“Witnessed R. MILLS. J. A. BERRY. JOHN BAINES.” Mr. West died possessed of property, and some valuable manuscripts, which were conveyed by the above will. The following will in rhyme was written by William Hunnis, a gentleman of the chapel under Edward VI., and afterwards Chapel Master to Queen Elizabeth: “To God my soule I do bequeathe, because it is his owen, My body to be layd in grave, where to my friends best knowen; Executors I will none make, thereby great stryfe may grow, Because the goods that I shall leave wyll not pay all I owe.” WILL OF JAMES BIGSBY The following is a curious testamentary paper of a North Essex laborer, who resided at Manningtree, England: “As I feel very queer my will I now make; Write it down, Joseph Finch, and make no mistake. I wish to leave all things fair and right, do you see, And my relatives satisfy. Now, listen to me. The first in my will is Lydia my wife, Who to me proved a comfort three years of my life; The second my poor aged mother I say, With whom I have quarrelled on many a day, For which I’ve been sorry, and also am still; I wish to give her a place in my will. The third that I mention is my dear little child; When I think of her, Joseph, I feel almost wild. Uncle Sam Bigsby, I must think of him too, Peradventure he will say that I scarcely can do. And poor Uncle Gregory, I must leave him a part, If it is nothing else but the back of the cart. And for you, my executor, I will do what I can, For acting towards me like an honest young man.
