In the event of the death of the said Robert Henry Woodward, all the powers and authorities hereby given to and vested in the said Robert Henry Woodward shall and may be exercised by the trustees for the time being of an indenture dated the twenty-second day of August One thousand eight hundred and fifty-four and made between James Atkinson of the first part George Kenyon Holden of the second part John Bland Richard Colles Horace Flower and the said Robert Henry Woodward and Charles Mills of the third part as fully and effectually as the said Robert Henry Woodward and Charles Mills could have done by virtue of the said Act.
