LEGACY NOT VALID
SUM FOR OXFORD GROUP CHANCERY RULING (Reed. Mar. 11, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Mar. 10. Mr. Justice Bennett in the Chancery Division held that a bequest of £SOO to the Oxford Group was invalid because the group did not exist as an association of which anybody could be the secretary or officer capable of giving a receipt for a legacy. On the question as to whether the purposes of the group were charitable, it was suggested that the group existed for the advancement of religion, but he found no evidence that the group existed for the promotion of religion in the legal sense. Therefore, he could not hold that the purposes of the Oxford Group were religious.
