364 ANNUAL REGISTER, 1794. 
me, and dated the 11th of Auguft, 
1794, in which will I have left, de- 
vifed, and bequeathed all my world- 
ly property, of whatever nature 
and quality the fame may be, whe- 
ther lands tenements, houfes, free- 
hold or leafehold interefts, penfions 
for lives or years, arrears of the 
fame, legacies, or other debts due 
to me, plate, houfehold ftuff, books, 
fiock in cattle and horfes, and uten- 
fils of farming, and all other my 
goods and chattels, to my dear wife, 
J. M. Burke, in as fulland perfe& 
manner as the fame might be devif- 
ed, conveyed, or transferred to her 
by any actor inftrument whatfoever, 
with fuch recommendations as in 
my will aforefaid are made, and 
‘with a with that, in the difcharge 
of my debts, the courfe hitherto 
purfued may be as nearly as poffi- 
ble obferved; fenfible, however, 
that, in payment of debt, no exact 
rule can be preferved. The fame 
is therefore left at her difcretion, 
with the advice of our friends, 
whom fhe will naturally confult. 
The reafon of making  this-will, 
or codicil to my former will, is from 
my having omitted in devifing by 
that will my lands and heredita- 
ments to my wife aforefaid, the full 
-and abfolute property thereof; and 
therein I have omitted the legal 
words of inheritance. Now I think 
thofe words, however neceflary in 
a deed, are not fo ina will; yet, to 
prevent all queftion, I do hereby 
devife all my lands, tenements, and 
hereditaments, as well as all my - 
other property that may be fubjeét 
to a itri& rule of law in deeds, and 
which would pafs, if left undevifed, 
to my heirs. I fay, I do devife the 
fame lands, tenements, and heredi- 
taments, to my wife ‘Jane Marv 
Burke, and her heirs fer ever, in 
pure, abfohite, and unconditional 
fee fimple. 
I have now only to recommend 
to the kindnefs of my Lord Chan- 
cellor, Lord Loughborough, to his 
Grace the Duke of Portland, to the 
Moft Honourable the Marquis of 
Buckingham, to the Right Honour- 
able William Wyndham, and \to 
Dr. Laurence, of the Commons, 
and Member of Parliament,’ that 
they will, after my death, continue 
their protection and favour to the 
emigrant {chool at Perin ; and will 
entreat, with a weight. on which [ 
dare not prefume, the Right Hon- 
ourable William Pitt to continue 
‘the neceflary allowances which he 
has fo generoufly and charitably 
provided for thofe unhappy child: 
ren of meritorious parents; that 
they will fuperintend the fame, 
which I wifh to be under the more 
immediate care and direction of Dr. 
King and Dr. Laurence; and that 
they will be pleafed to exert theit 
influence to place the faid young 
perfons in fome military corps, or 
other fervice, as may beft {uit their 
difpofitions and capacities ; praying 
God to blefs their endeavours. 
Signed and fealed, as a codicil to 
“my will, or a confirmation and 
explanation thereof, agreeably 
to the note which feme days 
ago I put to the end of it, this 
29th of January, 1797.
