SCHEDULE 13D

This Statement on Schedule 13D Amendment No. 7 (this "Statement") is filed on behalf of the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").  This Statement amends the Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D relating to Units of Beneficial Interest (the "Units") of LL&E Royalty Trust (the "Issuer"), filed on October 23, 2008 with the Commission as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, and Amendment No. 6 thereto, filed with the Commission on February 9, 2009, June 10, 2009, September 2, 2009, December 28, 2009, May 5, 2010 and July 1, 2010, respectively (as so amended, the "Amended Statement"), as specifically set forth herein.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Amended Statement.
Item 4.		Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Amended Statement is hereby amended to add the following:
Robotti & Company, on behalf of the Reporting Persons, sent to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee ("Trustee") for LL&E Royalty Trust ("Trust"), a letter dated July 22, 2010 ("July 22 Letter") in which it stated that:
Robotti & Company received a letter from the Trustee ("Trustee Letter") in which the Trustee stated that the Trustee "does not believe that it would be in the best interests of the unitholders for the Trust to enter into an exchange agreement that would be likely to adversely affect the Trust's ability to market the [Trust's] assets."
as a consequence of the response in the Trustee's Letter, the Reporting Persons do not believe it is feasible for them to continue to pursue the proposed transaction set forth in Robotti & Company's letter dated June 29, 2010 to the Trustee.
such a transaction would not be possible without current financial statements and the Trust's most recently filed financial statements are as of and for the period ended December 31, 2008.
the Reporting Persons may bid for some or all of the Trust's assets, either individually or in conjunction with others, or take other actions to preserve the value of their units.
A copy of the July 22 Letter including the Trustee's Letter attached thereto, is attached hereto as Exhibit 7 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.	Materials To Be Filed As Exhibits
Item 7 of the Amended Statement has been amended and restated to read as follows:
