[20th November, 1894.]
| land containing three acres two roods, more or less, situate in the | WHEREAS by a grant from the Crown, dated the ninth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and forty-two, a piece of |
| town of Goulburn, in the Colony of New South Wales, was duly granted to Francis Nicbolas Rossi, John Francis M'Arthur, William Bradley, and William Shelley upon trust for the erection of a church in conformity with the provisions of the Acts seventh William Fourth number three and eighth William Fourth number five : And whereas by a grant from the Crown, dated the nineteenth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and forty-three, a piece of land in the town of Goulburn containing forty acres, more or less, was duly granted to the said Francis Nicholas Rossi, John Francis M'Arthur, William Bradley, and William Shelley upon trust for the appropriation thereof as a glebe annexed to the church of Saint Saviour, Goulburn, afore- said : And whereas by indenture, dated the twentieth day of August, |
one thousand eight hundred and forty-four, a piece of land containing by estimation thirty-two perches was conveyed by William Pit t Faithfull to the said Francis Nicholas llossi, John Francis M'Arthur, and William Bradley upon trust for the building and erection of a school-house and dwelling-house thereon and other school purposes : And whereas there has been erected on the said church land a building known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Saviour, Goulburn, and also a building known as the church ha l i : And whereas by an agreement, dated the fifth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-three, and made between the Reverend Alfred Teed Puddicombc, the incumbent of the parish of Saint Saviour, Goulburn, of the one part, and Francis Robert Lewis Rossi, the Honorable James Chisholm, Andrew Faithfull Gibson, Augustine Matthew Betts, and Alexander Mackellar, therein called the trustees of Saint Saviour's glebe lands, of the other part, it was witnessed (among other things) that the said incumbent thereby consented to the said trustees entering upon the said glebe lands and leasing the same as therein mentioned, and the said trustees thereby agreed to apply to Parlia- ment for a private Act authorising the payment from the glebe revenues of an additional one hundred and fifty pounds (making three hundred pounds in all) annually to the incumbent for the time being of Saint Saviour's parish aforesaid, such additional sum of one hundred and fifty pounds per annum to be paid when Parlia- mentary sanction could be received, and the said Alfred Teed Puddicombe, as such incumbent as aforesaid, thereby released the said trustees from all claims which he might have or be considered to have against them to that date in respect of the annual income of the said glebe lands or trust moneys held in connection there- with and all accumulations of interest, and that all accumulations of interest should be added to and form part of the principal moneys then invested by the said trustees : And whereas application was made in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven to the Parliament of New South Wales to pass a Bill giving legal effect to the said agreement, and authorising the payment of such additional sum of one hundred and fifty pounds per annum, but the Bill introduced to Parliament for that purpose was not passed, and the said trustees were in consequence unable to make such additional payment : And whereas the said church and glebe lands repectively are now vested in the Lord Bishop of Goulburn upon the trusts aforesaid : And whereas at a session of the Synod of the Church of England for the Diocese of Goulburn, held in the month of April, one
| thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, an Ordinance was passed for | establishing and regulating the constitution of the said Cathedral |
| Church known as the " Cathedral Ordinance of 1894," and an Ordinance was also passed for the issue of debentures in liquidation of the debt on the said Cathedral Church known as the " Cathedral Debenture Ordinance, 1894" : And whereas it is necessary or desir able that the said Ordinances or some of the provisions thereof should have legal effect given to them by Act of Parliament, and that the said Cathedral Church should not be subject to the provisions of the Church Acts : And whereas the said Alfred Teed Puddicombe has received from the revenues of the said glebe lands the annual sum of one hundred and fifty pounds only, and he claims to be entitled to receive compensation for the non-payment to him of the additional annual sum of one hundred and fifty pounds in the said agreement of the fifth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and eighty- three mentioned, and without any admission being made of the validity of the said claim it is deemed desirable that such claim should be settled by arbitration: Be it therefore enacted by the |
Queen's
Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly of New South Wales in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows :—
1. The Cathedral Church of Saint, Saviour, Goulburn, shall not be subject to the provisions of the Church Acts seventh William Fourth number three and eighth William Fourth number five : Provided it shall and may be lawful for any person who lias erected a monument in the Cathedral Church of Saint Saviour, Goulburn, in accordance with permission duly obtained in terms of the Act eighth William the Fourth number five, to have and maintain and keep, but with the permission of the Bishop for the time being, such monument to and for the sole use of himself and heirs for ever.
2. Such of the provisions of the ' 'Cathedral Ordinance of 1894"
as are s e t out in the First Schedule hereto shall be valid and binding
and have the force of law as though the same were set out here in full.
3. The provisions of the " Cathedral Debenture Ordinance,
1894," set out in the Second Schedule hereto shall be valid and binding
and have the force of law as though the same were set out here in full.
1. The question whether the said Alfred Teed Puddicombe is
entitled to compensation for non-payment to him of the additional
annual sum of one hundred and fifty pounds in the said agreement
of the said fifth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty three, mentioned, shall be referred to the arbitration of three
arbitrators, one of such arbitrators to be appointed by the said Lord
Bishop of Goulburn, one by the said Alfred Teed Puddicombe, and the
third by the two arbitrators so chosen, and the provisions of the
" Arbitration Act of 1892 " shall apply, and the decision of any two
such arbitrators shall be final and conclusive upon all parties to the
reference, and i t shall be lawful for the said Lord Bishop of Goulburn
to pay and discharge from the said trust funds such proportion of any
reasonable expenses that may be incurred in connection with the said
arbitration as the said arbitrators or a majority of them may determine
he should pay.
5. If a n y sum shall be a w a r d e d to the said Alfred Teed Puddi- combe under the said arbitration the same shall be paid to him out of the rents of the said glebe land and the accumulations of interest on the principal moneys pertaining thereto which have accrued since the fifth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and eighty three, and are now i n the bands of the Lord Bishop of Goulburn, or which
may hereafter come into his hands or the hands of his successors, and
the said Alfred Teed Puddicombe shall have no claim to payment out
of any other fund.
G. Subject to the payment t o the said Alfred Teed Puddicombo of the amount (if any) which may be awarded to him the surplus oi the accumulations of rents and interest shall be capitalised or may be applied in reduction of the existing debt upon the church erected upon the land included in the said firstly recited grant.
7. I t shall be lawful for the said trustee to pay and discharge from the said trust funds all the reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the passing of this Act or in relation thereto.
