1 [F1Charity Commission] may make Order enabling Bishop of one Diocese to act for another, as to certain Trusts &c.U.K.

In all cases in which the bishop of a diocese is as such bishop, alone or jointly with any other person or persons, trustee of or invested with any power of nomination or control or other power in relation to any charitable foundation or other trust for public purposes within, or in favour of the clergy, parishioners, or other persons or objects of or belonging to, any place which, at the time when such bishop or his predecessor was first invested with such trust or power, was within that diocese, or concerning any church or chapel in any such place, and by reason of an alteration of the limits of the diocese such place is transferred to and included in some other diocese, it shall be lawful for the [F1Charity Commission], if it appear to [F2it] that such trust or power was first so vested in the bishop or his predecessor by reason of the place being then within his diocese, and may be conveniently vested in the bishop in whose diocese such place is included, to make an order under their seal substituting from the date thereof for the first-mentioned bishop the bishop of the diocese in which such place is included; and such order shall operate to vest in such lastly-mentioned bishop, either solely or jointly with any other person or persons, as the case may require, all estate, property, stock, funds, monies, securities, rights, titles, patronage, and authority in relation to the charity or trust, as fully and effectually as if he had been originally appointed to have and exercise the same.
