The object of the following pages is to place before the public the numerous advantages and facilities which are aflforded by the Universities and the Public Schools and Grammar Schools of this country, for the education of the middle and higher ranks of society. The compiler has endeavoured to render the work a practical guide for parents in the selection of schools for their sons, that they may be enabled to participate in the benefits which the munificent founders of those splendid establishments have pro- vided for them. To those parents especially, who, having a nu- merous offspring and but limited means, intend to give their sons a collegiate education, the work will be peculiarly acceptable ; as it points out those schools in which, from their beneficial endow- ments, reputation, or locality, it may be desirable to place them ; and, in addition, contains an account of such exhibitions and scholarships as are in the patronage of Chartered Companies, &c. These, in most instances, are free from restriction as to persons or place. Several of these endowments however, have, from want of timely application for them, fallen into desuetude ; and the compiler is compelled to add, with regret, that the reader will find several instances, where the trusts reposed in these bodies a 341 VI PREFACE. have been cither but partially administered or totally perverted. The account now given of these trusts, by calling the public at- tention to their value, may tend to revive them, and prevent a recurrence of similar neglect. The attention of Under-graduates at the Universities, of mo- derate income, is particularly directed to this department of the work, as pointing out to them a fair and legitimate source of increasing their means, and of enabling them to uphold their character and station with respectability during their residence at the University. It may be necessary to add, that the Grammar Schools are arranged alphabetically according to their respective counties, and that to each county are prefixed the University advantages attached to the same. The compiler, in addition to the communications of many pri- vate friends, is largely indebted for the materials of his work to the very valuable Reports of the Commissioners for enquiring into Charities, and other public documents, besides Ackerman's His- tory of the Universities and Public Schools, Carlisle's Account of the Grammar Schools, the Oxford and Cambridge Calendars, and similar publications.

(now 50Z.) per annum each ; two (now Jive) from the University of Oxford, and two (now five) from Cambridge ; for the perpetuity of these scholarships, he bequeathed certain lands, " to the intent and purpose, that out of the yearly rents and profits of the said lands, &c., 100?. per an- num should be raised towards the maintenance of four poor scholars, whereof, two to be in the University of Oxford, and two of Cambridge. These scholars shall be chosen by the Vice-ChanceUor, the King's Professors, and Orator, there, for the time being, or the greatest part of them. Yet, my wiU is, that if any of my name or kindred shall happen to be poor, and to be a scholar in either Uni- versity, he shall be preferred to have the benefit of this maintenance before any scholar whatsoever. And my will is, that the said annuity and maintenance shall cease and determine to any such scholar, after he has been in the University for fourteen years. And likewise, it shall cease and determine to any such scholar that can attain to any preferment of a double value, and then the said annuity so detei-mining, shall be bestowed on some other scholar." William, brother and heir to John, Lord Craven, in 1649, drew up certain regulations for the management of this trust, which are as follow : — B 2 4 UNIVERSITY OF OXFOHD. 1 . ** That when any place shall be void, the Vice-Chan- cellor, the King's Professors, and the Orator for the time present, shall, within three day's notice thereof, cause an intimation to be set upon the door of the public library, of an election to be made on the tenth day following, if it be Term time, or, if it be vacation, the tenth day after the beginning of the next Term, in the grammar school. 2. That at the time of the election, the Vice-Chancellor, and all the rest of the electors then present in the Uni- versity, meet together, and give no promise or consent to any to be elected, before they so meet together, and all, or a major part, agree to the scholar to be elected. 3. That in the first place, respect be had to those who are of the Lord Craven's kindred or name. 4. That in defect of such, that scholar be preferred, who, upon good certificate of his manners, and due exa- mination of his learning, shall be found most worthy. 5. That none be chosen who is a graduate in the Uni- versity, or Fellow, or Scholar of any College, or whose parents are well kno^vn to be of ability to maintain him otherwise, except he be of the kindred or name of the Lord Craven." Wniiam, Lord Craven, transferred the estate subject to the trust, into the hands of certain Trustees. Those for Oxford now are, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Dean of Exeter; and for Cambridge, the Bishops of Peterborough, and Bath and Wells, and the Master of Trinity College. By a decree of the Court of Chancery, in 1819, the in- come of the scholars was augmented to bOl. a-year eack, and the number increased to Jive in each University ; the additional scholarships, however, are only tenable for seven years. Charles Vinier, Esq., by will, dated December, 1755, left the sum of r2,000Z. to this University, to found a pro- fessorship, and to establish such fellowships and scholar- ships of the Common Law, as the University might deem fit. They are elected by the Convocatici ; the numbers vary according to the state of Mr. Vinier's revenues. The fellows receive 50l. a-year, and the scholars 30^ As to the Fellows, they must be unmarried, and belong to some College or Hall in the University ; and must have taken their M.A. degree, or that of B.C.L. Preference to be given to such as have been scholars on this foundation. Candidates for scholarships, must have completed twenty- four calendar months, from the time of their matriculation. The fellowships and scholarships tenable for ten years. Bean 3Irelantr*0 Stfjolar^ftip^* John Ireland, D.D., the present Dean of Westminster, in April, 1825, founded four scholarships for the pro- motion of classical learning and taste in the said Uni- versity, under certain regulations, and for this purpose, transferred to the University the sum of 4,000Z. three per cent. Consols. Candidates to be undergraduate members of the University, who have not exceeded their sixteenth term from their matriculation. No regard to be had as to place of birth, school, parentage, or pecuniary circum- stances of the candidates. The Trustees are, the Vice-Chancellor, the two Proc- tors, the Provost of Oriel, and the Dean of Christ Church, for the time being. B 3 6 UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD VISITOR, The King.

He likewise directed that the IMayor, &c., should not refuse any honest man's, gentleman's, or rich man's son, or other in the said town and elsewhere, that should be willing to have any of them taught in the said school, provided the Master is able to teach the number, and the school capable of con- taining them. The Master is allowed to have ten private pupils. Endowment of the school consists of a school-house at Abingdon, sufficient in addition for the residence of the Master and Usher; and two houses in Birchin Lane, London, let to the London Assurance Office for a term of sixty-one years, from Michaelmas 1792, at 80^. per annum. William Bennett, in 1608, left by will lands at Bluns- den, Wilts., for the benefit of six boys on this foundation, towards clothing and apprenticing the same, producing about 140/. per annum. Thomas Tesdale, by wiU, in 1609, bequeathed certain glebe lands, tithes, &c. of his rectory of Ratley, Wanvick, to be employed in the main- tenance of an Usher to this school; let at 97l- Us. 3d. per annum, and paid to an Usher, who confines himself to the instruction of Bennett's six boys in the Greek and Latin languages. EXHIBITIONS. This school is entitled to the benefit oi four exhibi- tions at Pembroke College, Oxford, on the respective en- dowments of Thomas Tesdale and Richard Wightwick ; the scholars on Bennett's foundation to be preferred, if BUCKS.] ABINGDOX. 137 any should be found fit, otherwise from others educated in the said school, properly qualified. Bennett's scholars seldom offer themselves as candi- dates, and of late years when vacancies have occurred, it has been the custom for boys who have been educated elsewhere to engage as private pupils at this school, for the sole purpose of qualifying themselves, by being in the school, for becoming candidates at the next election. These candidates are generally successful, and the Master, (when boys have come to the school with such a view,) requires a specific sum on their admission. The rule is, that every boy coming as a private pupil, within twelve months of an expected election, for the purpose of offer- ing himself as a candidate, has to pay twenty gumeas to the Master on his admission.

Founded by Edmund Grindall, Archbishop of Canter-' bury, by letters patent from Queen Elizabeth, dated April 1583. HEAD MASTER, Rev. THOMAS BRADLEY. There are about 100 boys in the school. The school appears, by the founder's statutes, to have been intended to be free only to boys of Cumberland and Westmorland j but this is not adhered to, for boys from any other county are admitted. It is customary for all boys to present a gratuity on entrance, and also annually at Shrovetide. This latter is commonly called a Cockpenny, Both are quite voluntary and cannot be demanded. Whatever is offered is received without any observation, and all pa- rents who make inquiry are told, that the entrance money and cockpenny are merely gratuitous. The usual entrance gratuity is three guineas and a half, of which the Head Master receives two guineas, the Usher one, and the Writing-Master half a guinea. The cockpenny generally amounts to the same sum, and is divided in the same manner. Some few persons pay five guineas entrance, and the same sum annually. The general course of instruction in the school is clas- sical ; but if the parents wish it, their children are taught reading, ^vriting, and accounts only. The Head Master takes twenty boarders. The other boys, who are not sons of inhabitants of St. Bees, board and lodge in the village. EXHIBITIONS.

And he desired that the Mayor and Chamber should choose out of the freemen of the city, a sober, frugal, substantial person, who should be a tradesman and not an attorney, to pay the exhibitioners ; which receiver should enter in a register the certificates of residence of the exhibitioners, and should every year lay his accounts and the said certi- ficates before the Mayor and Chamber of Exeter, in the Guildhall, on some IMonday between Christmas and Lady-day, as the Mayor should appoint ; and the Mayor and Chamber were to assign him a moderate salary, and enjoin him, by oath or otherwise, to act faithfully in his office, and not to take any fee or bribe from the exhi- bitioners, who were to be styled ** Dr. Stephens'' s Exhi- bitioners."

And he desired the Mayor and Chamber to take to them two learned clergymen, or more, of the said city or the county of Devon, to examine the candidates publicly in the free school, that any persons might hear the examinations, and judge of the merit of the boys. And he insisted, that every exhibitioner who should be elected, should within two months afterwards repair to Oxford or Cambridge, and enter in some College or Hall, and reside therein nine months out of the twelve, every one of the first four years^ from the day of his election.

" If any of those places shall be void, and the school wherein the election is to be made have no scholar at that time qualified to be elected, then the place or places void shall be supplied out of the other school, if it hath any fit or eligible. 6th.

" If hereafter the two grammar schools in the said city shall be turned into one, then from thenceforth all the said four scholars shall be chosen out of the school remaining, by the Mayor, Recorder, and Schoolmaster, or any two of them, as aforesaid. 9th.

He further directed, that there should not be above 150 scholars at one time, and those to be boys, not above the age of eighteen, nor under six, bom or for the most part before the age of six brought up in the town or parish of Tiverton ; and that if the number should not be filled up, the want should be supplied by the children oi foreigner Sy to be admitted with the assent and allowance of such ten householders of Tiverton, as for the time being should be most in the subsidy books of the Queen and her successors ; and that they should choose the children of foreigners, without regarding the rich more than the poor. And the Schoolmaster was to have the use of the rooms and build- ings aforesaid, and 50Z. a-year, and an Usher was to have one chamber in the building, and twenty marks a-year. And the testator declared his desire and will to be, that they should be satisfied therewith, without exacting more of parent or children ; his meaning being, that it should be a free school, and not a school of exaction. And for the maintenance of the said free grammar school, he devised all his lands, tenements, and hereditaments in the county Devon] tiverton. 167 of Devon, to twenty-seven Trustees and their heirs, in trust, to pay the said salaries to the Master and Usher, and 405. a-year to a clerk, for keeping the accounts, &c., and 81. a-year for the repairs of the school and other things necessary to the same. And he directed that the Trustees for the time being, or the most part of them, should make, abolish, and set down such orders, &c. touching the school and all matters thereof, and all parties interested therein, as to them or the most part of them for the time being should be thought meet ; and that the Schoolmaster and Usher should be appointed and displaced by them, with the approbation as to such appointment of the ordinary of the diocese, and that when the Trustees were reduced to thirteen, the number should be made up to twenty-five. And as his lands in Devon were not of sufficient value to supply his wiU con- cerning the said school, &c., he directed that his execu- tors should purchase lands or rents for a full supply thereof, the overplus to be employed to the performance of the rest of his wiU. All free boys (as defined by IVIr. BlundeU's will) are considered admissible, and are admitted on being sent to the school when they are six years of age, and fit to enter upon grammar; they receive a classical education with the other scholars, and may continue at school till they are eighteen years of age. The school buildings are well adapted for a large es- tablishment. The Master, who has the care of the upper school, has a house capable of containing about 100 boarders, with a garden and meadow. The Usher or Under Master, who instructs the lower school, has a house capable of containing about forty boarders, with a garden. 1()8 KXDOWET) OIlAMMAIl SCHOOLS, [dEVOX. FELLOIVSHIPS and SCHOLARSHIPS. Mr. Blundell directed his executors to bestow 2,000^. in establishing six scholarships at either of the Uni- versities of Oxford or Cambridge ; and with that view they were directed to purchase lands and tenements, the yearly profits whereof should be employed in their main- tenance for ever ; such scholars to be elected by his Trus- tees or the most part of them, with the advice of the Schoolmaster, out of the said grammar school at Tiver- ton, of the aptest in learning, and such as were least able to maintain themselves. In consequence of the direction in Peter Blundell*s will, that 2,000/. should be bestowed in founding six scholarships in the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge, deeds of composition were in 1615 and 16 16, entered into with BalUol College, Oxford, and Sidney Sussex College^ Cambridge, respectively, from which it appears that 700?. were expended by the executors towards purchasing lands at Woodstock, Oxfordshire, for the maintenance of a fellow and scholar at Balliol College, and 1,400/. towards purchasing lands at Clea, Lincolnshire, for the main- tenance of two fellows and two scholars at Sidney Sussex College. In 1676, another fellowship and scholarship were established at Balliol College in the same man- ner ; for which purpose the sum of 650/., which had arisen from fines and surplus of income, was paid by the feoflfees of the charity to that College. These fellows and scholars now form a part of the foundation of their re- spective Colleges; but the scholars, in addition to the emoluments derived from the College, receive an allowance of 30/. each per annum, from the funds of this charity. Under the terms of agreement with the Colleges, it DEVON.] TIVERTON. 169 sometimes happens that a fellowship to which a scholar is entitled to succeed, becomes vacant before he is of suf- ficient age or standing to be admitted thereto, and in such cases, this augmentation is continued till he is in the re- ceipt of the emolument of his fellowship. But as a new scholar is admitted by the College upon the fellowship becoming vacant, the average number of scholars receiv- ing this augmentation is about five. Halm's Scholarship. John Ham, by will bearing date the 1st May, 1678, directed his executor, with the advice of Mr. Blun- dell's feoffees, to bestow 200Z. towards the maintenance of a scholar at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, or Balliol College, Oxford, to be chosen by the feoffees for the time being, out of the scholars taught in Tiver- ton School, and boni in the same town, if any be fit, and in default of such, then open to the parishes nearest adjacent that should be fit, and there taught, accord- ing to such agreements and compositions as the said feoffees should make with the Master and Fellows of either of the said Colleges. And upon the contingency of his son John succeeding by the death of his brother Robert, to a certain estate in his will mentioned, he gave 100/. more to Mr. Blundell's feoffees, for the same pur- poses as the before-mentioned 200/. From the Master's report in 1/40, in a cause of the Attorney-General, it appears that proposals were laid be- fore him, and approved of by him, for the disposal of the surplus produce of Mr. Blundell's charity, either in aug- mentation of the stipends of the scholars on his founda- tion at Balliol College, Oxford, and Sidney Sussex Col- lege, Cambridge, or in the addition of new scholarships Q 170 ENDOWED GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

Richard Down, Esq. died in 1813, having himself nomi- nated the first exhibitioner under his gift, which he did soon after the date of his trust deed.

The free grammar school of Brentwood was founded by Sir Anthony Browne, by letters patent, dated 5th July, 4 and 5 of Philip and Mary, for the better instruction and education of the youth of the neighbouring county. The emoluments of the Master are very considerable, and for reasons, that it is not our intention to inquire into, the property of this charity is now under the investigation of the Court of Chancery. The school is open for the free and gratuitous instruc- tion of any boys of Brentwood and the neighbourhood, without any specific limitation as to distance, and no qua- lification for admission is required, and books and all other materials are provided at the Master's expense. There are about 100 scholars on the foundation, prin- cipally the sons of farmers and tradesmen. EXHIBITION.

There are generally not more than seven boys on the foundation ; and for many years past, the average num- ber does not appear to have much exceeded this. The Master lives in the school-house and premises (which are extensive, comprising about three acres,) rent free, a sa- lary of 50?. per annum, and maintains there a considerable boarding school. The foundation boys are taught with the boarders, and learn Greek, Latin, and English read- ing, gratis ; but if they also learn writing and arithmetic, they pay three guineas a-year. All these boys are, at present, from the town of Sevenoaks ; but there appears no limitation, either in the founder's will, or the charter, or the ancient ordinances, as to the place from whence the scholars are to come. EXHIBITIONS. Four of 15Z. per annum each, for four scholars from this school, to either Oxford or Cambridge, arising from property belonging to the school.

