TY - JOUR ID - discovery10085744 N2 - The article discusses the law governing cy-près applications of charitable endowment during the Victorian period and the institutional framework within which cy-près orders and schemes were made. Powers to make such orders and schemes were vested in the court of chancery and the charity commissioners, a body of administrative officials created in 1853. Some case-studies are undertaken, to gain a better understanding of the approaches taken by the court and the commissioners towards the making of orders and schemes and of their opinions regarding certain social, religious and political issues.
