AND shall, during such suspense of absolute vesting, accumulate the residue (if any) thereof in the way of compound interest, by investing the same, and the resulting income thereof, from time to time, in or upon any such stocks, funds, shares, or securities as are hereinbefore mentioned, for the benefit of the person or persons who, under the trusts herein contained, shall become entitled to the principal fund from which the same respectively shall have proceeded, with power for the said trustees or trustee to resort to the accumulation of any preceding year or years, and apply the same for or towards the maintenance or education of the child or children who shall, for the time being, be presumptively entitled to the same respectively; AND if there shall be no child of mine living at my death, who, being a son, shall attain the age of twenty-one years, or being a daughter, shall attain that age or marry, then from and after the death or marriage of my said wife, and such default or failure of children, I BEQUEATH the said moneys, stocks, funds, shares, and securities, or so much thereof as shall not have become vested or been applied under the trusts aforesaid, unto, &c.* AND I HEREBY DECLARE, that it shall be lawful for the said trustees or trustee, at any time or times before all my said real estate shall have been sold, to demise all or any of the said real estate for any term of years absolute, not exceeding twenty-one years, to take effect in possession, so as there be reserved on every such demise the best yearly rent or rents to be incident to the immediate reversion that can be reasonably gotten, without taking any fine, premium, or foregift, or anything in the nature thereof, and so as there be contained in every such demise a condition of re-entry for non-payment within a reasonable time, to be therein specified, of the rent or rents thereby reserved, and so as the lessee or lessees do execute a counterpart thereof, and be not made dispunishable for waste.

I DEVISE all the freehold and copyhold hereditaments vested in me upon mortgage unto the said E. F., G. H, and I. K., their heirs and assigns, subject to the equity of redemption subsisting therein respectively, but the money secured on such mortgages shall be considered as part of my personal estate.* I APPOINT my said wife, and the said E. F., G. H., and I. K. guardians of my infant children. AND I APPOINT the said E. F., G. H., and I. K., executors of this my will, and authorise the acting executors or executor, for the time being, of this my will, to satisfy any debts claimed to be owing by me or my estate, and any liabilities to which I or my estate may be alleged to be subject, upon any evidence they or he shall think proper, and to accept any composition or security for any debt, and to allow such time for payment (either with or without taking security) as to the said acting executors or executor shall seem fit, and also to compromise, or submit to arbitration, and settle all accounts and matters belonging or relating to my estate, and, generally, to act in regard thereto as they or he shall think expedient, without

It is unnecessary to include leaseholds or terms of years in the dispositions in the text, as they vest in the executors.

AND I HEREBY DECLARE, that, if the said trustees hereby appointed, or any of them, or any trustee or trustees to be appointed as hereinafter is provided, shall die, or be desirous of being discharged, or refuse or become incapable to act, then and so often the said trustees or trustee (and, for this purpose, any retiring trustee shall be considered a trustee) may appoint any other person or persons to be a trustee or trustees in the place of the trustee or trustees so dying, or desiring to be discharged, or refusing or becoming incapable to act; AND upon every such appointment the said trust premises shall be so transferred, that the same may become vested in the new trustee or trustees jointly with the surviving or continuing trustee or trustees, or solely, as the case may require, and every such new trustee shall (both before and after the said trust premises shall have become so vested) have the same powers, authorities, and discretions as if he had been hereby originally appointed a trustee. AND I DECLARE, that the
