This article will consider the mismanagement during the years 1865–1885 of the benefaction made by Thomas Mitchell, a convert and one-time military man, to the Catholic Church in Scotland, as well as a number of other financial difficulties that beset the Church during this period. In doing so, it will reveal how the Scottish bishops, under enormous pressures because of Irish migration, acted in ways not only unbecoming of their offices, but also beyond the scope of both civil and canon law. Yet, as will be seen, the Church was developing as an institution and, in many ways, the difficulties of these years were necessary if it was to re-develop as a fully-fledged and autonomous national Church.
I would like to thank S. Karly Kehoe and Daniel Szechi for feedback on earlier drafts of this article, as well as the Journal’s editor and two anonymous reviewers for their comments.

See also his ‘Children of the Dead End: the Formation of the Modern Archdiocese of Glasgow, 1815–1914’, The Innes Review, vol. 43:2 (1992), pp. 119–144 which includes discussion of much smaller benefactions, including those taken up at Sunday Masses in the form of collections—a mode of income that would become a staple for the Church. In his ‘Catholic Devotion in Victorian Scotland’, in New Perspectives on the Irish in Scotland, Martin Mitchell, ed. (Edinburgh, 2008), pp. 31–43, highlights a number of significant individual benefactions and the importance of wealthy benefactors, but does not consider the reception and management of the bequests.

7 See Aspinwall ‘Formation of the Catholic Community’, in which he speaks of the need for the Church to build a physical presence; Aspinwall, , ‘The Ties that Bind and Loose: the Catholic Community in Galloway 1800–1998’, Records of the Scottish Church History Society, vol. 29 (1999), p. 78 Google Scholar; Aspinwall, ‘The Formation of British Identity Within Scottish Catholicism, 1830–1914’, in Pope, Robert, ed., Religion and National Identity: Wales and Scotland, c. 1700–2000 (Cardiff, 2001), p. 291 Google Scholar; McCaffrey, , ‘The Roman Catholic Church in the 1890s’, pp. 432–3Google Scholar.
8 Aspinwall, , ‘Catholic Devotion in Victorian Scotland’, p. 38 Google Scholar. A cursory glance at the efforts Aspinwall mentions would certainly seem to confirm his argument. James Robert Hope Scott, for example, financed the churches of Our Lady and St Andrew’s, Galashiels, Our Lady and St Joseph’s, Selkirk and The Immaculate Conception, Kelso; Menzies gifted the magnificent Blairs Estate in Aberdeenshire; Bute partly underwrote the re-founding of the abbey at Fort Augustus to the tune of £5,000. The list could and indeed, does, go on. Elsewhere, Aspinwall argues that the English Catholic Church, following Emancipation, was, like Scotland also heavily reliant on wealthy benefactors. See his, ‘Towards an English Catholic Social Conscience, 1829–1920’, Recusant History 25 (May, 2000), pp. 108–9.

12 Kyle was Vicar Apostolic of the Northern District from 1827 until his death in 1869. Strain was Vicar Apostolic of Eastern District 1864–1878. At the Restoration of the Hierarchy in 1878, he became Archbishop of St Andrew’s and Edinburgh, a position he held until his death in 1883. Murdoch was Vicar Apostolic of the Western District 1845–1865. Gray was coadjutor of the Western District 1862–1865, when he became its Vicar Apostolic until his resignation in 1869. His resignation followed Henry Manning’s Apostolic Visitation to the Western District in 1867.

17 Carmont’s original letter to Propaganda does not seem to be extant. That said, his original report, History of the Scottish Clerical Quota Fund / by Bishop Hay. To Which is Added ‘Observations on Quota Fund,’ by John Carmont, was published in 1878. Cardinal Simeoni, moreover, did not become Prefect of Propaganda until March 1878. It can be inferred with some confidence, then, that Carmont sent his original letter and report to Rome sometime either during or after March 1878.
18 SCA, ED/12/92/7, ‘Carmont to My Dear Lord. Petition for £100; Observations, Mitchell Fund, 16 June 1879’. The source does not mention the name of the prelate to whom Carmont was writing, but it was probably his own bishop, John Strain.
19 SCA, ED/12/94/2, ‘Carmont to Archbishop Strain sending him a copy of his medical certificate, 6 June 1882’. For a similar note sent to Bishop Angus MacDonald, see SCA, ED/12/94/1. It is not entirely clear why Carmont sent a note to a bishop other than his own. Presumably, he was simply writing to all those who he assumed were trustees of the Mitchell fund.
20 SCA, ED/12/94/3, ‘Carmont to Strain, 22 June 1882’; SCA, ED/12/94/15,’Carmont to Strain, 24 June 1882’. It is interesting to note that sometime in 1867, Strain gave Carmont £200, which Carmont assumed was a gift since no interest was ever applied or any attempt made to recover the money. Moreover, Carmont stated he was unaware of the money’s source, but it is a possibility—and therefore another irony of the case—that it came from the Mitchell fund. See SCA, ED/12/101/12, ‘James Carmont to William Smith, 29 October 1884’.

