1,0001. to each of the parishes of Nunney and Cloford ;

women, being parishioners, of good character, as might
enter into " the holy estate of matrimony " in each suc-
cessive year. During the past year there have been seven
claimants in the parish of Nunney, and who each received

interest accumulated at Cloford for two years, and an indi-
vidual received SOL, with which she immediately pur-
chased a house.
