NOTICE IN REFERENCE TO BEQUESTS. As the Hud intentions of some of the deceased fiiends of the Society have been rendered abortive for want of correct knowledge of the law relating to Charitable Bequests, the Committee call special attention to the following directions:— By Statute 6 G eo. n . cap. 86, commonly called the Mortmain Act, it Is enacted, Section l.that after the 24th June, 1736, “ no manors,lands, tenements, rents, advowsons, or other hereditaments, cor­ poreal or incorporeal, whatsoever; nor any sum or Boms of money, goods, chattels, stocks in the public fnnds, securities for money, or any other personal estate whatsoever, to be laid ont or disposed of in the purchase of any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, shall be given, granted, alienated, limited, released, transferred, assigned, or appointed, or any ways conveyed or settled to, or upon, any person or persons, bodies politic or corporate, or otherwise, for any estate or interest whatsoever, or any ways charged or »cumbered by any person or persons whatsoever in trust, or for the benefit of any charitable uses whatsoever, unless such gift, conveyance, appointment, or settlement of any such lands, tenements, or hereditaments, sum or sums of money, or personal estates (other than stocks in the public funds) be, 2nd be made by d e e d , indented, sealed and delivered, in the presence of two or more credible witnesses, twelve calendar months at least befoex the death of such donor or grantor (including the days of the execution and death), and be enrolled in His Majesty’s High Court of Chancery, within six calendar tnontfts next after the execution thereof; and unless such s to c k « be transferred in the public books usually kept for tlie transfer of stock, six calendar months at least before the death of such donor or grantor (including the days of the transfer and death), and unless the same be made to take effect in posses­ s i o n for the charitable uses intended immediately from the making thereof; a n d b e w it h o u t any power of revocation, reservation, trust, condition, limitation clause or agreement whatsoever, for the benefit of the donor or grantor, or any person or persons claiming under him.” The third section of the statute enacts “ That all gifts, grants, conveyances, appointments, assurances, transfers, and settlements whatsoever, of any lands, tenements, or other hereditaments, or of any estate or interest therein, or of any charge or incumbrance affecting or to affect any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or of any stock, money, goods, chattels, or other personal estate, or securities for money to be laid out or disposed of in the purchase of any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or of any estate or interest therein, or of any charge or incumbrance affecting, or to affect, the same to, or in trust for, any charitable uses whatsoever, which shall at any time from and after the 24th June, 1736, be made in any other form than by this Act is directed and appointed, shall be absolutely, and to all intents and purposes, n u l l a n d v o id .” Upon these enactments it may be observed:— 1st. That the Baptist Missionary Society is a Charitable Institution, within the meaning of this Act. Sndly. Land, money arising out of land, or money secured on land wholly or partly, and whether freehold or leasehold, can be given to a charity only by deed in manner directed by the statute. Srdly. Not only cannot a will pass to a charity any property of the above description, but no money- legacy given to a charity can be satisfied out of such property. If, therefore, a testator has only land, mortgages, rent-charges, debentures, or securities on land, the legacy will fail altogether; if his estate be mixed it will fail to the extent of the proportion of this property to pure personalty. If A. having £1,500; namely, £500 at his bakers, and ¿1,000 on mortgage, gives £100 to a charity, the bequest will only be worth £33 6«. 8d. Railway and canal shares are pure personalty, and may be used to satisfy a charitable lcgacy, but not railway debentures. By 1 Vic. cap. 26, sec. 9, it is further enacted, “ That no will shall be valid, unless it shall bs 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 or by his direction: and such signa­ ture shall 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 s)m U subscribe the will in the presence of the Testator; but no Form t f Attestation shall be necessary.” N.B.—Wills executed prior to the first day of January, 1838, are not affected by this A ct; but any 0Iteration then in, or codicil thereto, must be executed in the manner before mentioned. The following Form of Bequest may be safely adopted by those who wish to bequeath such property as may he left by will for this purpose:— FORM OF BEQUEST. 1 give to the Treasurer or Treasurers, for the time being, of the Baptist Missionary Society, the sum of £ sterling, dutyfree, to be paid exclusively out of such Jparts of my personal estate, not specifically bequeathed, as may lawfully be given by will to charity, and not to abate unless there should be no other fund for the payment in full of my other legacies, and in such case only rateably with my other pecuniary *r general legacies. I f any friends wish to bequeath property for Translations or Schools, it is «nly necessary to say instead of the General Fund, the Translation Fund, or the School Fund. It is proper to observe that the above restrictive statute does not extend to Scotland, Ireland, •r the Colonies. 1886.] NINETY-FOURTH REPORT.

