distributed annually, in January, in that part of the Out
Ward of the Parish called Neat House.
The sum is invested in Consols, and realizes £10 10s.
per annum, which is distributed by the Rector and Churchwardens.
Mrs. Nasmyth— 1876.
Mrs. Nasmyth, by Will, dated 15th May, 1869,
bequeathed the residue of her Estate to the Rector and
Churchwardens for the time being, to be invested by them
in their names in the Consolidated Three per Cent. Bank
Annuities, or upon Government or Real Securities at interest,
in trust to pay and distribute the dividends and
interest arising therefrom half-yearly as they shall become
due and payable, in relief or gifts to the deserving poor,
born or residing in the said Parish, who shall not at any
time have received, or be then in the receipt of Parish
relief. Every unmarried person selected to be paid the sum
of £1 half-yearly, and every married person selected the sum
of £2 half-yearly. It being Mrs. Nasmyth's wish that as
many shall participate in the bequest as the annual produce
thereof will admit of when distributed at the said rates, and
further, that the selection of persons from among the
deserving poor shall at all times be under the entire control
of the Rector and Churchwardens for the time being, but so,
nevertheless, that they shall select as recipients in the proportion
of two married persons, widows, or widowers, to one
unmarried person.
