Where by any charter, deed, or other document any association, institution, or society, whether corporate or unincorporate, is empowered, or is under a duty, to make any grant or payment to any persons or body of persons, whether corporate or unincorporate, in Wales and Monmouthshire, such power or duty shall not be affected by reason of any parish of the Church in Wales ceasing to be a part of the province of Canterbury or of York, notwithstanding anything contained in any such charter, deed, or document.
8 Saving for divided parishes.
Where an ecclesiastical parish which before the year eighteen hundred and fifty was situate partly in Wales or Monmouthshire and partly in England has since that year been divided into two ecclesiastical parishes, one of which is situate wholly in Wales or Monmouthshire and one wholly in England, and both those parishes are situated in an English diocese, then subsections (1) and (3) of section nine of the M3Welsh Church Act 1914 (which relates to border parishes), shall apply to the ecclesiastical parish so situate wholly in Wales or Monmouthshire in like manner as if part thereof were situate in England.
9 Short title and construction.
This Act may be cited as the Welsh Church (Temporalities) Act 1919, and shall be construed as one with the M4Welsh Church Act 1914, and that Act and this Act may be cited together as the Welsh Church Acts 1914 and 1919.
