LEE, MATTHEW, son of William Lee, Northampton; b. 1694; adm.; Min.

By his will dated 27 Aug 1755 (proved 8 Oct 1755) he left certain estates to the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, Oxford, in trust for various purposes including exhibitions for the Westminster Students of Christ Church. The estates subsequently increased greatly in value, and the application of the income was altered more than once by decree of the Court of Chancery. By the ordinance attached to the Christ Church (Oxford) Ordinances Act 1867 £1260 of the annual income was directed to be applied, with other funds, towards the maintenance of the Westminster Junior Studentships at Christ Church.
For Lee’s bequest to Christ Church, Oxford, see E.G.W.Bill, op.cit., pp 104-5. The bequest to Christ Church amounted to approximately £30,000, out of which a fund of £50 was set up for the better support of the Westminster Students during the first year after their election, and Lee’s bequest also funded a number of exhibitions (four of which were specifically ‘mathematical’) for Westminster Students nominated by the Dean and Chapter. These “were worth £10 a year and were tenable for a maximum of eight years”, and were awarded to nearly every Westminster Student, and “from about 1786 the exhibitions were usually given some two years after matriculation”. The “Lee foundation was very wealthy” and the value of these exhibitions were increased to £30 a year in 1807.

SMITH, SEBASTIAN, eldest son of Sir Sebastian Smith, Kt, Cuddesdon, Oxfordshire, barrister, Bencher Middle Temple, and Grace, dau. of Edward Astyn, Oxley, Staffs., attorney; grandson of Sebastian Smith (KS in 1619, qv); b. 1677; adm.; KS 1693; elected to Christ Church, Oxford 1696, matr. 4 Jul 1696, aged 18, Westminster Student 29 Dec 1696 – void 1709; BA 1700; MA 11 Mar 1702/3; adm. Middle Temple 20 May 1699; was kept so short of money by his that “Jew, his father” that “his utmost ambition” was “any clerk’s place of £50 per annum value” (HMC Portland vii, 12-3); of Cuddesdon, Oxfordshire; left a small bequest to the School, the income of which was divisable among those elected to Oxford and Cambridge; m. by 1710 Hester, dau. of Joseph Lowndes, Chiswick, Middlesex; buried Cuddesdon, Oxfordshire 6 Dec 1752.

On 30 May 1753 the Dean and Chapter, reciting that he had “by his will bequeathed the sum of £50, the interest whereof to be for the benefit of the King’s Scholars”, ordered the money to be invested. He had in fact died intestate ; it seems probable, therefore, that the gift was made either by his widow or by his daughter Barbara (to whom administration of his estate was granted 4 Jan.1752/3), in accordance with a wish expressed by him in his lifetime, either verbally or in some document not admissible to probate as a will. The money was invested in the 3 ½ per cents, but it seems that for many years the income was not applied for the benefit of the King’s Scholars. On 20 Apr 1804 it was, however, ordered by the Chapter that a separate account should be kept of this fund, and the interest “applied for the benefit of the King’s Scholars elected to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge”.