[kENT. in the touTi of Tunhridge," and power was also given to the Company to take lands and tenements to them as such governors by their said coqjorate name, towards the sup- port of the said school. Sir Andrew Judd, by his will, stating that he had erected a free grammar school at Tunbridf/e, in Kent, for the maintenance thereof, did bequeath unto the Master and Wardens of the Company of Skinners, of the city of London, certain premises therein described, as all that his croft of pasture, with the appurtenances, called the Sandhills *, situate and being on the backside of Holboiii, in the parish of St. Pancras, Middlesex; and other estates situate in the parishes of AUhallows, Gracechurch-street j St. Lawrence, Pountney j St. Peter's, Cornhill; St. Helen's, Bishopsgate: and St. Mary Axe. In 1820, a suit having been instituted in the Court of Chancery, touching the school estates, and the applica- tion thereof, and for the establishment of the school, by the decree made therein, it was, amongst other things, re- ferred to one of the Masters of the said court, to approve of a scheme for the future establishment of the free gram- mar school, having regard to the then annual rents of the school estates. By the report of the said Master in December, 1824, he certified, that, having considered the several schemes which had been laid before him, together with the said letters patent and the said orders or statutes of the said Sir Andrew Judd, he had thought it expedient and * This estate is now let on building leases, and consists of Burton Cres- cent, Judd Place East and West, Tunbridgc Place, Mahlcdon Place, Bidbo- roxigh, Hadlow, Speldhurst, Leigh, and various other streets in that neigh- bourhood. The income of this school is about 5,000/. per annum, and, by a recent decision of the Court of Chancery, the ivhole of the same is appli- cable to the uses of the school. KENT.] TUN BRIDGE. 203 proper that the privileges* of the said free grammar school should not only extend to boys and youths whose parents or guardians should bond fide reside within the to^vn and parish of Tunhridge, but also to such boys and youths whose parents or guardians should reside in any other parish or place in the county of Kent, within the distance of ten miles by the ordinary roads and ways from the church of the said town of Tunbridge j which boys and youths should be considered as constituting the FIRST CLASS ; and, that there might be a sufficient num- ber of youths to receive the exhibitions thereinafter men- tioned, he had thought it proper, and advisable, that there should be another, or second class, comprehending all boys and youths of the United Kingdom of Great Bri- tain, who, being qualified under the regulations therein- after mentioned, should be capable of receiving the said exhibitions: and the said Master being of opinion that exhibitions for youths going from the said school, to either of the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge, might be most beneficially established, he had prepared such arti- cles as appeared to him to be necessary for effectuating that purpose, and also such other new articles, as from the then present circumstances appeared to him to be ne- cessary for the future government and establishment of the said free grammar school, and that the several articles thereinafter set forth in his said report formed, and he had approved of the same as a proper scheme for the fu- ture establishment of the said free grammar school from * A controversy arose in 1764, upon the construction of the charter, re- specting the limits to which the privileges of the school extended, which was then settled by the opinions of Mr. Yorke, Sir F. Norton, and Sir W. Blackstone, taken upon a case stated to them by the governors. This point is now finally set at rest. 204 ENDOWED GRAMMAR SCHOOLS. [kENT.

Subsequently to this, it has been decreed that the sum to be allowed out of this charity, for an exhibition, or pension to scholars at one of the Universities, should be increased from 80Z. to 120/. ; and it is also proposed, that the Trustees should have power, in case their funds shall be suflficient for that purpose, to grant to a se- cond exhibitioner or pensioner at one of the Univer- sities, such annual sum as they shall think proper, not ex- ceeding 100/.; no abatement to be made out of the other allowances to provide for this second exhibition, and if the funds should be deficient, a proportional abatement to be made. And for the purpose of increasing the number of persons qualified to take the benefit of the said exhi- bition or allowance, it is also proposed, that the qualifica- tion of an exhibitioner, as fixed by the will of the said James Barker, and thereby confined to a poor scholar born in the town of Kirkham, be extended to any poor LANC ] MIDDLETON PRESCOT. 211 scholar bom in any part of the parish of Kirkham, and bred at, and sent from the said school, but that a prefe- rence should be, in all cases, given to a poor scholar born in the said town of Kirkham, in case one shall appear duly qualified.

[lINC. EXHIBITIONS. By a decree of the Court of Chancery in 1815, amongst the rules for the regulation of this school, the following occurs with regard to exhibitions : — ** That the surplus of the rents, &c. of the estates belong- ing to this school, should be applied and appropriated to- wards the founding, creating, and maintaining of one or more exhibitions at either Oxford or Cambridge, as the Aldermen and Burgesses of Granthaniy with the advice and concurrence of the Bishop of Lincoln, may be agreed on, for such scholars as rnay have been educated at this school ; preference, in the first instance, to those on the foundation ; in failure, then those educated in the school. No scholar eligible to such exhibitions, unless he shall have duly attended and have been educated at least two years immediately preceding his going to any College at either of the Universities, and shall have obtained from the Schoolmaster a certificate of such attendance, and also certifying that such scholar so oflfering himself a candidate for such exhibition is duly qualified in respect to learning, and of good morals and behaviour. The exhibition not to exceed 501. per annum, nor less than 30Z. Exhibitions tenable (or four years. '* The surplus averages 3001. per annum ; part of which is annually applied in exhibitions, and the remainder as an accumulating fund for this purpose. In 1763, Dr. Newcome founded two exhibitions for the support of two scholars, who come properly qualified in morals and learning from the grammar school of Grantham, and are admitted of St. John's College, Cam- bridge — if not, from some otlicr school in Lincolnshire j LINC] GRANTHAM. 219 each to receive 20/. per annum, so long as they shall reside nine months in the year and behave well, till they proceed to M.A., or become fellows of the said College. If, on a vacancy, there are more candidates than one, it is left to the Master and seniors of the College to elect which of them they think the most proper and deserving. Tenable for four years. Rev. Thomas Lovett, of Nottingham, by will founded in Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, two exhibitions of the annual value of 451. each; and he directed that no scholar or person whatever shall be entitled to such ex- hibitions, except the son of a clergyman of the Established Church of England, and whose father, if living, shall then be, or if dead, shall have been in Priests' orders, and duly qualified for such orders by having taken a regular de- gree in the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge; and unless such scholar or person shall be intended to go intO' holy orders, and shall by himself or friends previously promise and engage that he will enter into Deacons' or- ders, at or before such time as he shall attain to the age of twenty-three years. Mr. Lovett further directed, " that a preference and a priority, to the nomination and ap- pointment to such exhibitions and each of them, shall at all times be given to a person or scholar duly qualified according to the true intent and meaning of his will, who has been educated, taught, and instructed in the free grammar school of Grantham, in preference, or the free grammar school of Oakham, in case of the former failing to fill the vacancy, for the space of three years at least."

In 1613, Thomas Cecil, Earl of Exeter, by indenture, gave a yearly rent of 108?. to the Master, Fellows, and Scholars of Clare Hall, Cambridge, for founding three fel- lowships and eight scholarships ; the three fellows to be called ** the Earl of Exeter his fellows," and not to be un- der the degree of B.

Countess of Exeter, her scholars ;" and upon con- dition, that, as often as any of the three fellowships or eight scholarships became void during the life of the said Earl or his son, he or his son should nominate and ap- point to the said Master and Fellows of Clare Hall, a meet person for every such of the said fellowships or scho- larships as should then be void ; and that after the death of the Earl and his eldest son, when any of the scholarships became void, it was agreed that the Master, Fellows, and Scholars of Clare Hall, in their nomination and election of new scholars into the said scholarships which so shall be void, shall principally prefer such persons of the said University as formerly have been taught and instructed in the school of Stamford, in the county of Lincoln, if in respect of their learning and honest conversation they shall be found as fit and able as others which shall be competitors with them for the said scholarship. These fellowships have been much increased in value by the Master and Fellows of Clare Hall. Lord Exeter's scho- larships are 2l. per week ; and those of Lady Exeter's are \l. Qs. per week. Mr. Thomas Truesdale, by will in 1700, vested 50/, in the hands of the Corporation of Stamford, for free- bom scholars belonging to the free school, going directly from thence to the University, who pay five per cent, in- terest for the same.

CLOTH-WORKERS COMPANY. 323 Edward Pilswortli, citizen and cloth-worker, by his will dated the 7th of July 1603, gave and devised all his messuages, lands, tenements, and hereditaments, within the city of London, with the appurtenances, &c., amongst various other purposes, to pay yearly, for ever, 5l. to- wards the exhibition and maintenance of a poor scholar in Magdalen College, Oxford.

William Hewett, by will dated the 4th of April, 1599, bequeathed to the Company llOZ., to the intent that they should allow yearly, for ever, 5l. to some poor honest scholar of Cambridge studying divinity. The exhibition paid to a student at Cambridge is now lOZ. a-year, the Company having lately raised all the ex- hibitions in their disposal to that amount, from their own funds. The exhibitioner is appointed by the Court of Assistants, upon petition, accompanied by a certificate from the College to which the candidate belongs, that he is studying divinity. The exhibition is held for six years. John Heath, in 1665, gave to the Company 1,000/., on condition that they should distribute yearly 50/. ; and directed that, amongst other purposes, they should yearly pay to two poor scholars, one of Oxford, and the other of Cambridge, studying divinity, whose surnames should be Heath, bOs. a-piece ; and if there be none such, then to two such other poor scholars in the said Universities as the Company should think fit; no scholar to enjoy the same above six years. 324 CHARTERED COMPANIES.

With regard to this annuity, and other trusts under the will of Mr. Bucke, the Commissioners for inquiring into Charities, state, " that the annuity of 3/. 6s. 8d., de- vised for an exhibition to St. John's College, Cambridge, appears to have been regularly paid till 1793, but since that time it has been withheld.

We have the au- thority of the clerk of the Company for stating, that they are ready to pay the arrears which have accrued in re- spect of this branch of the charity, whenever they are le- gally called on so to do, as well as those which have arisen since the discontinuance of the other pa}Tnents di- rected by the testator. It remains for us only to express a hope, that as the sums due in respect of the several gifts are ascertained, the Company will lose no time in discharging the claims upon them ; and that they will, in future, make the annual payments with punctuality." John Craj'thorne, by will dated 21st November 1568, gave the reversion of the messuage or tenement called the Bell Savage, situate within the parish of St. Bride's, in Fleet Street, London, after the decease of JMargaret, his wife, to the Master, Wardens, and Commonalty of the Company of Cutlers within the city of London, and their successors, for ever, upon condition, that the said Master, Wardens, and Commonalty, should yearly give and bestow, after the decease of his said wife, 10/. in coals, viz. : every quarter of a year 505., and the same coals to be given and distributed to and among the poor people dwelling within the said parish of St. Bride, by the oversight of the two Churchwardens thereof, for the time being, and six of the chiefest householders within CUTLERS COMPANY. 32/ the same parish ; and also should yearly pay 61.

The inn called the Bell Savage, to- gether with the premises adjoining it, and forming a part of the estabhshment, are supposed to include the mes- suage wherein the testator dwelt, called ** the sign of the Rose in Fleet Street.'^ These are altogether let by the Company at the rent of 1,101Z. 10*. per annum. The several annuities mentioned in the will have been regu- larly paid ; but the Company have increased the two ex- hibitions, since the year 1800, to 6/. 135. Ad. each. The exhibitioners are appointed by the Company, and their annual stipend is paid to them until they take their Mas- ter's degree, or are otherwise preferred, upon the pro- duction of testimonials of their good conduct and regular residence in the University. f f 2 Sir Thomas Kneseworth, Knt., bequeathed a very con- siderable property to the Company for various charitable jnirposes ; the income of which is now but little short of 3,000/. per annum; and he directed that they should pay, annually, 4l. each to four priests, studying arts or divinity in one of the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge, to pray for his soul, &c. From the revenues of this estate, however, the Company have for some years past established twelve exhibitions for poor students at the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge J eleven of the exhibitioners receive from this fund 20/. a-year, and the remaining one l6l., his ex- hibition being made up 20Z. by the addition of a sum of 4Z., derived from the benefaction of Bernard Randolph, hereafter mentioned. Prior to 1804, the exhibitions were 10/. a-year. The exhibitioners are nominated by mem- bers of the Court of Assistants, in rotation, and elected by the Court. It is required, that the person nominated be already a member of some College in one of the Uni- versities, and that a certificate be produced from the heads of the College of his being entered and resident, and a declaration from the student himself, that he has not any certain annual income of 50/. On receiving their stipends, the exhibitioners are required to produce similar declarations, and certificates of actual residence during the half year for which the payments are claimed. They hold the exhibitions for seven years from their matricu- lation, or for such part thereof as they are actually re- sident.

Robert Carter, by will dated November 1563, gave a tenement in Thames Street, called the White Lyon, after the death of his wife, to his cousin, Richard Carter, who should convey the same, in case of his decease without issue of heirs male, to the Wardens and Commonalty of the mystery of Fishmongers, London, and that the said Wardens, &c. and their successors, for ever, should pay out of the rents and profits of the said tenement, 4/. a year to a poor scholar or student in St. John's College, Cambridge, such scholar not having above 4l. by exhi- bitions, or other ways or means.

