I have fur some years past employed what leisure I have
had, in preparing materials fur a work me Criminal Law ; I
have written some observations, and collected facts upon dif-
ferent beads *hi' would ruler into such a %rusk. What
have written is not by any means in a state tit fur politica-
time, but I should he glad if some friend of mine would look
it over, and if thought that there were any extracts or de-
tached parts of it whir' it might he useful to publish. either
asfuruishing Ruud observations or affording hints which
might he serviceable to other* who may treat of the subject,
or much of them should he rioted with my nan:e.—(The
papera are, I believe, principally in one of the Inners of any
title dads )—That such a publication might be injurionie to
my reputation as an author, or a lawyrr, I am quite indef_
fercut about; if it can be any say itsrfsh that is all that
I desire. If my friend Mr. iVhishaw would look over the
papers with this view, mid ilei HIP what st 1.1 he done w jib
respect to them, I shuttle' be highly gratili 4—they could out
possibly be in better hands. If it were not to snit him to

This is a codicil to my last will and testament. If my dear
wife, whom I have by my will appoi.tieti guardian of my
children, should die before me, which I leer is but too pro-
bable, I hen...y*l)point Colonel Garb..it ti• inium, of Ksill
Court, in the county of Hereford, to be such guardian ; 11111
if he should happen to die during the Iriaority of any of my
children, or should from ill health decline to take upon
self Ilw office of their Kamilla'', I, iit that case, appoint Wil-
liam, Marquis of Lansdown,auil John 111ushaw, of Lincoln's
Imo, to be their guardians. In selecting these two friends for
that most important trust, I have been governed by the great
good sense anti emimist wit Imo I bare observed in them, and
which has induced sue to prefer them for that office to the
near rrlationo of my children, who, I am well aware, would,
if warmth of aftectiou and the strictest integrity were all that
was requisite, he very proper guardians. At the same time I
sin well aware that I have nu pretensions to impose ou the
two friends whom I have named, ditties so anxious and im-
portant as those of guardians are, not shall I think it any
breach of friendship if they decline to accept it. It may not be
improper for me to observe, that it was my intention, if I had
hoed, to have educated all my suns for the bar or fur wide,
ouppootog that this met with their own approbation, tool I had
hoped that those who were to he is trade might find admissions
into some long estalanshi.d regular houses of trade, and not
into such as embark its wild amid hazardous speculations.
Upon this point, it was soy intention, "then the proper liine
arrived, to have consulted my friends Alexander Bating and
RlEllard Sharp, Esquires, and the guardians of my childreu
may perhaps think It advisable to do so. I leave to my ex-
edletit friend John Nash, Esq. as a aniall token of the setote
I eine. law of the obligations I have reeeivi d from him, the
sum of 5001 I leave to the Reverend Hortor Smutted Parr,
its a token of my revert and affection for hoc, my copy of
Aristopham's Editio Primer ; I likewise bequeath to him
all the plate which he sometime ago very generously pre-
sent.d to use ; it was a teststestsnuitti sI of his approbation of my
conduct ; which I was justly rood of: he had orizinally left
it to use by his will, and afterwards thought proper to dis-
ch.rpt the lexary in his life tune; I still_ however, consider
it but as • legacy to int, and therefore if I do nut survive
loin, I return it to him by this• soy will. I leave to my
nephew, Cuthbert Romillys 1,0001., ill addition to the Iry-
des which I hare already given to hint by my will and by
former cushiest.. To the %minis of [Antonioni I Ilelille/1111

Mr 11'hishaw some bunks by my will or former codicils, iu
addition to them, I letve Outdate's 1141'&111.1%C. Since
tusking my former codicils, I have purchased of the trustees

This is a farther codicil to my will. I give my deur

ext Cllit/IA already named by nic. I desire that the allowances
to be inide fur my children's maintenance and ethic:llion,
during their miunrlly, shall he liberal, and that it be just
as amebas the guardians of my children shill think —, and
that neither they nor my executors shall ever lie answerable
to any one fur having made such allowance, though it may
be more than the Court of Chaiwery wonl.l have allowed, ur
though it may be thought disproportionate to the antonnt of
their fortunes. My dear wife Ices been in the habit,for some
years past, of paying forty pound. errs y Christmas, to Mr..
France. Cain, of IVeobly, fur her a comfortable support ;
and 1 desire that the same sum of forty pounds he paid out

her life, the first payment to be mule on the first Christsaaa
