I give and bequeath to "the British and Foreign Bible Society," instituted in London in the year 1804, the sum of

Pounds Sterling, to be raised and paid, for the purposes of the said Institution, out of such part only of my personal estate as shall not consist of chattels real, or money secured on mortgage of Lands or Tenements, or in any other manner affecting Lands or Tenements; for which Legacy the receipt of the Treasurer for the time being of the said Institution, shall be a sufficient discharge to my Executors.

*** Bequests for charitable or benevolent purposes, of lands or tenements, or of money to be laid out in the purchase thereof, or charged on, or otherwise affecting lands or tenements, or of money secured on mortgage of lands or tenements, are void ; but money, stock, or other personalty, not falling under any of the above descriptions, may be so bequeathed.

All persons who may have bequeathed to the British and Foreign Bible Society Legacies, payable out of the late 5 per cent.