JMark Quested, citizen and fishmonger of London, by will dated January 1G42, bequeathed to the Company of Fishmongers an estate at Hollingbourn, Kent, now pro- ducing 300^. per annum, for the purpose of building twelve alms-houses at Harrietsham, and for the support of twelve alms-people, &c. He directed also, out of the revenues of the estate, that the sum of 8/. a piece yearly should be paid to four INIasters of Arts, and to four stu- dents 4/. a piece yearly, so long as they should abide in either of the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge. These payments have never taken place, the funds not having hitherto been sufficient for the purpose. But from the recent renewal of the leases, the estates are let, as before mentioned, for 300/, per annum, and the disbursements are short of 200/. ; it is to be hoped that the Company will shortly be enabled to commence, after a lapse ap- proaching to two centuries, carrying into execution the charitable designs of the testator, as regards these Uni- versity payments. Philip Strelley bequeathed, in 1603, an estate to the Company, then of the value of 55/., in trust, among other purposes, that they should pay 10/. per annum out of the said yearly rent for and towards the exhibition and mainte- nance, in the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, of two such poor scholars as should be poor men's sons, born within the comities of Derby and Nottingham, and GOLDSMITHS COMPANY. 331 town of Nottingham, and city of Worcester, or any of them ; and for lack of such within the said counties and city, then towards the maintenance of such poor scholars as should be the sons of poor men of the said Company of Goldsmiths ; and for lack of them, then of such other poor scholars at the said Universities, as the said War- dens, Renters, and Goldfiners of the said mystery for the time being should think meet; (that is to say,) to every of the said poor scholars the sum of 51. for the space of seven years together, with a like preference to the sons of his tenants born within his manor of Ogarthorpe, and of others of his name and kindred. The two exhibi- tions are regularly paid to two scholars, one at each University, and continued for seven years, provided they reside so long. In the appointment of these exhibi- tioners, the order of preference directed by the donor is adhered to. John Periyn, formerly of East Acton, Middlesex, Esq., by will dated the 18th of December, 1656, gave and de- vised all his freehold messuages, farms, lands, tenements, and hereditaments in Acton aforesaid, to the Wardens and Commonalty of the mystery of Goldsmiths, London, and their successors, for ever, upon trust, among other things, to pay bl. a-year toward the maintenance of one scholar that should be bred up in Chrisfs Hospital, and sent to either Oxford or Cambridge. This bl. was transferred to the Governors of Christ's Hospital, and is merged in their exhibitions as detailed in p. 116. Under this will, the Company acquired an estate at Acton, Middlesex, consisting of two farms, &c., which now produces a rental of 105//. 185. Mr. Perryn only specified in his will certain payments to be made out of 332 CHARTERED COMPANIES. his estate, to the amount of aljout 82/. per annum ; hut he willed all the remninder of the rents and profits of the said premises in Acton aforesaid, should he (hy the War- dens of the Company of Goldsmiths, and sLx of the most discreet and ahle men of the same Company) disposed of and distrihuted to pious and charitahle uses ; — some part thereof to poor members of that Company, and for exhi- bitions for and towards the maintenance of Scholars in the Universities, and such other charitable uses as they should think meet. The Company have built, at very great cost, alms-houses at Acton, and with pensions to poor freemen of the Company, expend annually, on account of this trust, 12771- The Company, however, have never established exhibitions at the Universities, under the resi- duary clause of this will ; all applications for the same they have rejected, on the ground that the estate is in- debted to the Company for its large disbursements in the erection of the alms-houses at Acton. As the establish- ment of these exhibitions is mentioned by the testator, full as explicitly as that a portion should be applied to poor members of the Company, no just reason can be assigned why the whole should be devoted to this latter purpose : and the Company are bound in justice, to found, at all events, some exhibitions, even if the charge of the same is defrayed out of the general funds of the Company. Emme Backhouse, by will bearing date 2/th August 1587, gave a house in which she dwelt, and all the tene- GROCERS COMPANY. 333 ments thereto belonging, after certain limitations therein mentioned, to the use of the Master and Wardens of the Grocers Company, upon trust, to dispose out of the pro- fits of the same 40l., yearly, towards the maintenance, educating, and bringing up of four poor scholars in the University of Cambridge, and four scholars in the Uni- versity of Oxford, to each 51., to be named, placed, and displaced by the said Master, Wardens, and Company, at their discretion, hoping that they would prefer some of her own kindred to such scholarships, being fit for the same, before strangers ; and the residue of the profits of the said premises to be disposed to such good uses, as by the said Corporation should be thought convenient. The Company derived under the will of Emme Back- house two houses in Wood Street, and also a house in Steyning Lane, then in the occupation of the Haber- dashers Company, charged with the payment of 25Z. per annum to four scholars in the University of Oxford; and also with the sum of lOZ. per annum to two scholars in the University of Cambridge : but the scholarships at Jesus College, Oxford, appear to have been derived from a legacy of 500Z. given by Mary Robinson, next herein mentioned, and are stated in the account given of her benefaction, to have been charged upon the houses in Wood Street, by an order of the Court of Assistants. The four scholarships at Cambridge, and the same number at Oxford, established by Mrs. Backhouse, appear to have been thus reduced to two at the former University only. The reason for making this reduction has not been yet satisfactorily accounted for. The premises given by Mrs. Backhouse now consist of warehouses, &c., being No. 104, in Wood Street, let in three divisions, to Thomas Green, Robert Wilson, and 334 CHARTERED COMFAMES. Thomas Hunter, at rents amounting, after the deduction of land-tax, to 233/. \7s. 6d. The Company are not now in j)ossession of the house in Steyning Lane j but an an- nual sum of 20/. 6s. 8c?., considered as a fee-farm rent, received from the Haberdashers Company, subject to a deduction of 4/. for land-tax, is also understood to be de- rived from this gift. This estate, for many years previous to 1805, produced only 5lZ. 145. 2c?. per annum. The two exhibitioners at Cambridge are appointed by the Grocers Company, upon petitions from the candi- dates, and certificates of the residence and good conduct of the petitioners, from the colleges to which they belong. Tliey are allowed to hold the exhibitions till they take the degree of B.A., when others are appointed. IMary Robinson, by her will bearing date 13th Fe- bruary 1617, gave to the Grocers Company 500/., upon condition, trust, and confidence, that they should pur- chase so much land, or other^vise raise so much mainte- nance or yearly increase, as should amount to 25Z. a-year for ever above all charges, the same to be given yearly to four poor scholars of Jesus College, Oxford, at the nomi- nation of the said Company, to be paid quarterly to the said poor scholars, so as they should proceed and become students in divinity, and so become preachers of the Gospel ; and when any of them should attain better preferment, or die, their portion to be bestowed upon others. The manner in which the pajnnent of 25/. per annum in respect of this gift was charged upon the property given by Mrs. Emme Backhouse, has been already no- ticed in the account of her gift ; and this annual sum is remitted by the Company to the Principal of Jesus Col- GROCERS COMPANY. 335 lege, to be divided amongst the four exhibitioners. The occurrence of a vacancy upon each exhibitioner's taking the degree of B.A. is certified to the Company by the Principal, who at the same time sends a list of candidates to succeed to the exhibition. Petitions are also some- times received from the candidates themselves, and the appointment is made by the Company. Andrew Bayning, by will dated 4th October 1610, gave 120/, to the Grocers Company, to be disbursed upon a purchase of some house or lands of the yearly value of bl. above all charges, to the end that they should give yearly, for ever, 5/. towards the maintenance of a poor scholar, to be brought up in the University of Cam- bridge. Robert Cocke gave by his will, the date of which does not appear, to the Grocers Company, 100/,, on trust, to be- stow the same in lands, and dispose of the benefit thereof yearly, for ever, towards the maintenance and bringing up of one poor scholar in the University of Oxford or Cambridge, as to the Wardens of the said Company should seem meet. Extracts of the two last-mentioned wills appear in an old book of wills belonging to the Grocers Company; but these gifts are not mentioned in the inquisition, and no trace is found of them in the account books of the Company; it is, therefore, conjectured that they never were received by the Company. 33G CHARTER F.n COMPANIES. Mr. Nicholas Culverwell, by will dated the 22d day of October 1569, gave to the Master and Wardens of the art or mystery of Haberdashers in London 3001., whereof lOOZ. was to be for ever put forth, by advice of the As- sistants, to five of the poorest young men of the same Company, which should begin housekeeping, and should occupy some trade ; that is to say, every man to have 201 . for five years, putting in sufficient bond for repay- ment thereof, and then other five to have it for other five years, and so forth, for ever; and the other 200/. was given conditionally, that the Master and Wardens, upon receipt thereof, should be bound for the payment of 10/. yearly, for ever, to two of the poorest preachers studying divinity in the Universities ; that is to say, one at Christ Colkge, Cambridge, and the other in Magdalen College, Oxford, each of them 5/. a-year, and they to be named by Mr. Culversvell's wife during her life, and after her death by the Bishop of London, for ever. Two preachers studying divinity, one at Magdalen Col- lege, Oxford, the other at Christ College, Cambridge, ap- pointed by the Bishop of London, regularly receive the two exhibitions of 5/., the payment of which is secured by separate bonds to each College from the Company, dated the 4th December 1572, in the penalty of 150/. each. Mr. Robert Ofl^ley, by will dated April 1596, be- queathed to the Company 200/. for the founding of tico scholarships for the study of divinity in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge ; one of the scholars to be no- HABERDASHERS COMPANY. 337 minated by the Court of Assistants of the Company, with a preference to the son of a member of the Com- pany, and the other to be nominated by the Mayor, Al- dermen, and forty of the Common Council of the city of Chester, with a preference to the son of a citizen of the said city, each scholar to receive 5Z. a-year, and to retain the exhibition as long as he should remain at his studies in the University without promotion. It appears from the Company's books, that the two exhibitions of 5/. each were paid to the year 1674, but in that year that which was in the gift of the Company was discontinued. The other, to which the exhibitioner was nominated by the city of Chester, and which appears to have been established at Brasenose College, Oxford, con- tinued to be paid till the 1st August 1775, when that ex- hibition became vacant, and notice thereof was given to the Corporation of Chester, and also to the Principal of Brasenose College, Oxford; but no apphcations have been since made respecting it to the Company. Upon the recommendation of the Commissioners for inquiring into Charities, the Company have resolved that both these exhibitions should be set up, and that, in com- pensation for all arrears, lOZ. a-year should be paid to each exhibitioner, to commence from Christmas 1822. By indenture, dated the 20th January 1608, the Ha- berdashers Company, in consideration of 200Z. paid to them by iMrs. Frances Clarke, covenanted with her to pay yearly to two poor scholars 5Z. each, one of them to be of Christ Church, Oxford, and the other of any Col- lege in Cambridge ; the scholars not to hold the exhibi- tions more than yb«3 6 :{ Dividends "75 10 \2H l(i -.i 3(iO CIlAkTERED COMPANIES. Four exhibitioners now receive 24^. a-year each. They are appointed by the (ieneral Court, and the exhibitions are now always kej)t full. It is required that the candi- dates should be entered at some college in Cambridge^ and that they should produce from their college testimo- nials of good conduct, and further certificates of statutable residence are required upon every payment of the exhi- bitions. They retain their exhibitions for seven years, unless they previously obtain church preferment. This limitation of the duration of the exhibitions ap- pears to have long prevailed, but it may be doubted, whether it is in strict conformity with the intentions of Mrs. Robinson, who, from the terms of her will, appears only to have contemplated vacancies taking place by pre- ferment or death. The surplus of the present income, beyond the amount of the exhibitions, is carried to account, with a view to be applied in a permanent increase of the allowances, when it shall have reached a sufficient sum. By indenture, bearing date the 4th of December, 17th Elizabeth, between the Wardens and Commonalty of Mercers of the one part, and Lady Margaret North, widow of the Right Honourable Edward Lord North of the other part, reciting, that the said Lady Margaret North, of a charitable intent to advance learning, and to provide for the relief of some of her kinsmen, was minded, after her death, to advance the persons and children therein named; and, after all their deceases, to have /owr children continually for ever brought up in some gram- mar school, and after, in one of the Universities of MERCERS COMPANY, 36l Oxford or Cambridge j for accomplishing which, the said Lady Margaret North had paid to the said Wardens and Commonalty the sum of 500Z. ; the said Wardens and Commonalty, in consideration thereof, covenanted with the said Lady Margaret North, to pay to her 40Z. a-year for her life, and after her decease, to pay the same to the persons mentioned in the said indenture, in the propor- tions therein specified ; and after the death of all the said persons, to pay yearly to four male children, of the age of nine years or above, to be brought up and taught, first in some grammar school, and after in the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge (if they should be found apt to learning), 40 marks ; viz. to each of the said /oMr scholars, Ql. 135. 4c?. ; provided that, if either of the said children should not be kept at learning in some grammar school or university, or should be two years Master of Arts in either of the said universities, or advanced to any competent living, that then the payment to him should thenceforth cease, and that the other should be chosen in his place ; all which children were to be called the scholars of Lady Margaret North, and should be chosen, appointed, and taken from time to time by the Wardens and Assistants of the said Company for the time being, out of the male children proceeding from the aforesaid kinsmen ; and from lack thereof, from the kin of the said Lady Margaret North ; and for lack of such, the choice to be made of other children, apt for learning, according to the good discretion of the said Wardens and Assistants for the time being. This legacy, the same as Mrs. Robinson's, was invested in the purchase of the Chalgrave estate. From the arrears of Lady North's benefaction, which have been unappropriated from time to time, a sum of 1,850Z. three per cent, consols has been purchased, the I i 362 CHARTERED COMPANIES. annual dividend on which being 551. 10s. added to the original annuity of 26/. 13*. 4d. makes the present income of this charity 82/. 2s. 4d. No children are now kept at school from this fund ; hut four exhibitions, of 20/. each, are paid to four students at either university, who are appointed by the Court of Assistants, and paid upon similar testimonials and certificates, as IMrs. Robinson's exhibitioners. The surplus of income is carried to account, and at the audit in October 1820, there was a balance in hand of 23/. Is. 5\d. These exhibitions, as well as Mrs. Robinson's, are held for seven years, upon which it may be observed, that tbe limit of duration fixed by Lady North, was until the stu- dent should have been two years Master of Arts, or have obtained preferment. Thomas Rich gave by will, in 1672, to the INIercers Company, his tenements in St. Mary Axe, (consisting now of a house, let for 30/. per anmun,) which he charged with a payment of two exhibitions of 6/. each, to two scholars sent from INIercers School to the University. By the same will, he also charged the said premises with tlie further annual sum of 12/. to be paid to the Gover- nors of Chrisfs Hospital, for two other exhibitions of 61. each, to two poor scholars, who should have been educated in Chrisfs Hospital, and sent to the university. MERCHANT TAYLORS COMPANY. 363 Walter Fish, by his will dated I7th of September, 22d Elizabeth, devised to the Master and Wardens of the Blerchant Taylors Company, a house and tenement in Cannon Street, London, to hold to the said Company and their successors for ever, upon trust, that the Company should employ the rent of the said premises between ^??e poor studious scholars of St. John's College, Oxford, which should be most like to bend their studies to divi- nity, to be yearly di'V'ided between them, towards the amendment of their victuals and batteling. The sum of 22l. the present rental of the premises, is yearly paid to five poor scholars in divinity, of St. John's College, Oxford, to each 4l. 8s. John Juxon, by will dated 17th of August 1626, granted to the Master and Wardens of the IMerchant Taylors Company, and their successors, for ever, upon the discontinuance of certain lectures by the testator directed to be held (which have long since ceased), an annuity of I2l. per annum, issuing and payable out of certain lands purchased by him of Anthony Calcot, situ- ate at Mortlake, in the county of Surrey, to be by them paid according as they should think fit, at or before the feast of St. Thomas the Apostle, to some poor scholars, the one year in Oxford, and the other year in Cambridge, for ever.

Ss. being deducted on account of land-tax. The exhibition is constantly in a course of payment. John Vernon, by his will dated 10th October 1615, gave to the Master and Wardens of the Merchant Tay- lors Company 1,500Z. to purchase land to the value of 83/. by the year, or more, if the Master and Wardens could with that sum (which was after eighteen years purchase, and at the rate of 5/. 10*. in the hundred), which said 83Z. he directed, among other things, should be disposed of to four poor scholars, students in divinity in St. John's College, Oxford, l6l. yearly, viz. 4/. a man, to be elected by the Master, Wardens, and Assistants, to continue no longer than they should study divinity, and remain in the said college, or stand in the liking of the said jMaster, Wardens, and Assistants, and so to be dis- posed of from one to another for ever. John Wooller, by will dated 26th of March 1617, de- vised to the Master and Wardens of the Merchant Tay- lors Company, an annuity of 24/., to be issuing out of his messuage or tenement, with the wharf, and all other the appurtenances thereto belonging, called the Cross Keys, in Thames Street, in the parish of St. Magnus the Martyr, near London Bridge j to bestow the said yearly rent-charge of 24/. among other purposes, yearly, for ever, 405. to a poor scholar of the college of St. John's MERCHANT TAYLORS COMPANY. 365 in Oxford^ as should have most need, and intending to study divinity. The sum of 4/. per annum is paid yearly to a poor scholar of the college of St. John's in Oxford. Dr. John Andrew, by will bearing date 15th of May 1747, directed that his body should be interred in the chapel of Trinity Hall, Cambridge j and in order to make a suitable provision for his relations, (relying on the integrity of that Society), and for the future encourage- ment of learning, he directed that, as soon as a suitable purchase of a freehold estate should be met with, all his three per cent, annuities in the Bank of England should be sold and invested therein, and settled to the uses thereinafter mentioned, viz. that the rents and profits thereof should be paid to his sisters, Ann Andrew, Eliza- beth Woodward, Bridget Andrew, and Lois Andrew, for their joint lives, and to the survivors and survivor of them ; and after the death of the last survivor, to the use of the said Hall ; and he directed that four new scho- larships should be then founded, to be chosen from such as had been educated in Merchant Taylors School, in the city of London, who should have been in the bench or table of the said school ; who, beside the usual allowance and payments made to the other scholars of the house, should receive 5Z. quarterly from the bursar of the said College ; and that the remainder of the rents and profits of the said estate should be put out on government secu- rities, until there should be raised the sum of 20,000/. to be laid out in additional buildings to the said College, as therein mentioned, with certain allowances to the Master and officers of the College for making up the account, 1 i 3 366 CHAKTICKIiD ('(JMPAMES, and receiving and paying the rents of the estate ; and tliat after the 20,000/. should be so raised, he directed that/oi/r new civil low fellowships should be erected, and added to their number, with a provision that no person should be appointed to the same fellowships, unless he should have been educated at the same school; and that when the said fellowships should he added, the said ac- count should be discontinued, and the rents of the estate or estates be applied to the general use of the College ; but that the salary of 20/. a year to the bursar therein mentioned should be continued, and 10/. a year be added to that of the law-lecturer of the said College ; and he directed, that until a purchase should be made, the inte- rest and dividends of the aforesaid three per cent, annu- ities should be received by his executrix, for the use of herself and her said sisters, in equal shares The testator, among other legacies, gave to his brother, the Rev. William Andrew, 1,050/. lent by the testator upon the Huntingdon and Cambridge turnpikes, to be applied to the support and maintenance of his son John Andrew, during his natural life, in such manner as his brother should direct ; and after his decease, he gave the said 1,050/. to the said Master and Fellows of the said College, to be laid out in land, towards the better sup- port of the additional scholarships and fellowships ; and until they were erected, the profits thereof were to make part of the fund intended for the additional buildings ; and the testator gave to his brother's son WiUiam, the interest and dividends of 500/. Bank stock, during his life, the said capital stock to be transferred to the afore- said College ; and after the death of the said William, to be applied in like manner as the said 1,050/. ; and he directed all the rest and residue of his estate, except MERCHANT TAYLORS COMPA.N'Y. 367 IjOOOZ. East India stock, which he devised to his sister Ann, to be equally divided among his sisters, but that in case any of them should die before a division was made, their share should go to the survivors. And he appointed his sister, Lois Andrew, executrix of his said will. By a codicil to his said will, bearing even date there- with, he directed, that in case his sister Bridget should survive her sisters Woodward and Lois, as her health would not permit her to enjoy what he had given her, that the College should pay her 200/. a year ; and that the remainder of his three per cents, and India stock, should be applied to the account towards additional building, or the profits of the estate purchased therewith ; and that whereas his sister Ann was then deceased, he directed that the 1,000/. East India stock, given to her by his said will, shoidd be added to his three per cent, annuities, and be applied in the same manner with them. By an indenture of three parts, made 6th February 1801, between Thomas Harrison Andrew, of Moss Hall, Finchley, in the' county of Middlesex, (therein described as the residuary devisee and legatee of James Andrew, who was heir-at-law and only next of kin of Dr. John Andrew, and also residuary devisee and legatee, and only next of kin of Lois Andrew, spinster, deceased, one of the residuary devisees and legatees, and next of kin of the said Dr. John Andrew) of the first part ; the Master and Wardens of the said Company, of the second part ; and the President and Scholars of St. John's College, Oxford, of the third part ; reciting the said will and codicil, and the death of the testator with- out issue ; and deducing the representation, real and personal, to the said Thomas Harrison Andrew, and 368 CHARTERED COMPANIES. statinfif that the said testator at the time of making his will and codicil, and at his death, was possessed of 500/.

