Judge or Justice send the husband of the
before his wife Acknowledges provision which has
long been only ridiculous offensive nulity, a
mere temptation TO false cerfcates,is repealed; and
it provided that " it shall be necessary for
red woman to acknowledge her deed in any form other
than that required Of unmarried persons" 1t provi
