And secondly in satisfaction of a supposed intention of her late sister, Ann Carter, to have made a Bequest to charitable purposes, had she lived to make a Will, The Interest of the said £300. 3 per Cent consuls, to be paid to the Rector of Oswaldkirk, for the time being, and he is to pay to the Schoolmaster of Oswaldkirk £5 a year, in lieu of the £2, which he has been hitherto paid, for the education of five poor children of the Township, and which Children are to be nominated by the Rector, for the time being.