The above arrangement was subsequently confirmed by a Decree of the Court of Chancery, dated 21st June 1802 ; and by the same decree it was referred to the Master to compute interest on the sum of 2,6 lOZ. from the date of the indenture, who accordingly computed the same, and reported, that from the date of the said inden- ture to the 28th November 1802, being the date of such report, the said interest amounted to 247?. 2s. 3d. which being added to the sum of 2,6101. made the sum of 2,857/- 25. 3c?. to be paid to the defendants, the Master and Wardens of the said Company, according to the decree. The Master further stated, that he had not taxed costs, as the parties had not brought their bills before him. The above-mentioned sums, so allotted by the said agreement and decree to the Merchant Taylors Company, were transferred to them agreeably to the directions thereof.

I, William Stuart, Doctor in Divinity and Chancellor of the diocese of Exeter, being in perfect mind and memory, and mindful of my mortality, do make and declare my last will and testament, in manner and form following ; — ** To my beloved wife, Mary Stuart, I give, as a jointure, the sum of 2,500/., for her to enjoy all the in- terest, income, or profits of the said sum during her na- tural life, and after her decease to be inherited by the child or children which God shall give me by her. *' But, if it shall please God that I shall die childless, then from and after the decease of my said dear wife, the said sum of 2,500Z., enjoyed by her as above said, shall descend to be equally divided between my nephew the Rev. JMr. Charles Stuart and my niece Mary Stuart, and to their or either of their children, to be enjoyed by them and the survivor of them. ** And, in the meanwhile, if the said sum of 2,500/., so given as a jointure to my dear wife, and after her death to be divided between my said nephew and niece, should be found not safe in the hands, or under the securities, I shall have put them out upon, it shall then be in the power of my said dear wife, by and with the consent of my said nephew and niece, but not in the power of my said nephew and niece without the free and actual con- sent of my said dear wife, to call in any part of the said 2,500/. as they shall see cause to think not safe, but shall be obliged to put it out again in such a manner as shall be to the satisfaction and security of my said dear wife. ** In case my said nephew and niece should die un- married, or by their marriage should have or leave no Kk 374 CHARTERED COMPANIES. child behind them, then my will and meaning is, and I do hereby give and bequeath unto the Head Master of Merchant Taylors JSchool, in London, for the time being, and to the President and Fellows of St. John BaptisVs College, in Oxford, for the time being, the sum of 1,250^., being one moiety of the said 2,500/. above mentioned; and the other moiety of the said 2,500/. I likewise give and bequeath unto the Head Master of the school above mentioned, for the time being, and to the Master and Fellows of Pembroke Hall, in Cambridge, for the time being ; in trust, nevertheless, and for the sole use and purpose hereinafter mentioned, and for no other ; that is to say, that the Head Master of the said school, and the Heads and Fellows of the said two Colleges respectively, shall, within two years after they are entitled to their re- spective moieties, lay out the same in the best manner they can devise, to answer for ever the design for which I give the said sums ; that is to say, that a boy \\'ho has continued in Merchant Taylors School five years, at least, in hopes of being elected out of it, and has come the nearest to it, and yet lost the election for no fault in morals or defect in learning, but by superannuation only, that the said scholar may have no reason to think his time lost, or himself unhappy on that account, the inte- rest and profit annually arising out of that 1,250/., which I have given to the Head jMaster of ]\Ierchant Taylors School, and to the President and Fellows of St. John Baptist's College, in Oxon., in trust, I have given for the use and encouragement of that one superannuated scholar that shall enter himself in the said College of St. John Baptist, Oxon., to be enjoyed by him for the space of eight years and no longer, or for so long only as he shall reside there, and duly perform all the exercises that the MERCHANT TAYLORS COMPANY. 376 Statutes of that University and of the said College require by Scholars, Bachelors, and Masters of Arts. The other 1,250Z., which I have given, in trust, to the Head Master of Merchant Taylors School aforesaid, and to the Master and Fellows of Pembroke Hall, in Cambridge, I design for the use and encouragement of another scholar of Mer- chant Taylors School that shall be superannuated as aforesaid, and shall enter himself of Pembroke Hall, in Cambridge; and he shall receive and enjoy all the in- terest and profits annually arising from the said 1,250?. for the space of seven years, from his first entry in that University, or for so long time only as he shall reside there, and duly perform all exercises which the statutes of that College and University require of Scholars, Ba- chelors, and Masters of Arts. *' As soon as the term of eight years shall be fuUy completed by the said superannuated scholar in St. John Baptist's College, in Oxon, and the term of seven years shall be completed by the other superannuated scholar in Cambridge, the payment of the interest of each of the said sums of 1,250/. shall be discontinued to them re- spectively. ** And, as often as it shall happen that there shall be no scholar in Merchant Taylors School actually superan- nuated in the manner above required, from the expiration of the term allowed as above to each of the said scholars for their enjojinent of the said interest to the time that a scholar in the said school shall be superannuated as above, whatever interest shall become due, the Master of Merchant Taylors School, with the Heads and Fellows of the two Colleges above mentioned, shall have hereby power to demand and receive, and shall be obliged to add it to that 1,250/., from whence the said interest shall K k 2 370 CHAUTERKD COMPANIES. arise for the augmentation of the said sum, and for the better support of the said superannuated scholars for the future. ** But, if there shall be in the said school a scholar that shall actually have lost the election by superannua- tion only within a year after the expiration of either of the terms allowed as above to either of the said scholars in Oxford or Cambridge, then and in that case the interest that shall become due for that year shall not be reserved as above mentioned, but it shall be given to, and be en- joyed by, the boy that shall be superannuated within that year. " And to the end, that this my design may not be de- feated by the carelessness, extravagance, or misfortune, of any of my heirs, my will and meaning is, that none of them shall have the said two moieties, making together 2,500Z., in their power either to spend, or waste, or lose; but that, immediately after the death of my dear wife, whoever shall siurvive or succeed as my heirs, whether it be my nephew or niece above mentioned, or either of their children or grandchildren, in order to qualify them- selves to be my heirs, and to gain a title to the whole or any part of the interest or profit annually made of the said 2,500Z., shall be obliged to give the Master of the said school, and the Heads of the two Colleges above mentioned, such security for the principal sum as counsel learned in the law shall judge sufficient. And, as often as a new heir or heirs, descended in a right line from my nephew or niece above mentioned, shall succeed and be entitled to the whole, or to a moiety of the said 2,500Z., they shall be obliged to give new security to the persons and for the purpose above said. ** But, if any of my heirs appointed shall think fit to MERCHANT TAYLORS COMPANY. 377 refuse to g^ve the security hereby required, then and in that case the Master of Merchant Taylors School, Lon- don, and the Heads and Fellows of St. John Baptist's Col- lege, Oxon., and Pembroke Hall, in Cambridge, shall have full power, as I hereby give them, to seize upon the prin- cipal as in their oavii right, upon condition that they pay to my heir or heirs so refusing, half only of the lawful interest of the sum to him, her, or them, to whom the whole would otherwise belong, reserving the other half for the necessary expenses which such a refusal may oc- casion, and for supplying the superannuated scholars with books. " As soon as the heirs in a direct line from my said nephew and niece shall cease, I appoint the Head IVIaster of Merchant Taylors School, London, the President and Fel- lows of St. John Baptist's College, Oxon., and the JMaster and Fellows of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, all for the time being, my executors in trust for this my donation, and to see that this my benefaction take place from that time. And whatever expenses the said executors in trust shall be at in securing the said sums for the purposes aforesaid, they shall be defrayed out of the interest arising from the whole, that so one scholar may not have more in any year than the other, and that the principal may not be dimi- nished, " All the rest and residue of my goods and chattels, of what kind soever here imdisposed of, I give to my dear wife, Mary Stuart, whom I, by these presents, constitute and appoint sole executrix of this my last will and testa- ment. " In testimony that I design this for my last will and testament, consisting of twelve pages in folio, all writ with my o^vn hand, I have hereunto set my name and Kk 3 378 CHARTERED COMPANIES. seal this lOtli day of November, in the year of our Lord 1733." In consequence of failure of heirs in a direct line, this property was transferred as directed by the testator. Extracted from the Registry of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. ** In the name of God, Amen ! I, Charles Parkin, clerk, Rector of Oxburgh, in the county of Norfolk, being of sound and perfect mind and memory, do make and or- dain this my last will and testament, in manner and form as foUows : — First, I recommend my soul with all humi- lity to Almighty God, hoping to obtain remission of all my sins and life eternal, in and through the merits alone of my blessed Saviour Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of all mankind, and my body to be buried in the chancel of Oxburgh, in a decent manner. As to my estates and worldly goods which God of his abundant goodness has bestowed upon me, I give and bequeath to my loving sister, Sarah Parkin, my house and freehold lands in Barton Bendish, in Norfolk, for life, and after to the ]Master, Fellows, and Scholars, of Pembroke Hall, in Cambridge j and also I give to her my copyhold land in West Dereham, held of the manor of Batchcroft, in the said toAvn, for her life only, and on condition that she settles it after my death on the aforesaid Hall, and gives such a security in a month's time, after my decease, to do so, as the said Society shall see proper. Otherwise I, give it to the said IMaster, Fellows, and Scholars, above mentioned at my death. And whereas I have several sums of money on certain mortgages, viz., 4401. on the lands of JMr. Howard, of West Dereham j 600/. on the lands, &c. of IMr. John Briston, of Godeston; 70/. on MERCHANT TAYLORS COMPANY. 379 the lands of JMr. Abraham Wright, now Mr. H.

Belson, of Woodrising ; 20/. to Mr. Stephen Howes, of Foulden; a note of Mr. B. Crowe, of Swaffham, for 50/. ; one of Mr. Peter Blomfield, of Swaffham, for 40/. ; out of the annual interest money arising from these mortgages, bonds, and notes, I give and bequeath the sum of 60/. per annum to my sister, Sarah, to be paid her by two equal payments, 30/. on Midsummer-day, and on Christmas-day 30/., or in the space of two months after each of those days, on this condition, that she continues in her single state and does not marry ; but if she marries or acts in any respect so as to endeavour to oppose and set aside this my will, or make any fur- ther claim or demand whatever on my estate, goods, or chattels, all that I have here in this my will given and granted to her, I do declare and ordain to be entirely and absolutely void. Also, out of the annual interest money arising from the said mortgages, bonds, &c., I give and bequeath to my sister, Grace Sharpe, the sum of 16/. per annum, to be paid on the said days by equal portions or in the space of two months after, as is appointed for the payment of my sister Sarah's annual sum, and on the like 380 CHARTERED COMPANIES. pains and penalty, if she or any one person, claiming un- der her endeavours, any ways to oppose and set aside this my will, or make any further claim or demand on my estate, goods, or chattels, then all that I have in this ray will granted her I do declare and ordain to be entirely and absolutely void. And, on the death of the said Sarah and Grace, my will is, that the mortgages, bonds, &c., afore- said, be vested in the Master, Fellows, and Scholars, of Pembroke Hally in Cambridge. And, I do hereby give and grant to the INIaster, Fellows, and Scholars, afore- said, together with what shall remain yearly out of the annual interest of the said mortgages, bonds, and notes, after the payments of 60/. per annum to my sister Sarah, and of 16/. per annum to my sister Grace Sharpe, as above mentioned. And, on the death of either Sarah or Grace, the legacy that was paid yearly to them shall cease, and be vested immediately as either of them dies, in the Master, Fellows, &c., in trust as after mentioned. All the above-mentioned mortgages, bonds, and notes, I give to the INIaster, Fellows, and Scholars, of Pembroke Hall, on this trust and condition, for the founding oijive or six scholarships or exhibitions in the said HaU, to be appropriated to, and conferred on, five or six scholars educated in Merchant Taylors School, London, regard being always had to their seniority and station therein, and particularly to those who are at the head of the school, and become superannuated, whom I by all means prefer as emeriti milites j and one other scholar I wiU to be of the free school of Bowes, in the county of York, founded by my late uncle, William Hutchinson, Esq., of Clement's Inn, and of Aldenham in Hertfordshire, Grace, his eldest sister and coheir, being my grandmother ; and there being other sisters and coheirs, from whom Ch. MERCHANT TAYLORS COMPANY. 381 Whitell, Esq., of Gray's Inn and of Bowes, and Ambrose Edwards, Esq., of Barnard Castle, is descended, if any- one of those families is qualified, I wiU that he be first preferred and admitted at all times to the said exhibition on its vacancy. And my intention is, that those five or six scholarships shall each have an equal portion or divi- dend, and be chosen within the space of two months after any voidance or vacancy by the Master of Pembroke Hall for the time being ; and they shall perform the same ex- ercises, and be subject to the same rules and ordinances as the Greek scholars in the said Hall are ; and that they be resident at least nine months in every year, and may enjoy the same till they are seven years standing in the University, and no longer. But, until the whole property and interest of the said mortgages, bonds, notes, &c., be in the said Master, Fellows, &c., aforesaid, I wiU that no more scholarships or exhibitions be settled than in pro- portion to the interest money that they are hereby entitled to and do actually receive. And this I leave to the judg- ment and discretion of the said Master, Fellows, &c. Whereas a considerable sum of interest money is now due and in arrear on the mortgages of Took Cosen, S. Howard, John Briston, &c., as wiU appear from my account books, my desire is that the same be paid to my sister, Sarah, and Mr. Christopher Adamson, Gent., of WerJiam, as soon as possible ; and with the money arising from the sale of my goods and chattels, which I hereby order to be sold, except certain goods hereafter mentioned, I will to be put out on good security, and the yearly interest of it so put out to be paid to my sister, Sarah, for her life, and on her decease the whole property and interest of it to be vested in the Master, Fellows, and Scholars, of Pembroke Hall aforesaid, in trust, for the uses before mentioned. 382 CHAKTERED COMPANIES. after deducting from the said money my funeral charges and dehts (which are but little) ; also paying to my sister Grace 61., to my sister Sarah 10/., to i\Ir.

And I appoint my said sister Sarah and Mr. Christopher Adam- son my e.xecutors of this my last mil and testament. And I further give and bequeath to my sister Sarah all my plate and rings, with the furniture of two rooms, and whatever other necessaries she shall choose, and what English books she shall desire. And to the IMaster and Fellows of Pembroke Hall whatever books they shall choose and have not in their library, with all my abbey seals, deeds, manuscripts, (excepting that of Norfolk). The remainder of my books to be sold by them, and the money arising from their sale to be given to my said sister Sarah. And all this said wiU and testament I have wrote with my ovm hand.

