(1.) All lands, tenements, and hereditaments, and every estate and interest therein, and all fixtures and furniture belonging to the Commissioners of Church Temporalities in Ireland in their capacity as such Commissioners, shall, without any conveyance or assignment thereof, be vested in the Irish Land Commission, to be held for the same uses, trusts, and purposes for which the same were held respectively previous to the passing of this Act.

All moneys, stocks, and securities standing in the name of the Commissioners of Church Temporalities in Ireland in the books of the Bank of Ireland, shall be entered in or transferred to the name of the Irish Land Commission, and be subject to the same trusts and powers as the same were liable to before the dissolution of the Commissioners of Church Temporalities; and the Bank of Ireland, under instructions from the Treasury, are hereby authorised and required to make the aforesaid entry or transfer in their books.
