The PROTEST of the House of taken part with the minority, either Lords of IRELAND. Die Veneris, 22 die Decembris, 1769. in perfon or by proxy, be entered in the journals of this houfe: And a debate arifing thereupon, the question was put, and the house was divided. The earl of Drogheda reported, that the contents below the bar were five, and the not contents in the house were thirty. It paffed in the Negative. it And that every perfon, to whom any of the faid Robert Wilkins and the faid Durance Hall as he is herein and hereafter directed to do. And thirdly, my mind and will is, that all the refidue of the intereft arifing from the faid money fo to be lent fhall be added to the principal, to make up lofles which may happen, or to increase the capital of the faid perpetual fund. And I do humbly requeft that the faid lord mayor of the city of London, the two senior aldermen, the recorder and chamberlain thereof, for the time being, do direct and appoint the perfons to whom, and the proportions in which, the faid money fhall be lent, not exceeding the above mentioned limited fum of three hundred pounds to one perfon, or perfons in copartnerfhip; and alfo not less than one hundred pounds to one person. I do defire that no part of this money may be lent without the order and direction in writing of the faid lord mayor, two fenior aldermen, the recorder, and the chamberlain. And I do alfo defire, that, at every meeting of the faid gentlemen to tranfact any affairs relative to the management of this truft, those who are actually present, if the bufinefs they meet upon be effected, will pleafe each of them to accept half a guinea. And my mind and will is, that the beforementioned fum of money bequeathed by me may be lent, as far as the best inforination can be obtained, only to perfons of honesty, fobriety, and induftry; and who can make it appear, that, or the time they have been in bufinefs, they have, on the whole, gained, and not loft thereby; and that they do not owe more than they are able to pay. And I defire that no perfon who may offer himself as a borrower of part of this money be this money Thall be lent, do, for the first year, pay one per cent. per annum for the fum borrowed, and for the remainder of the time he shall keep the fame, two per cent. per annum, and no more; and that the borrowers do punctually carry the interest due from them every half year to the faid chamberlain of London. And my mind is, that fuch part of the capital of the faid fund, as fhall at any time remain unemployed in the manner herein before by me directed, fhall or may be placed out, by and with the confent and approbation in writing of the faid lord mayor, the two fenior aldermen, the recorder, and chamberlain, at intereft on govern ment fecurities, but not fo as to impede my primary intentions of lending this money to young men, as above directed. And my mind and will is, that all the intereft arifing from the faid money fo to be lent be applied, firft, to pay fuch a falary, not exceeding forty pounds a year, as the lord mayor, the two fenior aldermen, the recorder, and chamberlain of London, fhall think proper to give to a clerk in the faid chamberlain's office, who may be appointed to keep the accounts of the loan of this money, and tranfact other matters incident thereto; and to defray all other charges relating to this truft: fecondly, to pay to Richard Wilkins, nephew of my late wife, thirty pounds a year; and to my fervant, Durance Hall, if the be in my service at the time of my decease, twenty pounds a year; during his and her refpective natural lives, by four equal quarterly payments: the first quarterly payment to begin when William Symns fhall no longer pay the faid annuities to [N2] refused journals of this houfe, relative to the proceedings and privileges of the other houfe of parliament, in imitation of the laft mentioned proteft. Sixthly, Becaufe we apprehend that we ought not to fuffer this diftinguishing privilege of the lords to be invaded or affumed, by any perfon, in whatever station; and that we ought particularly to refift any fuch attempt, when it may be thought to involve a breach of the privileges of the other houfe of parliament alfo, and may therefore be productive of diffention between the two houses. LOWTHE, CHARLEMONT, MOUNTMORRIS, POWERSCOURT, LONGFORD. On Friday the 22d of December, the above proteft was entered; notwithstanding which, on the Tuefday following, the lord lieutenant went to the house of lords, and entered his protest upon the lords journals, against the proceedings of the commons, in throwing out the privy council money-bill, alledging their reafons for fo doing. The houfe of commons have, however, given orders to their clerk, that the lord lieutenant's fpeech be not entered upon their journals. my funeral charges, and expences incident to the probate and execution of this my laft will, I do hereby will, order, and direct, that the before-named John Swale, Thomas Philips, and William Syms, my executors, the furvivors or furvivor of them, fhall pay the fum of twenty thoufand pounds, if the refidue of my eftate doth amount to that fum; but, if not, then the amount only of fuch refidue; unto the chamberlain of the city of London for the time being, to and for the ufes, intents, and purposes, and subject to the trufts, herein after mentioned: they my faid executors, at the time of payment thereof, giving notice in writing of fuch payment (which I hereby require of them to do) unto the lord mayor, the two fenior aldermen, and the recorder of the faid city forthe time being, to whom, jointly with the faid chamberlain, I commit the truft, care, and management of the faid truft-money, not doubting but they will take care that the fame be effectually fecured for and appropriated to the purposes intended by this my will. And my mind and will further is, that the faid fum of twenty thoufand pounds, or whatever fum befo paid by my faid executors to the faid chamberlain, fhall be and remain as a perpetual fund to be lent to young men who have been fet up one year, or not more than two years, in fome trade or manufacture in the city of London, or within three miles thereof, and can give fatisfactory fecurity for the repayment of the money fo lent to them. And my mind and will is, that not more than three hundred pounds, nor less than one hundred pounds, be lent to any one person, or perfons in copartnership, nor for a longer term than five