RICHARD WARNER (1711-1775). 245
(Concluded from page 217).
In his will, now at Somerset House, Warner desires to be
buried in the brick grave in Woodford churchyard near the
chancel door, where the body of his nephew John Leigh Warner
was deposited pro tempore in 1765, it being the property of his
brother Robert. He desires to be carried to the grave by six
men, preference being given to those employed in his garden,
to each of whom be bequeaths "a suit of cloathes such as work-
"ing-men wear on Sundays." He leaves all his books and
all his drawings and prints relating to Botany and Natural
History, together with his copper book-plate to the Rev. George
Wyndham, Warden of Wadham College, for the college, desir-
ing that his name may be kept in the books when rebound :
and in the same manner he bequeaths £300 to be invested in
Government or other securities, the interest to be applied to
an exhibition at the college, tenable for seven years, by eight
months' residence in each year, by the presentation of fifty dried
plants different from one another and from those of the preceding
years to the University Herbarium, and by a certificate of pro-
ficiency from the Professor of Botany. He leaves £50 to the
poor of Woodford, the interest on which is to be distributed by
the Rector on or about New Year's Day; and as he had been
elected a Director of the East India Company in 1760, he leaves,
"as is customary," £100 to their hospital at Poplar; £100 to
the London Hospital; various legacies to servants ; his "gold
"watch and £100 to Thomas Jervoise Clarke, eldest son of Jer-
"voise Clarke of Hanover Square and my niece his late wife
"Kitty Clarke as a token of love and esteem" ; and rings to
Robert and Samuel, the second and third sons. To Garrick
he leaves £50, besides the bequest of his papers before-men-
tioned ; and the residue of his property, including "Harts"
and his land in Clerkenwell, in trust to Dr. Wyndham and
his other executors for the use of Jervoise Clarke during his
life and, at his death, of his second son Robert and his heirs, or
failing them, to the third son Samuel. The codicil, besides
the alteration as to the Shakesperian papers above alluded to,
leaves the property at Jervoise Clarke's disposal to his second
or third son; and bequeaths a legacy to Mr. John Channing
