t e , o b o f a S h a k e o f b it c h P k o c e b d s .—Very frequently a Testator gives his real and personal estate or ids residuary estate to Trustees on trust to sell, and ^out of the proceeds of sale to pay the legacies previously bequeathed, which may includela legacy to the Society. And a Testator may now bequeath a share of such proceeds to thelSociety. In these cases, although perhaps not essential, it is considered prudent, at all events until the interpretation of the above- mentioned Act has been settled by judicial decision, to add to the gift of the pecuniary legacy or share to the Society the following direction “ And I direct that in case all the real and leasehold estate comprised in the devise and bequest in trust for sale herein contained Bhall not bfiisold within one year from my death then the said legacy (or share) herein bequeathed to the said Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Baptist Missionary Society, and the'duty thereon shall be paid out of the proceeds of sale and conversion of my personal estate and the proceeds of sale of such of my real and leasehold estate as shall be sold within one year after my death in priority to all other legacies (or shares) payable thereout.” 1897.] ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REPORT. "V 3-—G i p t b y W i l l o p Lakd t o t h e S o c i e t y . —If land or a house of any tenure or a freehold or leasehold ground-rent is intended to be given to the Society, it should be given to a Trustee ■or Trustees on trust to sell within one year after the Testator’s death if practicable, and to receive the net purchase money and pay it to the Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Society.

  • Social and Cultural Functions of the Local Press in Preston, Lancashire, 1855-1900
    Reading the local paper: Social and cultural functions of the local press in Preston, Lancashire, 1855-1900 by Andrew Hobbs A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire November 2010 ABSTRACT This thesis demonstrates that the most popular periodical genre of the second half of the nineteenth century was the provincial newspaper. Using evidence from news rooms, libraries, the trade press and oral history, it argues that the majority of readers (particularly working-class readers) preferred the local press, because of its faster delivery of news, and because of its local and localised content. Building on the work of Law and Potter, the thesis treats the provincial press as a national network and a national system, a structure which enabled it to offer a more effective news distribution service than metropolitan papers. Taking the town of Preston, Lancashire, as a case study, this thesis provides some background to the most popular local publications of the period, and uses the diaries of Preston journalist Anthony Hewitson as a case study of the career of a local reporter, editor and proprietor. Three examples of how the local press consciously promoted local identity are discussed: Hewitson’s remoulding of the Preston Chronicle, the same paper’s changing treatment of Lancashire dialect, and coverage of professional football. These case studies demonstrate some of the local press content that could not practically be provided by metropolitan publications. The ‘reading world’ of this provincial town is reconstructed, to reveal the historical circumstances in which newspapers and the local paper in particular were read.

    1 99-31 Lancashire Constabulary Pennine Division Community Support Department Sergeant J. Masterman Constable N. Lund Tel 01282 472247 Police Station, Parker Lane, Burnley, Lancs BBI 1 2BT PROBLEM ORIENTED POLICING COMPETITION THE TILLEY AWARD 1999 THE BURNLEY YOUTH SHELTER - A PURPOSE BUILT STREET CORNER ABSTRACT Harle Syke is an area of Burnley, which adjoins the rural parish of Briercliffe. Both areas consist of good class housing and enjoy a village atmosphere. This part of Burnley is about 2 miles away from the town centre and the recreational amenities for young people, which such an area provides. In Briercliffe, children up to the age of 12 have been provided with a play area containing swings, climbing frames etc, however the park is subject to a local bye law which legally excludes older children from entering or using it. There were no facilities available for the older children to use, which resulted in them congregating in places where they caused nuisance and offence to residents. 13 of the young people were arrested on one evening for causing a public nuisance after many complaints were made to the local beat officer over a period of time.. The result of neglecting the 12 to 18 year age groups has been felt not only in Burnley but in many other parts of the country as well. It has been established that 20% of police time is spent in dealngi with repeat nuisance which mainly originate from this older age group. Complaints of anti-social and criminal behaviour abound, such as gathering in large intimidating groups in residential areas, making noise, drinking alcohol, swearing and causing damage.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

Background: As a Lead Local Flood Authority, Lancashire County Council has a role in coordinating flood risk activities and ensuring the free flow of communication and collaborative works. In order to help achieve this, Lancashire County Council and relevant risk management authorities meet regularly to discuss local flooding issues and to identify opportunities for managing future flood risks. This has worked very well up to now and has allowed risk management authorities to work closely together to tackle often complex and challenging situations. However following the significant flooding that hit Lancashire in December 2015, it became evident that improvements could be made to the way in which these messages get communicated to affected communities. As such, Lancashire County Council has now developed a series of district level reports which aim to provide affected communities with information about what relevant risk management authorities are doing in their areas to help manage the risk of flooding from a variety of sources.

  • KJ MASTER THESIS FINAL Corrections
    Ordered Spaces, Separate Spheres: Women and the Building of British Convents, 1829-1939 Kate Jordan University College London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy I, Kate Jordan confirm that the work present- ed in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. _______________________________ Kate Jordan !2 Abstract Over the last forty years, feminist discourses have made considerable impact on the way that we understand women’s historical agency. Linda Nochlin’s question, ‘why have there been no great women artists’ challenged assumptions about the way we consider women in art history and Amanda Vickery brought to the fore questions of women’s authority within ‘separate spheres’ ideology. The paucity of research on women’s historical contributions to architecture, however, is a gap that misrepresents their significant roles. This thesis explores a hitherto overlooked group of buildings designed by and for women; nineteenth and twentieth century English convents. Many of these sites were built according to the rules of communities whose ministries extended beyond contemplative prayer and into the wider community, requiring spaces that allowed lay-women to live and work within the convent walls but without disrupting the real and imagined fabric of monastic traditions - spaces that were able to synthesise contemporary domestic, industrial and institutional architecture with the medieval cloister. The demanding specifications for these highly innovative and complex spaces were drawn up, overwhelmingly, by nuns. While convents might be read as spaces which operated at the interstices between different architectures, I will argue they were instead conceived as sites that per- formed varying and contradictory functions simultaneously.
