Third batch.  More to come tomorrow.

******************************************************************************************************************

...pounds like three per cent...          [life is used for like in this context a few times.  I won't cover any more examples.]

...upon trust to be applied towards carrying

on the purposes of that Charity for ever  I also give and bequeath unto the

Churchwardens and Overseers of the poor of the said parish...

...the interest dividends and

annual proceeds to arise therefrom in manner following...

...the said annual produce...

...yearly and every year forever [I think the lines in the RH margin should be inserted here] and I direct the same to be applied and

paid at the discretion of my Exors
[sic] William Northway during his life and after

his decease...

...and whom I direct to keep an account of the pay

=ment and distribution...

...in Government funds in their names and

to pay the interest thereof half yearly unto my niece Elizabeth Lovelock Wife

of James Lovelock during her natural life and for her separate...


...after her decease I give the

said Capital sum so invested to such child or children of my said niece Elizabeth

Lovelock...


...to have the whole the same

to be paid at his her or their respective ages of twenty one years but in case

my said niece shall die without leaving issue then I give the said Capital

sum unto my nephew... 
                [niece is crossed out before nephew.]


Obviously, Exors is a shortened Executors.
