16. And . . . in case of the disobedience of any order or regulation of the commissioners under this Act, or of any other persons acting as visitors under their authority, made respecting the said schools of private foundation, whenever it shall seem expedient to the said commissioners that an application should be made to the lord high chancellor, or to the commissioners for the custody of the great seal of Ireland for the time being, for the enforcing of any order or proceeding of the commissioners under this Act, for the better regulation or management of any such endowed schools of private foundation in Ireland, as well as of any of the other schools already described in this Act, it shall and may be lawful for the commissioners under this Act to make a summary application by petition to the lord high chancellor, or to the commissioners for the custody of the great seal, praying that an order may be made by the lord high chancellor or commissioners for the custody of the great seal on the subject of said application; whereupon it shall and may be lawful for the lord high chancellor, or the commissioners for the custody of the great seal, upon such summary application, to make such order and to give such direction respecting any such endowed school in Ireland of private foundation, as to him or them shall seem fitting and expedient for the purposes aforesaid, or any part thereof, and to direct that the costs of such application shall be paid out of any fund or funds appropriated to the use or benefit of the school respecting which such application shall be made as aforesaid: Provided always, that in all cases in which an application shall be made to the lord high chancellor or commissioners for the custody of the great seal by the said commissioners under this Act, whensoever it shall appear to the lord high chancellor or commissioners for the custody of the great seal, that the mismanagement of any such endowed school of private foundation, or the misapplication of its funds and revenues, are so great as to render the directors, managers, or trustees thereof unfit to continue to have the management of such endowed school of private foundation, or the direction or application of the funds and revenues thereof, that then and in such case it shall and may be lawful for the lord high chancellor or commissioners for the custody of the great seal, and they are hereby empowered, to declare and decree such directors, managers, or trustees to be removed from the trusts of such endowed school of private foundation, and the management thereof; in which case the lord high chancellor or commissioners for the custody of the great seal may further direct that the execution of the said trust or trusts shall devolve upon and be vested in the commissioners under this Act, or be provided for in such other manner as the lord high chancellor or commissioners for the custody of the great seal shall by his or their order think fit to direct; which commissioners under this Act, and their successors, or the other persons on whom the trust or trusts shall so be decreed to devolve, shall in that case have the funds and revenues, direction and management, of the said schools vested in them.