years; and that that every perfon, to whom any of the faid Robert Wilkins and the faid this money Thall be lent, do, for the firit year, pay one per cent. per annum for the fum borrowed, and for the remainder of the time he fhall keep the fame, two per cent. per annum, and no more; and that the borrowers do punctually carry the interest due from them every half year to the faid chamberlain of London. And my mind is, that fuch part of the capital of the faid fund, as fhall at any time remain unemployed in the manner herein before by me directed, fhall or may be placed out, by and with the confent and approbation in writing of the faid lord mayor, the two fenior aldermen, the recorder, and chamberlain, at interest on govern ment fecurities, but not fo as to impede my primary intentions of lending this money to young men, as above directed. And my mind and will is, that all the intereft arifing from the faid money fo to be lent be applied, firft, to pay fuch a falary, not exceeding forty pounds a year, as the lord mayor, the two fenior aldermen, the recorder, and chamberlain of London, fhall think proper to give to a clerk in the faid chamberlain's office, who may be appointed to keep the accounts of the loan of this money, and tranfact other matters incident thereto; and to defray all other charges relating to this truft: fecondly, to pay to Richard Wilkins, nephew of my late wife, thirty pounds a year; and to my fervant, Durance Hall, if the be in my service at the time of my decease, twenty pounds a year; during his and her refpective natural lives, by four equal quarterly payments: the first quarterly payment to begin when William Symns fhall no longer pay the faid annuities to Durance Hall as he is herein and hereafter directed to do. And thirdly, my mind and will is, that all the refidue of the intereft arifing from the faid money fo to be lent fhall be added to the principal, to make up lofles which may happen, or to increase the capital of the faid perpetual fund. And I do humbly requeft that the faid lord mayor of the city of London, the two fenior aldermen, the recorder and chamberlain thereof, for the time being, do direct and appoint the perfons to whom, and the proportions in which, the faid money fhall be lent, not exceeding the above mentioned limited fum of three hundred pounds to one perfon, or perfons in copartnerfhip; and also not less than one hundred pounds to one perfon. And I do defire that no part of this money may be lent without the order and direction in writing of the faid lord mayor, two fenior aldermen, the recorder, and the chamberlain. And I do alfo defire, that, at every meeting of the faid gentlemen to tranfact any affairs relative to the management of this truft, those who are actually present, if the bufinefs they meet upon be effected, will please each of them to accept half a guinea. And my mind and will is, that the beforementioned fum of money bequeathed by me may be lent, as far as the beft inforination can be obtained, only to perfons of honesty, sobriety, and induftry; and who can make it appear, that, or the time they have been in bufinefs, they have, on the whole, gained, and not loft thereby; and that they do not owe more than they are able to pay. And I defire that no person who may offer himself as a borrower of part of this money be [N2] refused money refufed on account of the religion he may profefs, provided he be a Proteftant. And I earnestly request that this fund may never be made fubfervient to any party views. And, further, my mind and will is, that no part of this fhall be lent to an alehoufe-keeper, a diftiller, or a vender of distilled liquors. And I defire that a particular regard may be had to all fuch perfons as fhall be recommended by my executors as borrowers of part of this money. And, as I repofe full confidence in the integrity of my executors, my mind and will exprefsly is, that if, by the account they fhall give into the faid chamberlain's office, it fhall appear that, after payment of my debts, my fpecific legacies, and my funeral charges, and the expences attending the probate and execution of this my will, the refiduum of my eftate doth not amount to the faid fum of twenty thousand pounds, then the account fo given in by them, or the furvivors or furvivor of them (if no errors appear therein) fhall be accepted at the faid office as juft and right; and the fum therein stated to be the refiduum of my eftate fhall be received by the faid chamberlain in lieu and full fatisfaction of and for the faid fum of twenty thousand pounds; and his receipt fhall be a good and fufficient difcharge for the fame to my faid executors. And my will further is, that my faid executors, or any of them, fhall not be fued or molested by any perfon or perfons whattoever touching fuch refidue of my eftate, unleis error fhall appear in their or his account thereof, which error they or he refufe to rectify. And any mind and will alfo is, that my my fiid executors fhall not be anfwerable one for the other, nor for the my ex act, deed, or receipt of the other. And whereas it may happen that fome of the debts or fums of money due and owing to me, upon mortgages, bonds, notes, or other fecurities, may be attended with hazard or trouble in the recovery thereof; I do therefore hereby authorife and fully impower my executors, the furvivors or furvivor of them, to compound any fuch debts or fums in fuch manner as they or he, in their or his difcretion, fhall think fit. And I do hereby will and direct, that whilft William Syms (one of ecutors) fhall be indebted to my estate in fuch a fum as the intereft thereof, at four per cent. per annum, fhall amount to fifty pounds, that he, the faid William Syms, do pay the two annuities of thirty pounds and twenty pounds a year to Richard Wilkins and Durance Hall, in the manner as in this my will before directed. And when he, the faid William Syms, shall have paid what he may be indebted to my estate, or fo much thereof as that the interest of the remainder shall not amount to the faid fun of fifty pounds, then my mind and will exprefsly is, and I hereby order and direct, that the faid annuities of thirty pounds a year to Richard Wilkins, and twenty pounds a year to Durance Hall, be punctually paid, according to the directions before given in this my will, out of the intereft arifing from the money bequeathed by me in truft to be paid to the chamberlain of London, to be lent to young men.
