I have for some years put employed what leisure I have had, in preparing materials for a work on Criminal Law ; have written some observations, and coll2cted facts upon, different heads which would enter into such a work. What I have written is not by any means in a state fit for publication, but I should be glad if some friend of mine would look over it,-and if thought that there were any extracts or detached parts of it which it might be useful to publish, either as furiishing good observations or affording hints which might be serviceable to others who may treat of the subject, so flinch of them should Ise printed with nay name.-(The papers are, believe, principally in one of the boxes of my title dnids.) —That such a rtublication may be in.. jurious to my ceputatioa as an author, or as a Lawyer., I am quite indifferent about ; if it can be any way useful tkot is all that I desire.

I Lakteowats, and loeneWiennew, of Lincoln's Inn, to be their guardians. In selecting these two friends for that most impor tant trust, I have been governed by the great good sense and emineetvirtom I beim observed in Am, and which hSi induced me to prefer them for that office to the near relations of my children ' who, I am well aware, would, if warmth of affection and the strictest integrity were all that was requisite, be very proper guardians. At the same time, I ant well aware that I have no pretensions to impost on the two friends whom I have named, duties so anxious and important as those of geudians are, nor shall I think it any breach of friendship if they decline to accept it. It may net be improper for me to observe, that It was my intention, if I had ep have educated ell my sons for the Aar or for trade, supposes/ this met their own approba 'Son ; and I had hoped that who were to be in trade might I? Fe find admissions into some established regular houses of trade, and not such as ambit* in wild and hazardous specula tions. Upon this point, it was my intention when the proper time arrived, to have consuked my friends ALZIA3HSA Rime° and Rs stun Semite Esqes. sod the guardians of my children may perhaps think it advisable to do so. I leave to my excellent friend lone NASH, Esq. as a MCA token of the sense I entertain of the obligations I have received from him, the sum of five hundred pounds. I leave to the Reverer.d Doctor Seinen. PAS*, u a token of my respect and affection for him, me copy of Aristophane's Editio Prineepe; I likewise bequeath to him all the plate which he some time ago very generously presented to me ; it was a testimonial of his approbation of my conduct, which I•vras justly proud of : he bad originally left it me by his will, and afterwards thought proper to discharge the legacy in his life' time • I still, however, consider it but AS a legacy to and I therefore if I do not survive him, I return it to him by me, s my will.

My dear w.fe has been in the habit, for some years past, of paying forty pounds every Christmas to Mrs. FRANCES CASS, of Weobly, for her more com fortable support ; and I desire that the same sum of forty pounds be paid out of my personal estate to that Lady every Christmas during her life, the first payment to Le made on the first Christmas next after my death.

I am at the present moment of perfectly sound mind, and in the full possession of all my fscultiTs ; but I am lclieurinz under most severe .tifiictitm, aid I cannot but recollect that LASJIlity is amongst the evils which inent.d afflictions sometimes produce, without observing to myself that that unhappy lot may possibly at smut time be mine. If I ever should becdme insare (which Con forbid), it is my earnest desire, that while I continue in that st^te, the following bounties may be paid to different 'via ' tions, out of my income, during my life, and may be considered as part of the expenditure, which I certainly should have made if I had continued capable of managing my own affairs :—To my bz.ither, one hundred and fifty pounds a year; and to my nephew, Pelee Roorr, one hundred and fifty rounds a year; to my - nephew, Cr/maxim ROMILLT, one hundred pounds a year ; to tfiy nieces, CaIALINZ and MAKDAICT HOMULLY, thirty pounds a year a piece. Ml these payments I desire may be made during the joint lives of myself and the several annuitants respectively. I desire that the most ample allowances may be made for the maintenance and education of my dear children during their mioorities, and far their maintenance after they come of age, ausi that proper sums be taken out of the capital (if my fortune, if the income be not sufficient, as it sum cannot be) for the advancement of my children In life, and even as a capital far them to engage in any mercantile concerns; such advancement, however, ought not, I think, unless under some very peculiar circumstances, to exceed, in addition to what may have been before expended for their maintenance and education, the sum of £6000; with my dear Sortie, if a proper marriage should be tontemplation, I authorize hereby the advancement to her of a. portion not exceeding £10,000; but whatever shall be so advanced for any of my children, must be taken by them is satisf,acrion, or in part satisfaction, of what they may be entitled to under my will. If my dear wife should survive me, and enjoy her health (which GOD grant), all these matters must be at her absolute discosal, if not at the disposal of such persons as may by t►e Lord Chancellor be appointed committee of my estate; and I hereby bind myself and my personal representa tives to confirm and sanction whatever iilzaU have been done in compliance with this my request. I believe I have some stock in the pubfic funds purchased in my brother's name ; it is not of considerable amount, but whatever it may be I desire that my brother may never be called upon for it, or for any debt that he may owe me. I hereby declare such stock to be his, and I release all the debts he may owe me. &KIM ROMULT.

By my will, or by one of the codicils to it, I have released and bequeathed to my brother whatever debts might happen to be due from him to me at the ti{ue of my death; I have since, upon this day, directed my bankers to pay one thousand pounds into his hands, to be applied by him to my use as I have direct ed, or shall hereafter direct ; the release or bequest before men tioned is therefore not meant to apply to this thousand pounds, or to any other monies which may hereafter come to his hand for my use, but for all such sums he will have the goodness to account to my executor. &MM.