SALTERS COMPANY. — SKINNERS COMPANY, 383 It appears from an entry in the book of gifts of the Sal- ters Company, that William Robson, in his life time, on 13th May, 1633, deposited in the hands of the Company 5,000/. upon an agreement with them as to 2,500/. thereof, that interest should be paid to himself for life, and after his decease to certain persons of his kindred for their lives, and after their decease, should remain freely and wholly to the use of the said Company ; and as to the other 2,500/. thereof, that the Company should pay inte- rest at five per cent., being 125/. yearly, for ever, among other purposes, to St. John's College, Cambridge, towards the maintenance of two poor scholars there, by 5/. a piece ; also to Jesus College, Oxford, towards the maintenance of two poor scholars there by 5/. a piece. Sir James Lancaster by his will dated 18th April 1618, after various other bequests, gives certain lands and here- ditaments to the Company of Skinners, London, in trust, among other purposes, that they should, out of the rest of the rents, issues, and profits of the said manors, lands, tenements, and premises, for ever, pay unto such four poor scholars who should study divinity in the Universi- ties of Oxford and Cambridge, or such of them as the said Master and Wardens for the time being should think 384 CHARTERED COMPANIES. good, the sum of 60/. ; viz. to the said /our poor scho- lars, 15/. a piece jier annum ; and that as often as any of the said /oMr scholars should he preferred to hetter means of living, or should depart from the University, the said Master, Wardens, and Commonalty, should place and prefer such other scholars studying divinity to the pen- sions aforesaid, as they should think fitting, in their good discretion. By order of the Court of Chancery in July 1713, it was ordered, as to the said four poor scholars, to be nominated by the Skinners Company as aforesaid, two of them were to be sent to Oxford, and the other two to Cambridge ; and to the end that the charity intended for the said four poor scholars might be duly answered, and any abuse thereof prevented for the time to come, it was further ordered, that the Skinners Company should forth- with send to the Vice-chancellor of each University, true copies of the testator's will, and of the deeds of convey- ance, attested by the said Master ; and that as often as any nomination should be made by the said Company of one of the four scholars, upon any vacancy of such scholarship in either of the Universities, the Com- pany was to certify to the Vice-chancellor of such Uni- versity, to which the scholar so nominated was to be sent, the name of such scholar, and of the school where he was educated, and the place of his parents' abode, and of the college to which he should be sent. The practice of the Company is, when vacancies arise, the exhibitioners are appointed by the Court of Assis- tants, who take care to keep two at Oxford, and two at Cambridge, according to the decree. It does not, how- ever, appear that any such certificate is sent to the Vice- chancellor of the respective Universities, as is directed SKINNERS COMPANY. 385 by the will ; but when a vacancy happens, the course is, not to appoint to the benefaction till the person applying brings a certificate of his being entered at one of the Universities, and annexes the same to his petition. When there is a vacancy, it is declared at the first court that takes place after its happening; at the next ensuing court, the petitions of the candidates are read and consi- dered ; and at the third court the appointment is made. This is the general rule : but if a case of merit comes before the court at the third time, it is not objected to for not having gone through the previous stages. Before the annual payment is made, the scholar is required to bring a certificate from his college of his studying divi- nity, and of his general good behaviour. If there is any arrear, it is added to the pajnnent of the person next ap- pointed. Edward Lewis, by will dated 3d March 1673, (of which there is an extract in page 157 of the Will-Book of the Company) gave to the Company of Skinners, whereof he was a member, the sum of lOOl. upon trust, that the Master, Wardens, and Assistants of the said Company should yearly, after his decease, pay, for the better main- tenance of one godly and religious poor scholar in the University of Cambridge, for the time being, one annuity or exhibition of 5^. to be paid half yearly, viz. 505. every half year ; for the true payment whereof, he desired that the said Company should give a bond, under their com- mon seal, to his executrix. No mention occurs in any of the books of the Company of any such sum having been actually received ; but it is presumed that the Company did receive it, as it appears by their books, from the period during which they were l1 38G CHARTERED COMPANIES. kept by the father and immediate predecessor of the pre- sent clerk, viz. from 1759, that the annuity has been regu- larly paid, and no doubt is entertained that it has always been paid from the time it was to have had its commence- ment under the will. If there has been any suspension of the pajTnent from deaths or otherwise, the arrears have been always satisfied and accounted for. fiTorpotat^ *Joir(^0t ^vn^Ue^^^u Fifteen Exhibitions at Brasenose College, Oxford, on the foundation of William Hulme, Esq. — A Divinity Lectu- rer — and an accumulating Fund, for purchasing Advow- sons J such livings, when voidable, restricted to those who have been Exhibitioners .•» this Foundation.

William Hulme, Esq. and William Bagu- ley, Gent, and their heirs for ever, to the intent and pur- pose that the clear annual rents, &c. arising, should be paid and distributed to and amongst such four of the poorest sort of Bachelors of Arts, taking such degree in Brasenose College, in Oxford, as from time to time should l1 2 3SS COKI'OKATli UODlliS, lUUbTEKS, »SlC. resolve to reside there by the space of four years next after such degree taken, equally and proi)ortionably as the same rents, &c. should annually amount unto, and so to continue to such like four poor Bachelors successively for ever, such said Bachelors from time to time to be nomi- nated and approved of l)y the Warden of the Collegiate Church of Manchester, the Rectors of the Parish Churches of Prestwich and Bury, in the county of Lancaster, for the time being, and their successors for ever ;

and by the said Act power was given to the said tiTistees, from time to time, and when and so often as the annual rents and produce of the said trust estate should be sufficient for that purpose, to increase the number of exhibitioners to receive benefit under the trusts of the will of the said William Hulme, so as such additional number of exhibi- bitioners should be within the descriptions and qualifica- tions, and should be nominated according to the mode required by the said will ; and also to make unto each of hulme's exhibitions. 389 the exhibitioners who should be thereafter nominated, such yearly allowance as to them, the said trustees, should seem meet and reasonable ; provided that such allowance should never be less than 60/. nor more than 80/., or in the like proportion for less time than a year, as in and by the said Act is more particularly provided : and whereas by an Act passed in the 35th year of the reign of George the Third, intituled, "An Act for amending an Act passed in the 10th year of the reign of his present Ma- jesty," &c. to enable the trustees to convey in fee, or grant leases for lives, or for long terms of years, with or without covenants for renewal, or for perpetual re- newal, under reserved yearly rents, the said trust estates ;

