| This, he thought, would remedy the delect

adopted, the wife could do whatshe pleased
| with her estate. This was not protecti9n'
In q case which went up from Fayette
county, the proposition was that woman
could not charge her estate further than 10
the extent to which she could dispose OF IT,
| Thus being so unable to charge her estate
she cannot effect the descent OF the
| estate But if you pass the hrSt section she
can sell the whole estate, or charge it with
ali her debts and contracts oral or written
and inns there is no protection. All that
1,as necessarv was 10 substitute the section
| from the Code of 1868, and the matter
no,,id ha SETTLED. He then referred to the
citations hetween husband and wife and
tIa duty If the parents to provide for the
ch;,1ran and he did not believe that either
one NJ them should he allowed to convey
their property without consent OF the
other.
