Where, under the powers of any inclosure Act, any allotment shall have been made in trust for the poor inhabitants of any parish, or of any class of such poor inhabitants, or in trust to be leased, used, or enjoyed to or by or upon any other trusts for the benefit of such poor inhabitants, or for the purposes of exercise and recreation, or for any other public or parochial purpose, and it shall appear to the commissioners that such allotment, by reason of its distance from the dwellings of such poor inhabitants, or from the nature or quality of the soil, or otherwise, shall not be convenient or suitable for the purposes for which the same shall have been made, it shall be lawful for the commissioners, upon the application in writing of the churchwardens and overseers of the poor of the parish in which such allotment shall be situate, or of the trustees for the time being of such allotment, and of the person interested in land more convenient or suitable for the purposes for which such allotment shall have been made, and who may be willing to give such land in exchange for such allotment, in case the commissioners shall be of opinion that such exchange would be beneficial to the poor inhabitants or other persons for whose benefit or more suitable to the purposes for which such allotment was made, to cause to be framed and to confirm an order of exchange of such allotment for such other land as aforesaid; and the provisions herein contained concerning exchanges shall apply to such allotment, as if such churchwardens and overseers or trustees respectively were the persons interested in such allotment.
