564    of such trust funds; and provided, further, that consolidation
565    of trust funds is approved by the Governor or the Chief Justice.
566          3. All such moneys are hereby appropriated to be expended
567    in accordance with the law or trust agreement under which they
568    were received, subject always to the provisions of chapter 216
