SINGULAR WILLS
25
OF THE REV. GEORGE APPLEBY, CLERK, OF RAQUET--COURT,
FLEET-STREET, LONDON.
My body, after being dressed in flannel waistcoats, instead
of a shirt, an old surtout coat and breeches, without lining or
pockets, an old pair of stockings,—shoes I shall want none,
having done -^th walking, and a worsted wig, if one can
be got I desire, may be buried in as plain a manner as
possible, wherever my widow shall think proper. The in-
terest of money in the funds, to my dearly beloved wife, for
her life, and after that to my son, John Appleby; till which
time, I hope he will wait with patience, and be as good to
her as he can. Dated 27th July, 1782.
Proved, 7th August, 1783, by the oath of Ann Apple-
by, widow, the relict of the said deceased.
OF JOSEPH DALJ3Y, OF THE PARISH OF ST. MARY-LE-BONE, IN
THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX.
I give to my daughter Ann Spencer, a guinea for a ring, or
any other bauble she may like better :—I give to the lout,
her husband, one penny, to buy him a lark-whistle; I also
give to her said husband, of redoubtable memory, my fart-
hole, for a covering for his lark-whistle, to prevent the abra-
sion of his lips ; and this legacy I give him as a mark of
my approbation of his prowess and nice honour, in drawing
his sword on me, (at my own table), naked ?md'unarmed as
I was, and he well fortified with custard. I give to my son,
Joseph Dalby, of the Island of Jamaica; one guinea, and to
balance accounts with him, Igive him forgiveness, and hope
the Almighty will give him a better understanding.
Proved, 27th July, 1784, by the oath of Anthony Gill,
Esq. the sole executor.
