Furches, J.,
concurring: I concur in the judgment of the Court, but not in the intimations therein that the feme defendant might have bound her real estate without acknowledgment and privy examination.
To hold that she could have done so, without acknowledgment and privy examination, would be contrary, to the traditions of the common law and to all our adjudged cases.
Whether the Legislature could provide for the conveyance of the land by femes covert without acknowl-edgement and privy examination, is not the question. If it could do so, it has not done so, and I hope it will not. They have little enough protection now. Do not take this little from them.
Faircloth, C. J., and Montgomery and Douglas, J. J., concur in the concurring opinion.
