				I, Margaret

am, of all tenants who have occupied
a portion of the property bequeathed to
me under the Will of my late husband

bequeathed to him.

one fine table cloth, and fine coverlet.
I give and bequeath to my grand-daughter

		It is my will, and I do declare,
and bequeath that each of the aforesaid
legacies or bequests shall go to the party
named, or his or her heirs and legal rep-
resentatives, and a failure of any legacy,
or bequest, or any part thereof; but each
and every of the within named legatees
shall receive, have, hold and enjoy his
or her respective legacy or bequest,
Lastly, I do hereby constitute and ap-
point Hugh M’Master to be the Exec-
utor of this my last Will and testa-
ment.
	In Witness whereof, I Margaret

gust, in the year of our Lord one thou-
sand eight hundred and sixty two.
