  	I Sarah Collcutt of Oxford St Aldate, spinster ... I appoint my niece Mary Godfrey Talmage Executrix. After payment of my debts, funeral and testamentary expenses I give the following pecuniary legacies, to be paid within two months after my decease: I give my nephew William Collcutt of Oxford £1400 in 3% Consols now in my name at the Bank of England. I give my nephew Richard Collcutt of Oxford £1400 in 3% Consols I give my nephew Edward Collcutt of Oxford £1400 in 3% Consols I give my nephew James Collcutt of Oxford £1400 in 3% Consols Whereas I hold the promissory note of Mr Charles Talmage, late of Oxford but now of Horspath, as a security for a loan of to him of £1000: Now I require that [it] shall be repaid within two months after my decease. I give £800 [part of the £1000] equally between Elizabeth, James, Harriet and Richard, the four children of my niece Mary Giles deceased, late wife of James Giles of Oxford, auctioneer If any of the four die before me or within two months after my decease, his/her share goes equally among his/her children. If any of the four die as above without leaving any surviving children then his/her share goes equally among the survivors. If all four die as above without leaving children, the £800 shall sink into my residuary personal estate. I give £200 [the residue of the £1000] equally between my nephews William Collcutt and James Collcutt. I give my nephew the Revd Daniel Basley of BDF Luton, clerk, £100 in 3% Consols now in my name at the Bank of England. I give my niece Ann Basley of Horspath, singlewoman, £600 in 3% Consols I give all my wearing apparel equally between my two nieces Ann Basley and Mary Godfrey Talmage. I give my nephew Harry John Collcutt an annuity of £20 for life, and I bequeath to my friends William Fisher of Oxford St Ebbes, builder, and Robert Wyatt of Oxford St Aldates, bargemaster, (my Trustees) enough stock in 3% Consols to purchase that annuity [from a reliable source] as they deem expedient. Henry John Collcutt (or his representatives if he dies before it has been purchased) shall not be entitled to receive the value of the annuity instead. I give my Trustees £800 in 3% Consols Upon Trust to pay the dividends etc to my nephew William Collcutt and his wife Elizabeth during their lives, so that if Elizabeth Collcutt survives her husband she shall receive [it] for life for her separate use exclusively of any husband (her own receipt being a sufficient discharge) Neither William Collcutt nor Elizabeth shall have any power to alien or anticipate the payments After the decease of both I give the £800 stock equally between their surviving children, not only his children born of Elizabeth, but those born of his two previous wives. I give my Trustees £1200 in 3% Consols In Trust to pay the interest etc equally betwen my two nieces Elizabeth Forster the wife of William Forster of Oxford and Sarah Collins the wife of John Collins for their separate uses, to be received by them free from the debts etc of any husbands, and their receipts alone shall be sufficient discharges. If at any time Elizabeth Forster or Sarah Collins signifies in writing a desire to receive all or part of her £600 share of the principal, I direct my Trustees to pay [it] as they request. In default of such direction in the lifetime of Elizabeth Forster or Sarah Collins, my Trustees shall dispose of the £1200 stock (or the remaining shares) as Elizabeth Forster and Sarah Collins direct in their respective wills. All my furniture, plate, linen, china, books, cash in the house, household goods and other articles in my house, and all the residue of my moneys, stock, chattels, rights, credits and personal estate I give [all of it including any interest on my Stocks] to my Trustees In Trust for Mary Godfrey Talmage for her own separate use free from the debts etc of any husband, and her receipt alone shall be a sufficient discharge. If at any time Mary Godfrey Talmage signifies in writing a desire to receive all or part of the property or residuary moneys etc, I direct my Trustees to pay [it] as she directs. In default of such direction in the lifetime of Mary Godfrey Talmage, my Trustees shall dispose of [all or the remaining parts of it] as she directs in her will.
