The Chancellor.
The only question presented is whether a married Avoman can, without the co-operation of her husband, create a term of more than three years in her lands. This question was considered by the Supreme Court in its advisory opinion in a suit between the same parties under the- act concerning landlords and tenants, and it was there held that such power exists. Sullivan v. Barry, 17 Vroom 1. I concur in the views there expressed upon the subject, and therefore am of opinion that the judgment in this case should be affirmed.

For reversal — Rone.
