ROBINSON VS. ROBINSON. 179
"Eighth. I give and devise to William Rea, his heirs and
assigns forever, all the lands I purchased from James A. Wad-
dell, sheriff, as the property of James Webster, or Powell and
'Fendeman, and any other real estate not already devised in
trust to be rented out by him, and the money received by him,
and equally divided between my six negroes,to wit: Old John,
Kate, Mary, Hannah, Ann, and Nancy, and their respective
proportions paid annually to each one, or his or her order, at-
tested by some justice of the peace."
"Ninth. I will and declare that any and all receipts given
by any legatee, or cestui que trust, attested by any justice of
the peace, shall be good and effectual releases and discharges
for the same, or so much thereof as in such receipt or receipts
shall be expressed to be received."
"Tenth. It is my will and desire that immediately after the de-
cease of any of the legatees, or cestui que trusts, Wm. Rea, trus-
tee as aforesaid, shall pay over whatever property he shall then
have as trustee to the legal representatives and heirs at law of the
said deceased, unless the deceased shall make some other appoint-
ment by his last will and testament executed according to law."
"Eleventh. If any bequest or devise contained in this my
last will and testament shall fail to take effect from any cause,
in such an event I will and declare that the trustee and execu-
tor by this will appointed, shall immediately transfer the equit-
able and legal title to the same to the state of Delaware, for
the benefit of the said state. And it is, in particular, my wish
and desire that in no event shall any part of my estate, real or
personal, go to or descend to Jacob Wilson, who married Elizabeth
Wheatley, daughter of Ezekiel Wheatley, and in no shape shall
he be administrator of my estate."
"Twelfth. It is my will and desire that my friend, William
Rea, with the desire of the persona interested in the trust prop-
erty and of full age, shall have authority to sell and convey
the lands and tenements devised to him in trust, or any part of
them, on such terms as he shall deem advisable, receive the
purchase money, and invest the same in some safe securities for
the benefit of those indicated and declared by this will, and in
the manner declared."
