OXFORD GROUP
i I U BPOS ES N(IT REL 1G 10 US. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN.—COPYRIGHT.] (Reed. March 10. 1 p.m.) LONDON. March 9. Mr Justice Bennett, in the Chancery Division, held that a £ 500 bequest to the Oxford Group was invalid, because the Group did not exist as an association, of which anybody could be secretary, or had an officer capable of giving a. receipt for the legacy. On the question as to whether the Group’s purposes were charitable, it was suggested that the Group existed for the advancement of religion, but be found no evidence that the Group existed for the promotion of religion, in the legal sense: therefore, lie could not hold that the members of the Oxford Group’s purposes were religious.
