should in all cases publish au account of their income and 
disbursements ; that whenever trustees released, renewed, or 
sold charity property, the particulars should be duly reported 
and published with the annual statement of accounts. This 
is in some cases done, but is not in all. 
Where the property was in land and held in leases, and 
renewed by trustees, it was very important that the terms of 
the renewal of all such leases should be published. 
Mr. Chadwick quoted the instance of the “ Accounts of 
the Queen in regard to Her Duchy of Lancaster ” as a good 
instance of a published account of trustees, represented by 
the Duchy Court, in which the rent, terms, and conditions 
of each tenant are set forth. 
Mr. Chadwick also called attention to the account required 
to be kept by all joint-stock companies, as a good step in the 
right direction. 
He recommended publicity in every way as the first and 
main condition, an exact form of accounts, an annual report 
of proceedings, and the acknowledgment of the principle by 
public trustees as part of their duties and responsibilities of 
“ public accountability.”