  • Slavery the Historical and Modern Perspectives
    Slavery The Historical and Modern Perspectives The Angus Library and Archive Regent’s Park College, Pusey St, Oxford, OX1 2LB 31st October - 5th December 2013 The abolition movement has been linked to Baptist and Nonconformist history and heritage since the 17th century. The Angus Library and Archive unites an extraordinary collection of manuscripts, printed works, illustrations, and artefacts that give an insight into the activities of the anti-slavery movement. Our “Slavery: The Historical and Modern Perspectives” exhibition presents only a fraction of these never before seen resources. 1. The Debate on a Motion for the Abolition of the Slave-Trade, in the House of Commons (April 2nd, 1792) A copy of the debate held in Parliament, led by MP William Wilberforce that eventually caused a bill (the second to be introduced) to be passed to cease the Slave Trade. There was, however, an important amendment to the bills original form: that the ban would be ‘gradual’ making it almost worthless in actuality. 2. The first minutes book from the foundation and meetings of the Baptist Missionary Society (1792) This minutes book documents the foundation of the Society on October 2nd 1792 and records all its activities until the spring of 1799. Mentioned in the appointed committee are William Carey, Raymond Hogg as Treasurer and Andrew Fuller as Secretary. While the original purpose of the BMS was to “Christianise heathens”, missionaries often found themselves confronted with the realities of slavery in the British colonies and many joined the campaign for abolition. The West Indies Under British Colonial rule, the colonies of the West Indies were producers of major exports such as sugar and coffee.

  • A Mighty Experiment: the Transition from Slavery To
    A MIGHTY EXPERIMENT: THE TRANSITION FROM SLAVERY TO FREEDOM IN JAMAICA, 1834-1838 by ELISABETH GRIFFITH-HUGHES (Under the Direction of Peter C. Hoffer) ABSTRACT When Britain abolished slavery, in 1834, it did not grant immediate freedom to the slaves, but put in place an apprenticeship period of four to six years depending upon occupation designation. This period, along with compensation of 6 million pounds, was awarded to the planters for their property losses. It was meant to be used to "socialize" the former slaves and convert them from enslaved to wage labor. The British government placed the task of overseeing the apprenticeship period in the hands of a force of stipendiary magistrates. The power to punish the work force was taken from the planters and overseers and given to the magistrates who ruled on the complaints brought by planters, overseers, and apprentices, meted out punishments, and forwarded monthly reports to the governors. Jamaica was the largest and most valuable of the British West Indian possessions and consequently the focus of attention. There were four groups all with a vested interest in the outcome of the apprenticeship experiment: the British government, the Jamaican Assembly, the planters, and the apprentices. The thesis of this work is that rather than ameliorating conditions and gaining the cooperation they needed from their workers, the planters responded with coercive acts that drove the labor force from the plantations. The planters’ actions, along with those of a British government loathe to interfere with local legislatures after the experience of losing the North American colonies, bear much of the responsibility for the demise of the plantation economy in Jamaica.

  • J. Besson B. Chevannes the Continuity
    J. Besson B. Chevannes The continuity-creativity debate : the case of Revival Argues that the attempts to polarize the debate around Caribbean culture into an African continuity versus a creole creativity position is misplaced. The authors use Revivalism as an example of both continuity in African-derived Myalim and an on-going process of re-creation. In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 70 (1996), no: 3/4, Leiden, 209-228 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl JEAN BESSON & BARRY CHEVANNES THE CONTINUITY-CREATIVITY DEBATE: THE CASE OF REVIVAL INTRODUCTION The republication of Sidney Mintz and Richard Price's classic work, An Anthropological Approach to the Afro-American Past (1976), under the new title The Birth of African-American Culture (1992), clearly indicates that the debate on the African cultural heritage is still alive. In the Preface to their republished essay, Mintz and Price (1992:viii-ix) outline this de- bate in terms of reactions to their first edition, which advanced a linguistic model of underlying African "grammatical" principles and a dynamic process of Caribbean culture-building to replace the more static approach of African cultural survivals advanced by M.J. Herskovits (e.g. 1937, 1941; Herskovits & Herskovits 1947): The argument aimed to build on the insights of Herskovits and his peers. But it was greeted in some quarters by a - for us - surprising hostility, accompanied by the charge that it denied the existence of an African heritage in the Americas. It seemed that many such reactions originated in a desire to polarize Afro-Americanist scholarship into a flatly "for" or "against" position in regard to African cultural retentions.