Geo. Gostling, ^ Nath. Gostling, ^ Deputy Registrars. R. C. Cresswell, ) N n 'J 412 coupoHATJi nonius, trustees, &c By a codicil to the will of Lady Elizabeth Hastings, the daujj^hter of Theophilus Earl of Huntingdon, dated the 24th of April 1739, she bequeathes : — *' First, — I give and devise all my manors, lands, and hereditaments in Wheldale, "otherwise called Queldale, in the West Riding of the county of York, with all the quit-rents or chief-rents, and royalties belonging to the same, to the Provost and Scholars of Queeii^s College, in the University of Oxford, for ever, — subject, nevertheless, to a term of ninety-nine years, determinable upon the lives of one or more annuitants, as the case shall be, and as is more fully explained in a former codicil, for charging an- nuities for lives, pursuant to a power reserved by my will. ** And to the end that the Provost may have true and speedy information of the state of the annuitants, the Bailiff for the time being, who collects the rents of the said premises, shall, at the end of every year, send a list of the names of the annuitants, then alive, to the Provost of the said College, signed by the Bailiff and one or more of the Trustees ; as also upon the death of the last annu- itant, as soon as he receives information of it, immedi- ately send notice thereof to the said Provost, in writing, signed also by himself and one or more of the Trustees. " And I will that, after the expiration of the said term of ninety-nine years, determinable as aforesaid, 140/., out of the clear rents and profits of the same premises, shall from time to time be applied for Exhibitions, towards the maintenance of Jive j)oor scholars of the said College, to be nominated and elected in manner hereinafter di- rected ; each of which poor scholars shall be entitled to LADY ELIZABETH HASTINGS's EXHIBITIONS. 413 a yearly payment of 28?., but shall receive for the four first years (to be computed from the Pentecost preceding the election) only 20/. each year, by quarterly or half- yearly payments; my will being, that the remaining 8/., out of each sum of 28/., be laid up and deposited yearly in the College Chest, and that out of this deposited money, 20Z. shall be paid at the middle of i\iQ fifth year, and 20/. more at the end of the said year, (over and above the first- mentioned yearly payment) to each of the said exhibi- tioners that shall have taken their Bachelor of Arts degree, and shall strictly and religiously conform to the directions, limitations, and conditions hereinafter given, made, or expressed. ** And in regard to the qualifications, nomination, and election of poor scholars, who shall be entitled to such exhibitions, my will is, that eight of the principal Schools in the county of Yorhy viz. those of Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, Beverley, Skipton, Sedbergh, Ripon, and Sher^ burn, and two more in the county of Westmoreland, viz. Appleby and Haversham, and two more in Cumberland, viz. St. Bees and Penrith, shall each of them have the privilege or liberty of sending one poor scholar, every five years, to the place of nomination hereinafter appointed. ** Provided, the Head Master of each School send along with such scholar a certificate, that he hath distin- guished himself above the rest of the same rank in his school for his morals and learning, — that such scholar is well grounded in the principles of the Church of England as by law established, — that he hath competent parts and remarkable industry, and that he hath applied himself to the reading of Greek authors at least four years, " And provided also, that each candidate brings a cer- tificate of his age from the register, signed by the iMinis- N n 3 ■\\4 coRrouATi: noDiKs, tiiustees, &c. ter and Churchwardens of the parish he was born in. It beint? required that every candidate shall be entered upon the nineteenth year of his age, and none be allowed to stand after his one and twentieth is completed. " I will also, that fair copies of this codicil be \\Tit out in parchment, and sent to every one of the said respective schools there, to be safely kept by the Master for the time being, who is desired to read the same, or cause it to be read, to the scholars, candidates for the exhibitions, four times or oftener in the two last years antecedent to the election. *' And I make it my earnest request, that the Rectors of Berwick Spofforth, and Bolton Percy, and the Vicars of Leeds, Ledsham, Thorp-Arch, and Collingham, in the county of York, will, in the year wherein the exhibitions shall commence, (if the year be not too far advanced, for giving notice, as is hereafter directed,) and so likewise at the expiration of every five years, for ever after, meet together at the best inn in Ahberford, or Abberforth, in the same county, viz., on Thursday in Whitsun-week, before eight of the clock in the morning. ** Also all the boys to meet at the said best inn at Abberforth, the night preceding the day of nomination, in order to be ready to begin their exercises the next morn- ing. *^ And I entreat the Rectors and Vicars aforenamed willbe there half an hour after seven, that they may choose the boys' morning exercise, and put them upon beginning the same by eight of the clock. *' And my will is, that their exercise be a part of an Oration in Tully, not exceeding eight or ten lines, to be translated into English ; and part of an Oration in Demos- thenes, about the same number of lines, to be translated LADY ELIZABETH HASTINGS's EXHIBITIONS. 415 into Latin J and two or three verses of the Latin Testa- ment, to be translated into Greek ; and four books of each sort being provided, immediately put them upon be- ginning the translations, four of the boys being employed in one kind of translation, four in a second, and four in a third; and then changing the books, till they have gone through the three several translations. " And whilst the boys are making their morning exer- cise, the said Rectors and Vicars, or the greater number of them, shall proceed to chuse the afternoon exercise, (which shall be upon two subjects), — one, of Practical Divinity, out of the Church Catechism, upon which each boy shall give his thoughts in Latin, in not fewer than ei^^f lines, nor more than twelve; the other subject, some distinguished sentence of a Classic author, upon which each boy shall write two distichs of verses : — all which translations and compositions are to be written out fair upon one sheet of paper, and signed by the name of each boy they belong to, and then shewed to every nomi- nating Rector and Vicar, who are desired impartially to weigh and consider, and return ten of the best of the said exercises (each of which ten to be signed by the greater number of the Rectors and Vicars present) to the Provost and Fellows of Queen's College, in the University of Ox- ford. ** And when the said Provost and Fellows have re- ceived the same, they are hereby required to meet toge- ther, as soon after as conveniently may be, to examine into them carefully and impartially, and choose out of them eight of the best performances, which appear the best, which done, the names subscribed to those eight shall be fairly written, each in a distinct paper, and the papers rolled up, and put into an urn or vase by the 416 CORPORATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. Provost, or, in his absence, by the Vice-Provost, or Senior Ff'lloAv, and, after having been shaken well toge- ther in the urn, shall be drawn out of the same by some person whom he or they shall appoint ; and those fivct whose names are first drawn, shall, to all intents and purposes, be held duly elected, and intitled to the whole l)rofits each of his exhibition, for the space of fire years, as before provided, from Pentecost then next preceding the election. " And though this method of choosing by loty may be called by some superstition or enthusiasm, yet as the advice was given by an orthodox and pious Prelate of the Church of England, as leaving something to Providence, and as it will be a means to save the scholars the trouble and expense of a journey to Oxford, under too great an uncertainty of being elected, I will this method of ballot- ting be for ever observed. ** Provided also, and my will is, that no more sons than one of the same person shall be nominated or elected to or for any of the said exhibitions. ** And, as my intention in continuing the exhibitions to each person for five years, is to take away from them all necessity of entering precipitately into Holy Orders, and to give them an opportunity of laying in some sort a sound foundation of divine as well as human learning, so my desire is, that the four first years they apply them- selves as they shall be directed in their College and Uni- versity, chiefly to the arts and sciences; but that the fifth year be employed wholly in divinity. Church history, and the Apostolical Fathers in the original tongues. *' And it is farther required, that, from their first ad- mission into the College, they be obliged to spend one hour every morning in the study of the Holy Scriptures, LADY ELIZABETH HASTINGS's EXHIBITIONS. 4l7 and to write their own explications of such particular places and passages of Holy Scripture as their tutors shall think proper to appoint them, and which their tutors are required to call for at proper times ; and that, in a convenient time, before the expiration of their fourth year, each of them shall be obliged to translate into English, such a portion of St. Chrysostom's book, " De Sacerdotio," (published by Mr. Hughes, or any other better edition, if such shall hereafter be published,) as the Provost or their Tutors shall appoint, or, if it be thought feasible, to make an abstract of the whole ; and I beg of the Provost to recommend this, in a particular manner, to their tutors. *' It is also enjoined, that as soon as any of them shall have taken the degree of Bachelor of Arts, they shall forthwith apply themselves to the Provost or their Tu- tors, for their particular directions in their Theological studies, to qualify them for Holy Orders, and be obliged to make proper abstracts, or observ^ations in writing, from the several authors they are appointed to read, which, at the end of each term, or at least every half year, shall be carried by them to the Provost, that he may be a witness of their proficiency, or punish them for their neglect ; and I most earnestly beg the Provost to insist upon their so doing. " Also, my will and meaning is, that none of the said exhibitions shaU be continued to one and the same per- son above the space of five years, from the time of his admission. " And, that if any such scholar or exhibitioner shall, before the said five years are completed, either man*y, or accept of any ecclesiastical Benefice, Curacy, or School, 418 CORPOKATE UODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. or enter into Holy Orders, from thenceforth his place shall become vacant. *' Provided also, and my will and desire further is, that in case any of the said Rectories or Vicarages shall happen to be vacant at the time of such meeting of the nominating Rectors and Vicars, or any of the said Rec- tors or Vicars shall be absent from such meeting, such of the said Rectors and Vicars as are present at such meet- ing; in case they are five in number, shall proceed to examine, nominate, and certify, in such manner as is before directed. ** And in case it shall appear to the Vicar of Ledsham, (who is desired to have previous information for a month before, what persons will be present, and to move every one concerned by letter, or otherwise, for his personal attendance,) that only four of the Rectors and Vicars can be at the meeting, he is hereby further desired to request the Rector of Methley, or the Vicar of Pontefract, to make up the fifth ; and if only two can be present, to desire the Vicar of Abherford, and both the said Rector of Methley and Vicar of Pontefract, to appear and act. " And in case the said Rectors and Vicars shall neglect to nominate as aforesaid, or shall be equally divided in their choice, the Provost and Fellows of the said College are hereby empowered to appoint, in the last case, one person as an umpire : and, in the first case, five proper persons, residing as near as may be to the place of meeting, to fill up the vacancies within three calendar months after the time hereby appointed for the nomination ; provided they observe the qualifications, rules, and restrictions herein-before prescribed. '* Provided also, and my will further is, that every LADY ELIZABETH HASTI.NGS's EXHIBITIONS. 419 such exhibitioner shall regularly observe, and strictly conform himself to, the rules and orders of the said Col- lege, upon pain of forfeiting the benefit of such exhibition for such time as the said Provost shall think fit. " And that it shall be lawful to and for the Provost and greater part of the resident Fellows, for the time being, of the said College, in case of notorious obstinacy, immorality, or neglect of duty, after three admonitions in a public convention, called by the said ProA'Ost, to deprive such scholar of his exhibition. ** Provided also, that every fifth year notice be sent, that the term of five years is near expiring, by the Pro- vost and Fellows of the said College, or their agent, to the said Vicar of Ledsham, for the time being, three months at least before the Thursday in Whitsun-week, who is re- quired immediately to give notice of meeting on the said Thursday, to the Rectors and other Vicars, and to the Schoolmasters of all the Schools, for the time being, who have any right to send boys. *' Provided also, lOl. be allovv^ed and paid every five years, out of the premises, by the Provost and Fellows of Queen's College, for ever, to the Vicar of Ledsham, and his successors, 1/. thereof being to the said Vicar for his trouble in giving notice, and the other 9^. towards the defraying of the expenses of the meeting of the said Rec- tors and Vicars, and poor Scholars, at the time and place before-mentioned, and towards defraying the travelling expenses of the poor Scholars, each Scholar from every School in Yorkshire that, for the time being, has the privilege of sending, being allowed 5*., and each Scholar from all the Schools in Westmoreland and Cumberland that, for the time being, hath the same privilege, being allowed 10s. 420 CORPORATE nODIES, TRUSTEES, ScC. ** Provided also, if any one or more of these twelve Schools herein mentioned, shall so far come to decay as to have no scholar or scholars returned by the Rectors and Vicars, to take their lot by ballotting, as before ap- pointed, in four successive elections, I desire the Provost and Fellows of the said College, to place, constitute, and appoint one or more other School or Schools, in the county where the School is, which has come to decay, in the room and stead of any one or more of these twelve Schools herein mentioned. ** And I will, that the new appointed School or Schools shall have all the benefit and advantages, and be subject to the same rules, restrictions, and conditions as the other Schools. " And to the end it may be known whether any School has so far come to decay, the Provost and Fellows of the said College are hereby required to enter into a book, set apart for this purpose, the names of all the boys returned, as well as elected, together with the names of each School they are returned from, in a column over against the name of every boy respectively. " And to the intent that all doubts may be removed, and all disputes avoided at the time of nomination, with regard to the directions and appointments herein made and given, as also that proper books, at the time and place of examination, may not be wanting, I do hereby direct, order, and appoint, that a fair copy of this codicil, as also a fair and perfect Greek Testament, an Exposition of the Church Catechism by the late Archbishop Wake, the Orations of Tully and Demosthenes, Homer's Iliad, and Virgil's Works, together with three Dictionaries, three Lexicons, three Latin Grammars, and three Greek Grammars, be always and constantly provided by the LADY ELIZABETH HASTINGS's EXHIBITIONS, 421 Vicar of Ledsham, for the time being, as often as there shall be occasion, and deposited in the hands of the Vicar of Ahberforth, for all which books, as well as codicils, the said Vicar is to be allowed and reimbursed by the Pro- vost and Fellows of the said College, " And I do hereby earnestly request the said Vicar of Ahberforth, and his successors, from time to time, to take the care and charge of the said codicil or codicils and books, during the intervals between the meetings, and at the time of the meetings to deliver them to any one of the said Rectors or Vicars, for the use and benefit of the said Rectors and Vicars examiners. *' And as to the overplus of the rents and profits issuing out of the premises, after all deductions are made, and after all the exhibitions are answered ; and as to all sum or sums of money that may arise by death, marriage, or misbehaviour of any of the said exhibitioners, or by getting of Coals, (which are supposed to be in the estate) or by any other contingencies, — for the further encou- ragement of residence, my will and mind is, that as soon as the said overplus, and the said money arising by death, marriage, misbehaviour, coals, or other contingencies, shall amount to 60Z, the Provost shall pay it to any one of the exhibitioners, whom he thinks in all respects most deserving of it ; provided he has already taken his degree of Bachelor of Arts, is not married, and has enjoyed his exhibition five years, to be computed from the time of election, and consents to stay another whole year in the College, without accepting any School or other prefer- ment whatsoever, that may be a means to hinder him from pursuing his studies in divinity. *' And in case the said overplus and money arising by the said contingencies, shall amount to more than o •I22 CORPORATE HODir.S, TUITSTKKR, ScC. Go/., the said Provost shall dispose of it to two or more of the said exhibitioners, that have taken their Bachelor of Arts degree, and enjoyed their exhibitions five years, under the limitations and conditions before mentioned, with regard to residence, marriage, and preferment. " And in case there are not a sufficient number of ex- hibitioners so quailified, to take the said overi)lus, or that are willing to take it upon the last-mentioned limita- tions and conditions, that such part of it as remains un- disposed of, be kept in the College Chest, till there are exhibitioners one or more that have taken their Bache- lor's degree, and have enjoyed their exhibitions five years, and that will accept of it under the said limitations and conditions, no such person having in the year more than 60^. and no one being entitled to it, or any part of it, after seven years from his election are completed. *' And in case the rents of the estate should so increase as to produce yearly 251., be it more or less, over and above what is sufficient ior Jive exhibitions, at 281. by the year each, for Jive years, in the manner before directed, and over and above what is sufficient to answer the other expenses of meeting and buying books, as is before pro- vided, my will is, that the said increase of rents, after all deductions made, shall be divided into as many shares as there are exhibitions, and two-thirds of each share added to and paid with each exhibition, by quarterly or half- yearly payments, and the remaining third part of each share put into the College Chest, yearly to be paid along with each sum of money saved and reserved for the fifth year to each exhibitioner, by two half-yearly payments, as before directed, — for experience shews, as the value of land increases, the value of money decreases." CARESWELL's EXIIIUITIONS. 423 €cive^\x^tlV^ %Bi;f)iUtiom. Edward Careswell, of Bohbington, Stafford^ by will dated 1689, recites, that by indenture dated the 9th of January in the same year, he had demised to certain Trustees therein named, all that messuage and farm or tenement, called Walker's Low Farm, situate in the parish of Stottesden, in the county of Salop j and also all that messuage or farm called Sydnal Farm, in the parish of Prior's Ditton, in the said last-mentioned county ; and also all that messuage or farm, called The Hill House, in the parishes of Quafford and Quatt, and in Bridgnorth in the said county; and also all that messuage or farm called Barrett's Farm, in the parish oi Alveley in the said county; and also that yearly rent of 2s. issuing out of certain lands and tenements of Sir William Whitmore, Baronet, in the said parish of Alveley j and also all that messuage or te- nement, loft and meese place, with the appurtenances, called Astley Parva, in the said parish of Alveley j and also all that capital messuage or mansion-house called Bobhington Farm, in the parish of Bobbington, in the county of Stafford, and all tenths and tithes of hay issuing out of the said premises ; and also all that cottage, house, or tenement, with Hawkes's Fields aild Perry Croft, thereto belonging, in the said parish of Bobbington, with all other his messuages, cottages, farms, houses, lands, tenements, and hereditaments, in the said counties of Salop and Stafford, or either of them ; to hold to the o o 2 424 COIIPORATE UODIKS, TUUSTEIiS, &C. Baid Trustees, from the death of the said Edward Cares- well, for the tenn of 500 years from thence next ensuing, in trust, to permit certain persons therein named to take and enjoy the rents and profits during their respective lives, and after the determination of those estates, in trust, that the residue of the said term should attend the inheritance of the premises: and the said testator desiring and intending to dispose of the residue of the said term of 500 years, or the reversion thereof, after the 500 years, for a public benefit, and taking notice that the scholars of the several free schools of the said county of Salop were destitute of any place of preferment in either of the Uni- versities, whereby learning in the said free-schools was much discouraged ; for the supply, therefore, of that de- fect, and for the support and encouragement of such scholars of the free schools thereinafter mentioned, as were not sufficiently enabled to maintain themselves at the University, did by his said will devise and appoint that the said premises, after the death of the persons be- fore mentioned and determination of the estates limited to them during the residue of the term of 500 years, and the reversion expectant on the expiration of the said term, should be at all times for ever thereafter charged and chargeable with the maintenance of eighteen scholars in the College of Christ Church, in Oxford, (or in case the said scholars could not be incorporated with, and made part of the foundation, or admitted into the society of the said College, and have chambers there, then, in some other College or Hall of the said University, where the said scholars might best and most conveniently be ac- commodated,) by allowing to each scholar yearly for four years, while he continues an undergraduate, 18/.; to each, careswell's exhibitions. 425 after he should commence bachelor of arts, 21/. yearly for three years, mitil he should commence master of arts ; and 271' yearly to each for three years, after he should com- mence master of arts, and no longer; and he directed that the said eighteen scholars should be chosen from, and out of the most ingenious and deserving scholars, either na- tives of the several parishes where the estate lay, or else- where, of the county of Sahp, and of the least ability to maintain themselves, of the six free schools of the said county after mentioned, whether the said scholars should be free or not free of the said schools ; viz. four out of the free school of Shrewsbury ; three out of the free school of Bridgnorth J four out of the free school of Newport ; three out of the free school of Shiffnal j two out of the free school of Wem; and two out of the free school of Donnington, in the parish of Wroxeter, in the said county; and he directed, that as any vacancy should happen by the death or removal of any of the said scholars ; such vacancy should be supplied by a nev/ election from the said school from whence the person so dying or removing was elected, and not from any other of the said schools ; that a catalogue of the names of the scholars from time to time elected, should be carefully kept, as well in the College as in the schools from whence they should be elected, for the preventing any elections contrary to the intentions of his will ; that the elections should be made by the Chief Governor or Master of the College where the said scholars were to be resident, or some one de- puted by him ; and the justices of the peace inhabiting or acting within the hundreds of Bradford, Stoddesden, and Brinstree, for the time being, or any three of them, the Master of the College or his delegate being one ; and o o '3 426 COIIMOUATK noDIl'.S, TliVSTEES, &C. he further directed, that if the rents of the premises should be improved, the increase of rent should be apphed to- wards the maintenance of a greater number of scholars at the University of Oxford aforesaid, to be chosen pro- portionably from the said six free schools, in such man- ner, with such allowance, and for such time as therein above was limited and appointed ; and in case the rents should fall short of what they were then set at, that then the election of one, two, or more of the number of scho- lars designed to be elected out of the two last-mentioned free schools, should cease till the premises should again come to be of sufficient yeai:ly value to maintain the said eighteen scholars. By a codicil to his will, dated the 24th February 1689, the testator devised the sum of 10/. per annum to be paid yearly into the hands of one or two of the most substan- tial freeholders in the parish of Bohbington, or to the mi- nister himself, officiating in the parish church of Bohbing- ton for the time being, by the tenant or tenants of the tes- tator's farm in the said parish of Bobbington, as an aug- mentation to the annual stipend of the said minister for ever ; which said 10?. he thereby ordered and appointed should be annually deducted out of the several allowances appointed for the said eighteen scholars when the same should become payable, by an abatement of 11 5. l^d. out of each of the said scholars' allowance. By a decretal order of the Court of Chancery, made on the 6th of July 1741, in a cause then depending in that Court between his Majesty's Attorney-General, at the re- lation of Leonard Hodgkiss and others, infonnant, and William Hayward and others, defendants ; it was ordered and decreed, that this charity should be established and careswell's exhibitions. 427 carried into execution ; and that the relators should be at liberty to lay before the Master a scheme for establishing and carrying the same into execution, for the benefit of the scholars mentioned in the wiU. And it was further ordered, that the said IMaster should appoint a receiver to receive the arrears and growing rents, and profits of the estates, and allow him a salary for his care and pains therein, who was to be at liberty to set and let the said estates, or any part thereof, with the approbation of the said Master, from time to time as occasion should require ; the said receiver having first given security to be an- swerable for what he should receive, and to account annually for, and pay the same as the said Court should direct. Since which period the affairs of the charity have con- tinued imder the superintendence of the Court ; the ap- plication of the rents and profits being from time to time regulated by new schemes. In the year 1813, a considerable surplus of the rents and profits having accrued, the sum of 1,500Z. was applied to the purchase of the rectorial tithes of the Walkerslow and Walkham wood farms j and in 1815, the further sum of 1,515Z. 7*- was laid out in the purchase of 26 a. and 38 p. of land, with a new built brick and tiled barn, in the parish of Quatford, contiguous to the lands of the Hill House Farm. This farm had previously gained an addition of 36 a. 1 r. 14 p. under the Morfe inclosure act ; and on the Prior's Ditton inclosure in 1813, an allotment of 10 a. 1r. 2 p. was awarded to the Sydnall Farm. In consequence of these new acquisitions, the real es- tate of the charity at present consists of the following particulars, viz. : — 428 COUl'OKATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. Walker's Low Farm , Walkham Wood (with the newly-purchased tithes).

The elections are made by the Dean of Christ Churchy (the College to which the exhibitioners have hitherto been sent,) or his deputy, in conjunction with justices of the jDcace acting within the hundreds specified by the testator, and they take place on some day or days in the month of August, prefixed by the Dean, in pursuance of a decree of the Court, made in 1746. The vacancies are fiUed up, according to the directions of the testator, from the respective schools in which they occur, if such schools are able to supply them, if not, they are filled up from any other of the said schools, by virtue of a decree founded upon the Master's report of the 11th JMarch, 1780. The number of exhibitioners which the several schools were able to supply, had not, upon an average of seven- teen years, ending in 1811, exceeded nine in each year; but since that time, in consequence of the increased allow- ance to Under-graduates, the average has been thirteen ; of these one only, at the period of our inquiry in Septem- ber, 1819, was from the school of Bridijnorth .

This annuity is received from the Company of Propri- etors of the East-London Water-works, out of certain pre- mises at Stepney, comprising a messuage and the ground containing the reservoir, foraierly belonging to the West- Ham Water-works, and now vested, by Act of Parliament, in the East-London Water-works Company, subject to the above charge.

John Doddridge, Esq. by his will bearing date 20th January 1658, gave a rent-charge of 50/. a year, for ever, clear of all charges, to be issuing out of his Rectory of Fremington, unto John Martin the elder, Richard Cros- sing, and John Lovering the elder, and their heirs, ear- nestly desiring them, and the survivors, and sur\-ivor of them, to cause it to be settled by good advice of counsel, for the use of a lecturer within the Parish of Fremiyigton, for ever. He also gave to the trustees, for the maintenance of select scholars at the University, according to the mode dra\vn up by IMr. Poole, and other godly ministers, the yearly sum of lOZ. to be for ever issuing out of his said Rectory of Fremington. No settlement appears to have been made by Mr. Dod- dridge's trustees, for the support of the above-mentioned lecture. John Lovering is stated to have been the sur- vivor of those trustees, from whom George Acland Bar- bor, Esq., the present lay-impropriator of the Rectory of Fremington is descended. A lecture used to be read in the Parish Church of Fre- mington, every Thursday, in respect of this donation. DEVON.] Doddridge's exhibition. 43/ till near the end of the last century ; the Rev. Charles Hill, a former Vicar of this Parish, who appears to have died before the year 1790, used to officiate as lecturer; that the Rev. Arthur Barbor aftenvards held the situa- tion, and that upon that gentleman's going to India, the Rev. Samuel Cook, the then Vicar, performed the duties of the office, receiving from him a portion of the stipend. In 1798, an application was made to the Court of King's Bench, by the Rev. John Rowe, for a mandamus to the Bishop of Exeter, to grant a license to him, as having been appointed the lecturer under this gift, in 1797, by William Barbor, Esq., the then impropriate Rector of Fremington, the license having been refused by the Bishop, on the ground that the Vicar, (who appears to have been the Rev. Samuel Cook, before mentioned,) had objected to the applicant's using the Church for the purpose of the lecture. This application was renewed by Mr. Rowe, in 1802 ; INIr. William Barbor having died in 1800, and having been succeeded in the Rectory by his brother, George Barbor, Esq. The proceedings in the King's Bench, upon this second application, are detailed in the second volume of East's Reports, page 462. The Court re- fused to grant the mandamus, upon the ground, that as there was no immemorial custom in the Parish, to ap- point the lecturer to the use of the Church, without the consent of the Vicar, but on the contrary, the commence- ment of the lectureship was shown to be in 1658, during the suspension of the episcopal constitution, and there- fore it could not have been founded at that time, with the joint consent of the Bishop, Rector, and Vicar, the applicant could show no legal right to the lectureship ; and that it would be to no effect to grant a mandamus to p p 3 438 CORPORATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. [dEVON. the Bishop to license such lecturer, when he had not ob- tained the Vicar's consent to his using the Church. Subsequently to these proceedings, about the year 1803, the Rev. John Dene was appointed by the before- mentioned George Barbor, Esq. father of the present (ieorge Acland Barbor, Esq., to the lectureship, but upon condition that he should never read the lecture ; and Mr. Dene has, since that time, received the stipend of 50/. per annum, from the late and present impropriator, without the performance of the duties of the office, as expressly desired by the founder. It is to be regretted, that his intentions for the benefit of the parish, are thus frustrated. The before-mentioned annuity of 10^. given by IVIr. Doddridge's will, appears to have been intended for the maintenance at the University, of scholars of a particular description. The Rev. John Dene, who now enjoys the stipend of the lecture, received this exhibition of 10^. per annum when at the University. The Rev. Edward Thompson May previously received the same, for one year, from the late William Barbor, Esq. DEVON.] BA.MPFIELD's EXHIBITION. 439 William Bampfield, of Arlington, in tlie county of De- von, clerk, by his will bearing date 14tli August 1719, gave to his nephews, William Bampfield and Edward Bampfield, their heirs and assigns, all his messuages, lands, &c., in the parish of Goodleigh, in the county of Devon, upon trust, immediately after his decease, from time to time, and at all times, for ever, to employ and expend the clear rents and profits thereof in maintaining and educating a boy of his relation, called Bampfield, at school, until such boy should be fit to be removed to one of the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge, so that such boy should not be kept at school beyond the age of nine- teen years ; and when such boy, at or before such age, should be fit for one of the said Universities, then to send him thither, and to admit him in one of the Colleges or Halls thereof, and there to maintain and keep him, out of the said rents and profits, for the space of seven years, from the time of such admittance, and no longer ; and in regard that the education and maintenance of a boy at school might not in each year exhaust the whole rents and profits of the said premises, his will was, that the sur- plusage thereof, beyond what should be expended in the maintenance of such boy at school, should be employed towards the increase of his maintenance at the Univer- sity; and he directed, that after such boy should have been maintained and educated at school, and at the Uni- versity as aforesaid, for seven years, or should die, which of the two should first happen, his said two nephews, their heirs and assigns, should maintain and educate ano- ther boy, of his blood and name of Bampfield, in like 440 CORPOUATli BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C.

