Monday, 2nd May, 1870. Presbyterian Church Site and Endowment Grants, in Trust. Edmund Smith, being duly sworn, states: I hand in a schedule of properties in the hands of the Presbyterian Church, showing the mode in which each lot is disposed of, and if let, the amount of revenue. This list comprises all properties included in the schedule in the hands of the Commissioner, but there are other grants subsequently issued which are not included. I have also omitted the sections in respect to which I gave evidence on Saturday. The revenues are disposed of, under direction of the Synod, by the trustees, and are applied as follows: —Two-thirds to the erection and repair of manses, and the purchase of sites for the same, throughout the Provinces of Otago and Southland ; the remaining third has been allowed to accumulate for the purpose of endowing a Literary Chair in the University now in course of erection. The funds for building churches and for stipends of ministers are provided by the congregations.
