§ 57-4. Donations to vestries for charitable purposes
Where, previous to January 30, 1806, any donation was made of money or any
other thing, for a charitable purpose, and the donation was to be controlled
or managed by a vestry, the governing body of the county, city or town, in
which the charity was intended by the donor to be exercised, shall exercise
the same powers, and perform the same duties, respecting the donation, that
could or ought to have been exercised and performed by the vestry, if it had
continued to exist and been a corporate body, and shall apply such money or
other thing in such manner as may have been directed by the donor.