The above-mentioned Edward Bampfield having died in the life-time of tlie said William Bampfield the testa- tor, he, by a codicil to his will bearing date 5th January 1720, directed that the SOOl. ordered to be laid out in purchasing the perpetual donation of a benefice, as above mentioned, should, until a proper purchase could be had, be put out at interest on good security, by his nephew and executor, William Bampfield ; and that the produce and advantage that should be made thereof should, together with the said 300/., be laid out in the purchase of such peqjetual donation, when a proper pur- chase could be found ; and he also directed that 20s. per annum, instead of 10s., should be deducted out of the profits of the estates, and expended at the yearly meeting of the Trustees, if they should think fit ; and he gave to his said nephew, William Bampfield, all the sums of mo- ney, lands, &c., which he had before given to his nephew, Edward Bampfield, deceased ; and he gave to Elizabeth Bampfield, the widow of his nephew Edward, 50/., to be paid within six months after his decease ; and directed that after her death, the said sum should be paid by her executor or administrator to his executor or his heirs, and be added to the benefaction, for the education of a boy, as mentioned in his will, provided that the said Elizabeth Bampfield should die worth so much money ; and he di- rected that the young timber trees then growing on his tenement at Meadenford should be preserved, and not cut dowTi until they should be full grown and proper to be felled ; and he also directed that, if at the time of his de- cease there should be no one of his name and family ca- pable and willing to accept of the benefaction mentioned in his wiU, his cousin Gregory Tamlyn should have the benefit thereof, as soon as he was capable and qualified to DEVON.] BAMPFIELD's EXHIBITION. 443 be sent to a Latin school, except 4/. per annum, which he directed should be distributed among his poor relations, until one of his name and family should be capable and willing to receive it ; and that until the said Gregory Tamlyn should be sent to a Latin school, the rents and profits of his estates in Goodleigh, except as aforesaid, should be preserved for the greater advantage of the said benefaction, and of the said Gregory Tamlyn, when he should be sent there; and he appointed his nephew, William Bampfield, his sole executor. The testator died in 1720, and his nephew and execu- tor, William Bampfield, in pursuance of the directions of the above abstracted wiU and codicil, purchased the ad- vowson of the rectory of Bradford, in the county of De- von, for the benefit of the scholars who might be educated under this trust ; that he continued to act as Trustee of this gift till about the year 1/49, when he became inca- pable of business ; and that Henry Carslake, who is stated in the proceedings in Chancery, hereinafter mentioned, to have married Elizabeth Bampfield, the daughter of the testator's nephew, William, then took upon himself the trust, and continued to act in it till 1757, from which time Henry Carslake, his son, acted as Trustee till 1760, when he died, leaving William Carslake, his brother and heir at law, who succeeded to the trust, and is now living in his ninety-first year. The property given by this donor, for the purposes mentioned in his will, consists of : — 1 . A farm-house and out-buildings, and about fifty-four acres of land, called Bampfield' s Northleigh, and Wester- knapp, in the parish of Goodleigh, in the occupation of John Yeo, under a lease from Mr. William Carslake, for 444 CORPOHATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. [dEVOX. fourteen years, bearing date 1st September 1813, from Lady-day 1814, at the yearly rent of 74/., the tenant co- venanting to keep the premises in rejjair, on being al- lowed rough timber. A memorandum is endorsed upon this lease, signed by the parties thereto, dated 9th March 1815, stating, that previously to the execution of the lease, it had been agreed, that in consideration of the re- duction in the value of the produce of land, the rent should be reduced to 55l. 105. from the Lady-day then next, subject to be again raised, if the prices of the pro- duce of land should increase. In 1813 an auction was held for letting this farm, but no sufficient oifer was made, and Mr. Courtenay (lidley, who acted as solicitor for iMr. William Carslake, after^-ards came to an agree- ment for the above-mentioned lease with Mr. Yeo, who had held a prior lease of the premises for fourteen years, from 1800, at the yearly rent of 371, subject to deduc- tions for repairs and taxes. 2. A small house or building, and 16a. 3r. 2p. of land, called BampfielcVs Meadenford, and Bale's Tenement, in the parish of Barnstaple, in the occupation of William Parkin, (with the exception of a wood called Tarras Wood J under a lease from Mr. William Carslake, granted by private agreement, bearing date 14tli September 1820, for fourteen years from the Lady-day preceding, at the yearly rent of 30/., the tenant covenanting to repair the gates and fences, on being allowed rough timber. In 1791 a lease of these premises was granted for fourteen years, at the yearly rent of 16/. I6s., subject to deduc- tions. In 1805 the rent was increased to 20/., and in 1812 they were let to William Parkin, the present tenant, on a lease for seven years, at 40/. per annum; but in DEVON.] BAMPFIELd's EXHIBITION". 445 1815a memorandum was made on that lease, as in the case of the Goodleigh property, of the rent being reduced from 4:01. to 30/. The Commissioners for inquiring into Charities, ob- ser^-e : — *' We are informed that farther allowances have been made to the tenants out of their rents, beyond the above- mentioned reductions, but we have not been able to as- certain the precise amount of such allowances. " We are not enabled to state, whether the sum of 50/., given by the donor to Elizabeth Bampfield, the widow of his nephew Edward, for her life, was ever repaid by her representatives, to be added to this benefaction. " Mr. William Carslake, who has acted as Trustee of this gift from 1760 to the present time, did not, although summoned for the purpose of being examined respecting his management thereof, appear before us ; but Mr. Courtenay Gidley, his solicitor, attended on his behalf, and stated, that in his opinion, although in point of health Mr, Carslake was able to have appeared in person, his fa- culties were impaired by his great age, and that he was not in a fit state to undergo an examination. *' Mv. Gidley, on behalf of his client, protested against our inquiry into this case, on the following grounds : — 1st. That the trusts of the donor's will were not created for any charitable purpose. 2dly. That if they are trusts for a charitable purpose, they cannot operate as such until all persons of the testator's name and blood are ex- tinct ; and, 3dly. That supposing this gift to be a cha- rity, it is exempted from our investigation, as having special visitors appointed by the founder. " The first object of the donor undoubtedly was the education of boys in succession of his name and blood, Q q 446 CORPORATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. [dEVON. but in case of there being, from time to time, no boy so qualified, capable and fit to receive this benefit, he di- rected the rents and profits of the estates given by him to be applied for the education of such other boy as his Trustees should think fit. We apprehend, therefore, that his donation must be considered a charity for educa- tion, with a preference given to the donor's relations bearing the name of Bampfield ; and it appears to us, that the donor's directions, that yearly accounts should be rendered to the rectors of the parishes mentioned in his will, did not invest those incumbents with such a \'i- sitatorial power as is sufiScient to exclude the case from our investigation. " We are informed, that previously to the time of JMr. William Carslake's taking upon himself this trust, several persons of the donor's name and family were successively educated out of the rents and profits of the estates given by him for that purpose, but we have seen no accounts relating to this gift prior to 1760, nor can we learn that any accounts have ever been delivered to the rectors of the three parishes mentioned in the donor's will, or depo- sited in Arlington church, according to his directions. " About the year 1783, Mr. William Carslake ap- pointed John Bampfield, one of the name and blood of the donor, to be educated under the trust, who was sent to school, and afterwards to the University of Oxford, and continued to receive payments out of the rents and profits of the trust estates till 1802, when he was pre- sented to the before-mentioned rectory of Bradford, of which he is now the incumbent. " In 1801, Henr}' Joseph Carslake, the nephew of Mr. William Carslake, (there being then no person of the do- nor's name and blood capable of enjoying the benefit of DEVON.] BAMPFIELD's EXHIBITION. 447 this gift,) was, with the consent of Mr. William Cars- lake, placed by his father, Bampfield Carslake, at school, to be educated under this trust, and a considerable ex- pense was incurred in such education by his father, un- der the expectation of being reimbursed by Mr. William Carslake, which the latter refused to do ; in consequence of which a bill was filed against him in the Court of Chancery, by the said Bampfield Carslake and his son, Henry Joseph, (then an infant,) and in 1805, after the defendant had put in his answer, the matters in diflference were referred to a barrister, who, in August 1806, awarded that the defendant should pay to the plaintiff, Bampfield Carslake, 180/., as being at least the sum which the arbi- trator found that the former ought to have appropriated out of the trust estate to the education of the said infant plaintiff, from 1801 to the time of the reference, and that the defendant shoiild, during the time which, conformably to the trusts of the before-mentioned will, should be re- quired for perfecting his education, keep the said infant at school, and after^vards send him to the University, and in all respects fulfil the duties of the trust ; and the arbi- trator also directed that the defendant should pay the costs of the suit in Chancery. The sum awarded by the arbitrator was paid by the defendant, the account thereof, including the rents of the trust estate to Lady-day 1806, being settled in January 180/. Farther advances were made by Mr. William Carslake for Henry Joseph Cars- lake's education at school, till about 1810, when the in- tention of sending him to the University was abandoned, and he was apprenticed to a surgeon. " In 1811, John Carslake Duncan Yule, being of the age of nine years, the son of Captain John Yule, whose wife is the sister of the said Henry Joseph Carslake, and Q q 2 448 CORPORATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. [dEVON. niece of the said William Carslake, was appointed by the latter to be educated under this trust, and placed at school. Mr. William Carslake discharged the exi)enses of his first year's education, but refused to pay the school- master's bill for the second year; in consequence of which an action was commenced against him, and in 1813 he Avrote a letter to Captain Yule, stating that he claimed the estates left by the Rev, William Bampfield as his own property. This claim, however, was immediately afterwards abandoned, and i\Jr. William Carslake con- tinued to pay the school expenses of Captain Yule's son till 1821, since which time he has paid some expenses in- curred in the farther prosecution of the education of this young man, and he has also, with the exception of the first three or four years after the commencement of his education under the trust, provided clothing for him. At the time of our investigation, (August 1823,) JMr. John Carslake Duncan Yule had been entered at the Univer- sity of Cambridge, and we were infonned that Mr. Cars- lake had undertaken to provide him with funds sufficient to enable him to reside there in the October following. '* The only accounts that we have seen, relating to the receipts and expenditure on account of this trust, are contained in two books produced to us by Captain Yule, which he states that he received from i\Ir, William Cars- lake some years since, for the purpose of showing what sums had been expended in the education and mainte- nance of the Rev. John Bampfield, and which books were afterwards the subject of an action of trover, brought against Captain Yule by IMr. William Carslake, in which the latter recovered 201. damages. *' From these accounts, which do not appear to have been regularly kept, or to have undergone any examina- DEVON.] BAMPFIELD's EXHIBITION. 449 tion or audit, and of the accuracy of which we can form no opinion, it is to be collected, that the clear rents of the trust estates received by Mr. William Carslake, from 1760 to 1803, amounted to 986/. 10s. Sid., and that the sums expended by him for the benefit of the Rev. John Bampfield, from 1783 to 1802, amounted to 1,075/. 15s. 3d., thus exceeding the receipts, during the first-mentioned period, by 89/. 4j?. 6hd. ; but a considerable part of this expenditure appears to have been incurred after this gen- tleman had been seven years at the University, at which time, under the provisions of the donor's will, his claim to any benefit from the trust fund ceased. *' We have not been furnished with any statement of the sums expended on Mr. Henry Joseph Carslake's edu- cation, but the accounts between him and the Trustee may perhaps be considered as having been settled under the award, to 1806, and farther sums were expended on his account till 1810. ^* It was at least to be expected, that an account might be produced to us of the sums expended for the education and maintenance of Mr. John Carslake Duncan Yule, from 1811 to the present time ; but Mr. Gidley informs us, that, although Mr. Carslake has furnished him with some papers and vouchers showing the apph cation of parts of the rents of the trust estate, these documents are not suflEicient to enable him to make out a regular ac- count. " The donor, by his codicil, directed that the timber on his tenement at Meadenford should not be cut down till it arrived at maturity, but no specific provision was thereby made for the application of the produce of the timber, when in a fit state to be felled. About the year 1805, timber was cut on the trust estates, and sold by Qq3 450 COnPORATK BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. [dEVON. Mr. William Carslake, producing, after the payment of the expenses of the sale, 177/. 35. 4c?. We are informed that this sum was invested in the funds ; that the stock thus purchased was afterwards sold; and that, in 1810, the sum of 1 50l. was applied by Mr. William Carslake, in payment of a premium on the before-mentioned Henry Joseph Carslake's being placed as an apprentice with a surgeon. This application of part of the produce of the timber, does not appear to us to have been in conformity with the intentions of the donor, being for the benefit of a person who had been originally intended to receive the full advantage of education at school, and at the Univer- sity, under this gift, but who had relinquished his claim to the completion of that course of education. No ac- count has been given to us of the application of the residue of the money produced by the sale of timber. " In detaiUng the circumstances relating to the ma- nagement of this trust, we have been unavoidably led to allude to the differences which have occurred between the present Trustee and his relatives. ** We are informed by IMr. Gidley, that Mr. William Carslake is willing to convey the trust premises, the legal estate of which is vested in him as the heir of William Bampfield, the donor's nephew, to some person of the donor's family, upon the above-mentioned trusts. No power was given by the donor to his nephew or his heirs to appoint other Trustees ; and it appears to have been his intention, that the persons who should receive the benefit of education at school and the University, un- der this gift, should successively act as Trustees thereof, but we cannot learn that any of these persons have inter- fered in the management of the trust. We apprehend, that if any appointment of Trustees shall take place, it GLOUc] Wilkes's exhibition. 451 ought in strictness to be made under the directions of the Court of Chancery. " It will be seen, from what has been stated, there has been much irregularity in the manner in which this trust has been conducted, and particularly, that the mode pointed out by the donor, for making annual accounts and depositing them in Arlington Church, in order to prevent a misapplication of his gift, has been wholly dis- regarded. Whether the trust estates may have been at all times let to the best advantage, and whether the sums paid by IVIr. WiUiam Carslake, for the benefit of several persons who have received education under this donation, may or may not have been equal to the whole of the clear rents and profits received by him, are points upon which the deficiency of our information, arising from the causes before assigned, does not enable us to form a correct opinion." 21Oillfee0*0 iB-yfiitiitiom Beloved Wilkes, of the parish of Wick and Abson, by his wiU dated 15th September, 1722, after expressing his desire that his servant, Ann Cope, should enjoy all that part of his dweUing-house, which he had excepted in a lease then lately granted by him, and reserved to his own use, as long as she lived and remained unmarried, gave to his brother, Francis Wilkes, after the decease of the said Ann Cope, the said part of his dweUing-house for his life, and all the rest and residue of his said dwelling-. house, with the out-houses, gardens, orchards, and ap- 452 CORPORATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. [gLOUC. purtenatices, and also those several closes of meadow and j)astiire to the same messuage belonging, viz. the Home Close, the Island, David's Mead, the Sheep Leaze, Mole- berry, and Alloms, to hold to him the said Francis Wilkes, and the heirs of his body, for ever, subject as therein mentioned ; and if his said brother Francis should die, and leave no issue of his body, then he gave the same premises unto Aaron Strange therein mentioned, and to the Ministers oi Pucklechurch and Deynton, in the county of Gloucester, for the time being, for and during the life of the said Aaron Strange, and after his decease to the Ministers of Pucklechurch, Deynton, and Dirhom afore- said, and their successors for ever, upon trust, to employ 155, a year, for a dinner at his dwelling-house for them- selves and the said Ann Cope, and the widows herein- after mentioned, and also the tenant of his said estate, and his wife, once in every year, as his said trustees should think most convenient for their meeting, and taking care that his will should be duly performed ; and he directed, that from and after the death of his brother Francis, and the said Ann Cope, his trustees should elect two poor widows of some Ministers of the Church of England, and place them in that part of his said dwelling- house, which he had appointed for the said Ann Cope to live in, and should pay to such poor widows, out of the rents of the said estate, the clear yearly sum of lOZ. a piece, so long as they should live, and should allow to such widows half a load of coal a piece yearly, and such wood for their firing as might be conveniently cut upon the said estate, without doing any damage or spoil; and that as often as either of the said widows, that should be placed in the said dwelling-house should die, his trustees should elect another widow in her room, and so keep up GLOUC] WILKES's EXHIBITION. 453 the said number of two such widows for ever ; and that in case such widows could not agree to live together in the said dwelling-house, then either of them might live elsewhere, paying her own house-rent, and furnishing herself with wood and coal at her own expense. And the said testator directed that his trustees should, as soon as the yearly overplus and remainder of the rents and profits of his said estate should amount to a sum suffi- cient for that purpose, purchase to them and their succes- sors, the Ministers of Pucklechurch, Deynton, and Dirham aforesaid, lands of the said yearly value of 20/., lying as near his estate before mentioned, as could conveniently be gotten J and that the rents and profits of such lands, when purchased, together with the yearly overplus of the rents of his said land, should be employed by his said trustees in the following manner, viz., that they should pay 10*. a year for ever to the minister of Deynton aforesaid, for the time being, or to some other able man, whom he should appoint, for a Sermon to be preached every year, in the church of Deynton, on Easter-JMonday, and should employ the residue thereof for ever, for the maintenance, educa- tion, schooling, and qualifying for putting to and keeping at Oxford of a lad, in order to make him a minister of the Church of England, which said lad, he directed his said trustees should choose out of the parishes of Wick and Abson, Pucklechurch, Deynton, and Dirham, and of suck parents who were not of ability to give him such mainte- nance and education: and that they should not choose one of their own sons; and that when, and as soon as suck jjerson should have taken the degree of a Bachelor of Arts, or before, if the income thereby apjwinted for the purpose would admit, his said trustees should elect another lad as aforesaid, and maintain, and educate, and keep him at 454 CORPORATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. [gLOUC, Oxford, in the same manner, and so in like manner for ever. And the said testator appointed his brother, Francis Wilkes, to be executor of his said will. Francis Wilkes, the first devisee in the above-men- tioned will, died without issue, and the estate so left by the said testator, became vested in his trustees, agreeably to his disposition thereof, and has ever since been under the control and management of the three JNIinisters of the parishes of Pucklechurch, Deynton, and Dirham aforesaid. In the account-book kept by the trustees of this cha- rity, there is a memorandum to the following effect, viz., *' That on Saturday, 21st September 1745, the Rev. JMr. Henry Gandy, IMinister of Pucklechurch, and the Rev. l\Ir. Thomas Coker, Minister of Deynton, and Aaron Strange, Schoolmaster, the three then trustees of Mr. Wilkes's charity, met together at the late dwelling-house of the said IMr. Wilkes, in the said parish of Wick and Abson, and began to act in the said charity, pursuant to the trusts in them reposed, and had a dinner for them- selves, and for the tenant Thomas Strange, and his wife, and Ann Cope.'' The trustees have not applied any part of the proceeds of this estate to the purchase of other lands, to be an- nexed to the original donation, but the lands so devised by the said will appear to be still in the possession of such trustees; and in the year 1750, a plan of the different closes was made, according to a regular survey and mea- surement thereof, whereby it appears that the quantity then was 30a. 1r. IQp-, independently of the house, the garden, and the upper and lower barton. By a recent survey, made in 1813, which includes the house, and the premises immediately around it, the property is made to GLOUc] Wilkes's exhibition. 455 amount to 31a. 1r. 13p.

