210 RAPPORT SUR LA MARTINIÈRE DES FILLES. 
Il ressort des termes du testament que nous avons reproduits avec 
exactitude, quoiqu’ils nous paraissent renfermer quelques erreurs 
de traduction dont nous ferons connaître les principales, que le 
major-général Martin voulait fonder à Lyon une institution pour les 
deux sexes, que l’Académie devait en donner le plan (fo devise traduit 
improprement par le mot insuffisant désigner et que les magistrats 
de la ville devaient en avoir le contrôle et la haute direction; enfin 
qu’un de ses parents mâles résidant à Lyon pouvait être fait adminis- 
trateur de l’exécuteur (Administor of executor) (1) et non pas admi- 
nistrateur et exécuteur testamentaire, comme le dit la traduction. 
sum is to be placed as I said in a stock or fund bearing interest that interest 
is to serve to establish an institution for the public benefit of that town 
and the Academie of Lyon are to devise the best institution that can be 
permanently supported with the interest accruing of the above named sum 
and if not better to follow the one devised in the article twenty fourth as 
at Lucknow the institution to bear the name of Martinière and have an 
inscription made at the house of the institution mentioning the same tittle 
as the one of Calcutta and this institution to be establisheïl at te place St- 
Saturnin being where I had been Christened there at that place to buy or 
built a house for that purpose and to marry two girls every year to each 
two hundred livres tournois beside paying about one hundred livres for the 
marriage and feast each of those who married or if the institution such 
as the Lucknow one educating a certain number of boy and girl then they 
are to have a sermon and a dinner for the shools boys and those who are 
married and they are to drink a toast in memory of (signed by me CI. 
Martin) the institutor and a medail is to be given of the value of fifty livres 
with a premium in cash or in kind to be about two hundred livres to the . 
boy or girl that has been the most virtuous and behaved better during the 
course of the year and also to have a premium of the value of one hundred 
livres for the second that behave better and also a third premium of about 
sixty livres for the third that behaved better I am in-hope that the magis- 
trate of the town will protect the institution and in case the sum above 
allowed of two hundred thousand sika rupees is not sufficient for a proper 
interest to support the institution and buying or building house then I give 
and bequeath an addition sum of fifty thousand sika rupees making two 
hundred and fifty thousand sika rupees one of my male relation residing 
at Lyon may be made administor of executor joined with any one appointed 
by the magistrate to be manager of the said institution and these managers 
are to have an œconomical commission for their trouble, taken from the 
interest of the sum above mentioned. 
(1) Plus probablement administor or execulor, administrateur ou exécuteur.
