4.

What persons are qualified to be the Scholars Opinion. will depend upon the rules to be framed by Trinity College.

5. There is nothing in the Will to compel the Scholars to become Members of Trinity College. Should any such regulation be insisted upon by the College, we think it probable that the Court of Chancery might on Petition disallow such a restriction as beyond the scope of the power of regulation given to the College.

6. There is nothing in the Will to render it compulsory in the Scholars to reside in the Hostel. But as the Will would seem to give them a right to such Residence we think it most desirable that the University and the College should if possible before the Benefaction is accepted endeavour to agree upon some plan agreeable to both with reference to this part of the Will.

7. The Master and Seniors of Trinity College may make regulations as to the age or standing of Candidates for Scholarships or for their residence in the University after Election or for their proceeding to degrees or for their having previously taken a degree or as to a Scholar forfeiting his Scholarship provided no such regulation be inconsistent with any of the general Laws of the University.

8. If the University objects to any such regulations it might refuse to accept the Scholarships but it could not of its own power accept the benefaction and yet reject or modify any regulations made by Trinity College not inconsistent with the Statutes of the University.

9. The University might accept the Professorship and reject the Scholarships or vice versa.

10. The Election being by the Will to be made by "a majority of the above mentioned Electors" we think that no single elector could vote twice or oftener in more than one capacity.

11. The Professorship should be established by Grace of the Senate but as to the form of the Grace

and what it should include this is matter not of Law but of University Practice.

12. The Provisions of the Will in regard to the Certificate for Stipend must be complied with.

They meet the approval of the Master and Seniors of Trinity College.
