myself and the marquis in which |
agreed to procure to be advanced to
his lordship. upon adequate secr tty,

paid to him on certain terms. The
marquis agreed TO charge his life in
torest In tie Rayaham estates as Sc.
curlty for this advancement, together
with interest aL/thC rate of four per
cent. per annum. and with the pro-
ccods Of the advance 10 pay off loan
of about E12 600 and other debts
amounting in the aggregate to 81.
O00 1t was agreed that If the result
of the marriage Is that son be born
within period Of - months the
charge upon the estates should be re.

as on account of the total sum to be
advanced and charged as a loan But
in case the C27 600 was not to be paid
until. as the first clause states, the
charge referred to Is executed and al
prior existing charges are dealt will
satisfactorily and a.! necessary re
Leases given These conditions have
not vet been fulfilled So that dis
poses of the first story.