25 SCA, Diocese of Dunkeld, 3/32/4, ‘Copy of Memorial to Propaganda agreed by all the Archbishops and Bishops of Scotland, 18 March 1882’. This may also explain why John Patrick Crichton Stuart, the Marquess of Bute stipulated in his trust disposition that any new persons assuming the role of trustees were to explicitly agree that the Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, who was also a trustee, was not to have legal immunity. See Marquess of Bute’s Trustees v Marquess of Bute, No. 11, 2d Division, 16 November 1904 (1904), 7 F. 49

27 Galloway, Argyll and the Isles and Dunkeld were suffragan sees of the Archdiocese of St Andrew’s and Edinburgh. The Diocese of Aberdeen was also a suffragan see of the same Archdiocese. The Archdiocese of Glasgow had no suffragan sees until Motherwell and Paisley dioceses were erected from it in 1947.

38 After some difficulty, it seems the Judicial Factor was able to present a reasonably full picture of the extent of payments to beneficiaries in each district. Between 1867 and 1883, payments of £1,976 had been made to qualifying priests in the Eastern District and £8,634 in the Western District. All payments in the Northern District, he reported, were accounted for. See SCA, ED/12/99/1, ‘Report by James Alexander Molleson, Judicial Factor Appointed in Petition: The Rev.

51 In one of their more salient moves, the bishops announced later in 1885 that their first factor was to be the Judicial Factor, James Alexander Molleson, who by now was presumably very familiar with the Mitchell Trust. See SCA, ED/12/105/5, ‘Excerpta di Lettere concernti il Process Carmont vs. Strain, 1885’. As an aside, it is worth mentioning that for his time as Judicial Factor, Molleson’s commission was £650, which the bishops paid.

62 Menzies left various sums of money to each of the districts, including £6,000 to the Vicar Apostolic of the Eastern District and £2,500 each to the Vicars Apostolic of the Western and Northern Districts, the purpose of which sums was to ‘secure payment of a perpetual annuity or yearly provision’.

74 Even as these cases rumbled on, the Archbishop of St Andrew’s and Edinburgh, in yet another potentially illegal move, was seeking ways in which he could depart from the mortis causa benefaction of Lady Louisa Stuart, who had endowed the mission of Peebles. That endowment turned out to be much more substantial on her death than when she had drawn up her deed. As such, the priest at Peebles was in receipt of a handsome yearly sum of money, seemingly much more than he required for his needs. The archbishop hoped to divert this money for other purposes. See SCAR, 24/142, ‘Excerpts from the last will and testament and trust disposition and settlement by Lady Louisa Stuart, 2 June 1867’; SCAR, 25/132, ‘Narration of Lady Louisa Stuart Situation, John Strain, 2 June 1882’; SCAR, 25/136, ‘Abp.

This role extended beyond the management of bequests. Bishops and priests also made investments, managed annuities for lay people and acted as scribes, witness and executors for Catholic last wills and testaments.

78 The restoration marked only one stage in the Scottish Catholic Church’s development. In the years that followed, Rome issued a number of other decrees. In 1881, for example, it issued the constitution Romanos Pontífices, which dealt with the issue of exemption for religious priests. Two years later, Propaganda issued a decree on the manner in which Scottish bishops should be elected. Consequently, chapters of canons were established in Glasgow in 1884 and in St Andrew’s and Edinburgh in 1885. The other dioceses followed: Aberdeen in 1892, Dunkeld in 1895, Galloway in 1901 and Argyll and the Isles in 1907. The Scottish Church was formally released from the care of Propaganda in 1908 by virtue of the Apostolic Constitution Sapienti Consilio. That was quickly followed by Apostolic Visitations in 1912 and 1917, the latter of which highlighted many of the problems discussed in this article, including the misuse of capital and trusts and financial mismanagement more generally.
