Chloe Daggett, Petitioner &c.
    Petition by prochein ami of an infant feme covert for the sale of real estate granted, and the proceeds ordered to be secured for her benefit.
    
      ° Warren presented the petition of Chloe Daggett as next friend of Chloe Carpenter, her daughter, a married woman under twenty-one years of age, for the sale of real estate belonging to the minor, representing that it would be for her benefit that the estate should be sold and the proceeds applied to her use. He stated, that the mother had been guardian of record, but he presumed the guardianship was terminated by the marriage, and that the husband would give, a release to the purchaser. The Court (Parker C. J. and Wilde J. alone being present) granted the petition, observing that the pro ceeds must be secured for the benefit of the wife.