The estate so left by Mr. Wilkes, has been always let to one tenant, and usually upon leases for seven years, and the same has always been kept in a state of pasturage, agreeably to the injunctions of the will. The earliest rent was 45Z., which was continued till about the year 1778, when it was raised to 50Z. In 1814 it was again raised to SOZ., at which amount it remained till Lady-day 1816, when it was necessarily reduced to 70Z. per annum, which has been the rent ever since. All the above funds remain in the names of the Rev. George Swayne, as the iMinister of PucJclechurch and Dirham, and the Rev. Peter Gunning, as the Minister of Deynton. Soon after the commencement of this charity, a surplus of the rents and profits, beyond what the objects required, accrued, but that surplus was not laid out in the purchase of land, on account of the expense and difficulty of trans- mitting it to the successive incumbents of the livings, suck surjjlu^ has therefore been accumulating, and from time to time invested in the funds. It appears also to have been 456 CORPORATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &:C. [hANTS. considered by the trustees, that they would not have been warranted to carry info effect, that part of the will which 2)rovides for the maintenance of a young man at College, until a purchase could be made of land, as the will directed. These circumstances have increased the amount of the stock, at the last audit, January 1826, to the sum of5,605l. 2s. 9d. three per cent, consols, leaving a balance of 440/. in the hands of the trustees j since which time, an additional sum of 400/. has been purchased in the same stock, making the total amount of stock, arising from accumulation of sur- plus, 6,005/. 35. 9^. Two widows of clergjinen, properly selected, have always received the 10/. each under Mr. Wilkes's will, but only one widow was ever disposed to live in the house, so as to entitle herself to the benefit of firing and wood ; that part of the charity has, therefore, not been made avail- able. The same two widows have also received the bene- factions coming to them under the wills of the Rev. Peter Grand and Thomas Coker, being generally about 8/. 185. 5c?. each. Hie trustees have applied to the Court of Chancery for directions how to dispose of this large surplus. Peter Symonds by will, bearing date 24th April 1586, gave his manor and lordship, called Ingleby, in the parish of Chadwell, in the county of Essex, and all his lands in West-Ham, in Essex, called Trinity Marsh, with the rents, profits, and commodities thereunto belonging, after HANTS.] Christ's hospital, Winchester. 457 the death of his wife, to Mr. Bilson, Warden of the New College, in Winchester, the testator's brother, William S}Tiionds, and four others, and their heirs as feoffees, in trust, that they should obtain a license from the Queen, for an Hospital to be erected in Winchester, and an Act of Parliament for the confirmation of the same. And he directed, that in his Hospital, which should be called Christ's Hospital, or by any other name which should seem good to his feoffees, there should be maintained continually, for ever, six poor old and unmarried men, and four poor young children ; and he further directed, that besides his Hospital, there should be found out of his said lands, every year for ever, two poor scholars, the one in, Oxford, the other in Cambridge, that should study to preach God's word j all which his lands, being three- score pounds by the year, he hoped would jDcrform. And the testator further directed, for the government and order of the said Hospital, that there should be chosen, and should always be, one worshipful person, called the conservator, and six others of the best and chiefest in the city of Winchester, that should be governors, and so should be called, which seven persons should remain in that government during their lives, if they should deal painfully, carefully, and justly in that charge ; but if by experience these persons should think it convenient to alter the governors once in four or five years, he referred the same to their discretion. And he directed, that the conservator, from time to time, should be Warden of the New College of Winchester, and that of the six governors, two should be of those citizens who should have borne the office of IMayor of that city, and the other four, of the most substantial and honest citizens that should not have borne that office. And he directed, that III. should be R r 458 CORPORATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. [lIANTS. paid out of his lands, yearly, for ever, to the Mayors of the two Universities of Oxford and Cambridye j that is to say, bl. 105. every year to each University, to find in each of the same Universities one poor scholar studying divinity, who sliould be elected by persons from each Collej^e, (for which elections jiarticular directions were given in the will) ; and tliat the odd ten shillings per annum, should be reserved by the Mayor of each Uni- versity, for a dinner at such election. The will extends to great length, and contains various other minor regulations for the management of the Hos- pital by the conservator and governors. Amongst the regulations for the management of this trvist, it was ordered, that the treasurer should pay an- nually, out of the rents of the Hospital, for the mainte- nance of two poor scholars in the two Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, 5l. to each, to be paid quarterly ; that the scholars receiving the exhibition should be stu- dents in divinity, the one residing at Oxford, the other at Cambridge, and should be chosen by the IMayor, Re- corder, Bailiffs, and Commonalt}'', out of such candidates as should be recommended to them by the conservator for the time being ; that the said scholars should be re- spectively entitled to, and be paid the said exhibition for four years, and no longer, from the time of nomination thereto ; and that in case any such scholar should, before the end of such four years, be admitted into Deacon's orders, the said exhibition should be no longer payable to such scholar. The annual payments to two scholars of Oxford and Cambridge, who are elected, and continue to hold their exhibitions in conformity with the statutes of 1793, were, in 1804, raised from 5/. to 10^. each. Joseph Cooke, of Spaxton, in the county of Somerset, Clerk, by his will dated IQth July 1708, gave unto Na- thaniel Palmer, and others therein named, all his lands of inheritance, and all and singular his messuages, and se- veral pieces of land, which he held and enjoyed, either in ■ his own possession, or in the possession of any other person or persons to his use ; to hold to them and their successors, to be chosen according to his said will, for 1,000 years, at a pepper-corn rent, in trust, among other things, that his said trustees should elect two hopeful young scholars, born and inhabiting within the Deanery of Bridgewater, such as were fitted for the University, and to pay to each of them an annuity of 5?. a year, for the term of seven years after their election, provided they constantly resided in the University of Oxford, and dili- gently applied themselves to the study of good learning in some College or HaU in the said University, they bringing every year a certificate from the governors of the said CoUege or Hall of their civility and study ; and he directed the said feoffees, in the election, to make choice of the sons of poor Ministers, in the said Deanery, before others, if they should be equally qualified; and upon the expiration of the said term of seven years, or at the death, non-residence, non-proficiency, or ill behaviour of the said two scholars, or either of them, the trustees were to choose others, qualified as before, to receive the said annuity, and so toties quoties. There are usually two exhibitioners at Oxford, ap- pointed by the trustees, receiving the benefit of this cha- rity. R r 2 460 CORPORATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C.

And his will was, that there should be appointed such of his name as should be heir male of the house of Huish, then of Dymford, in the county of Somerset j and that of Sand, in the parish of Sydbury, in the county of Devon, so as, at the time of such election or appointment, they, and every of the said electors, should be of the fuU age of thirty years, or in default thereof, by twelve of the an- cientest gentlemen governors of the said Hospital, all to be of the like age of thirty years at the least ; and that the governors and poor people of the said Hospital, should be founded and incorporated by the name of " The Gover- nors and Poor People of the Hospital of Richard Huish, Esq. in Taunton/' which said Hospital should have assured or paid to it for ever^ one annuity or annual rent of 103Z. to be issuing out of all his houses, lands, and tenements within Blackfriars, London, to the use of the same Hospital. And he further willed that his devisees, and aU others soM.] huish's exhibitions. 461 coming in under them, should pay yearly, out of the same houses and lands in the Blackfriars aforesaid, for ever, lOOZ. by the year, towards the maintenance oi Jive of his name of Huish, being nearest in blood; and in default of such of his name, and nearest in blood, then of those that were of his name or kindred; and in de- fault of such of his name and kindred, then of those that should be of his kindred, to be scholars at one or both of the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge, viz. to each 20/. by the year, there to be students in the arts, and other learning, and to proceed masters of the arts, to enable them to the study of divinity, which was the only purpose for which he gave that allowance ; and if they or either of them should not profess the same study of divinity, within two years after that they, or either of them, should have so severally proceeded masters of the arts, and con- tinue the same study, then they or he so neglecting that study of divinity, should presently lose that his benevo- lence or gift of 20Z. by the year, and another of his name and kindred, as was before expressed, should enjoy the same, as he did with the said scholars of his name or kindred, to be sent to the said Universities as aforesaid ; and his mind and will was, that they for ever should be such as should be known, or made known, to the most of the governors of the aforesaid Hospital, and nine of the most ancient gentlemen, for the time being, of devi- sees, to be of his name and kindred, as was aforesaid, and always should be chosen and sent to the said Universities, by them, or the most part of them, as was before to them limited and prescribed, provided ; and his will was, that after those of his name and kindred should be so made kno^vn to the said governors and devisees, they should, without further examination, trial, or exception, by them R r 3 462 CORPORATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. [sOM. or any other, be sent to the said Universities, to be scho- lars tliere, so as they before had learned their grammar, for that his care and meaning was specially for the help and preferment of them as he in nature was bound, the said pa)Tnent to be made quarterly, or half-yearly at the least, with power of distress ; and in default of such his name or kindred, then any other as should be thought worthy in their places, of such as had been born in the counties of Somerset and Devon, by the appointment of most part of his said governors, and nine of the most ancient gentle- men of his devisees as aforesaid, and by them also, all or any of the scholars or students aforesaid, to be removed and put from his said allowance, and appointed and set- tled upon others, as before was to them limited and ap- pointed, and as they should severally come to be Batche- lors in Divinity, or Fellows of houses, so as the benefit of the said house should be treble of his said allowance to him so preferred, or be married or promoted to a bene- fice to him, and then his allowance to cease, and to be disposed and settled upon other like scholars, in like man- ner, from time to time for ever, to be sent as aforesaid, and that all controversies thereof, as also of all other parts of that his will should be decided, and his true meaning therein guided and settled in his due course by his said governors, or the most part of them, with the advice of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, for the time being, for ever, if the said governors could not agree, and in their, or either of their default, he hoped and de- sired, that the Court of Chancery, for the time being, would do the same, and so for all the rest of his good in- tentions therein expressed. In regard to the qualifications to entitle persons to the exhibitions, the trustees have exercised their best judg- SURRY.] smith's FELLOWSHIP. 463 ment in carrying the testator's intention into effect. When any person has offered himself as a candidate for an exhi- bition, he has been examined as to his quahfications at the general meetings. If he has claimed as founder's kin, the trustees have considered him as entitled to a preference, but have required him to substantiate his pedigree; and they expect that every other candidate should prove himself to be a native of the proper county by the register of his baptism. They appear, however, to have felt some embarrassment with respect to the question, whether these exhibitioners, who have ceased to reside, and prosecute their studies in divinity at one of the Universities, though they may continue their names on the books of the College, are entitled to receive the annuity under the will, and whether those persons, who, after the expiration of two years, do not continue to study divinity, but enter upon some other profession, do not thereby forfeit the said annuity. The general opi- nion of the trustees, however, is, that when the students have ceased to reside, or prosecute their study in divinity at one of the Universities, they are no longer entitled to the exhibitions, and that they must proceed in divinity only, which appears to be the opinion most agreeable to the spirit of the will. Henry Smith, citizen and Alderman of London, from whose numerous charities the public derive so great a benefit, directed his trustees, in 1620, to lay out 150/. for 464 tORPOUATE BODIES, TRUSTEES, &C. [sURRY. the l)iiying of a fellowship at Cambridge, in some College there, to be enjoyed by such of his kindred as should be capal)le of the place of fellowship, from time to time. It does not appear, however, that the trustees ever fulfilled the directions of Mr. Smith in this particular. John Marshall by will, dated the 21st August 1627, gave and devised to Samuel Browne, counsellor at law, and others, their heirs and assigns, for ever, certain estates, in trust, among other things, to pay under the several rents, distresses, penalties, and trusts after mentioned, all that his moiety and half part of the Yard, commonly called the Axe-Yard, and all his messuages, lands, tene- ments, and hereditaments whatsoever, with the appurte- nances in Lamb Alley, and in Black Spread Eagle Alley, and in the Catherine Blieel Alley, and all other his mes- suages, lands, tenements, and hereditaments, with the appurtenances situate in the parish of Newington, in the county of Surry, and all those three acres of land, lying together in one place, in St. George's Fields, and the half acre in the same fields, with the appurtenances, in the parish of St. George, in the county of Surry, in which three acres and a half, his mother had an estate, for the term of her life ; and all his messuages, lands, tenements, and hereditaments, with the appurtenances, in the parish of Sutton, in the county of Surry j and all his messuages, lands, tenements, and hereditaments, with the appurte- nances, in Grantham, in the county of Lincoln, to the use.
