eviction by a remainder-man after the determination of a life estate, a term of sixty years could have no precise reference to that either, since such a period, although it may be an approximative symbol of the probable duration of a life, is not the true measure either of an average or of a maximum. The truth is, probably, that the rule was, as observed by Mr. Hayes, (1 Introd. to Conv. 282), originally suggested by the period of sixty years, but that it was gradually received, and finally adopted as a standard, on account of its being a measure of a sort of probability, founded on many considerations, in favour of the validity of a title under which uninterrupted enjoyment had been maintained for that period; and, as such, it was, and is, a very convenient and reasonable standard.

The late statute, indeed, has made it a more rational rule than it was before, because, by abolishing the almost unlimited period for the right of claim of a remainderman expectant on the determination of an estate tail, to which, as before observed, the sixty years term could have no application at all, it has, in effect, (with the exception of the case of assurances by tenants in tail creating base fees), reduced the application of the rule to the case of a remainder expectant on the determination of a life estate; and, for that particular case, it is undoubtedly a very appropriate measure. For, it will be recollected, that the chance of an eviction by a remainderman, after the termination of a life estate of more than sixty years' duration, must be a chance upon a chance: firstly, the chance (not a very strong one) that a life estate shall last sixty years; and, secondly, the chance, that, out of the few life estates so enduring, the particular one shall be that in respect of which there has been a wrongful conveyance of the fee. The mere consideration of the rule in this point of view shews at once its true principle and its fitness. We rejoice, therefore, at seeing the decision in Cooper v. Emery, as well because it settles a doubt, as because it settles it by the assertion of a rule consistent with a calculation of probabilities, on which alone can be obtained a reasonable chance of security, by efflux of time, against eviction by parties claiming under rights to which the specific bar of the statute does not apply.

of seisin, or inrolment, or a prior lease, all such freehold land 2. That every person may convey by any deed, without livery lease and release; and every such conveyance shall take effect as he might before the passing of this act have conveyed by as if it had been made by lease and release.

3. That where, by any deed which shall take effect as a bargain and sale or covenant to stand seised, freehold land shall be conveyed to any person, or to any person and his heirs, to any uses, such deed shall have the same effect in passing the legal seisin, and in other respects, as if the same had been a lease and release or grant.

4. That where, by any deed which shall take effect as an appointment in exercise of a power, freehold land shall be appointed to any person, or to any person and his heirs, to any uses, such deed, unless a contrary intention shall appear by it, shall be construed and shall take effect as if the words relating to such first-mentioned person, or to him and his heirs, had been omitted, and the appointment had been made at once to the uses therein expressed.

5. That no partition or exchange or assignment of any freebold or leasehold land shall be valid unless the same shall be made by deed.

6. That no lease in writing of any freehold, copyhold, or leasehold land, or surrender in writing of any freehold or leasehold land, shall be valid as a lease or surrender unless the same shall be made by deed, but any agreement in writing to let or to surrender any such land shall be valid and take effect as an agreement to execute a lease or surrender, and the person who shall be in the possession of the land in pursuance of any agreement to let may, from payment of rent or other circumstances, be construed to be a tenant from year to year.

7. That any person may convey or assign by any deed any such contingent or executory interest, right of entry for condition broken, or other future estate or interest as he shall be entitled to in any freehold or copyhold or leasehold land, or personal property, or any part of such interest, right, or estate respectively, whether he may or may not be ascertained as the person, or one of the persons, in whom the same may become vested, and whether he may be entitled thereto under the instrument by which the same was created, or under any disposition thereof by deed or will; and every person to whom any such interest, right, or estate shall be conveyed or assigned shall be entitled to the same interest, right, or estate, or such part thereof as shall be conveyed or assigned to him, and the same action, suit, and remedy for the same, as the person originally entitled thereto, his heirs, executors, or administrators, would have been entitled to if no conveyance, assignment, or other disposition thereof had been made; provided that no person shall be empowered by this act to dispose of any expectancy which he may have as heir, or heir of the body inheritable to any freehold or copyhold land, or as next of kin, under the statutes for the distribution of the estates of intestates, of a person who shall survive him to any leasehold land or personal property, nor to any estate, right, or interest to which he may become entitled, under any deed thereafter to be executed, or under the will of any person who shall survive him, and no deed shall by force of this act bar or enlarge any estate tail; provided also, that no chose in action shall by this act be made assignable at law.

8. That any married woman may assign by deed any such reversionary or other future interest as she may be entitled to in any personal property, in like manner as she might dispose of the like interest in any money to arise from the sale of land. 9. That no deed shall be valid unless the same shall be signed as well as sealed, (except when made by a corporation aggregate); and no deed shall be valid unless its execution shall be attested by one or more witness or witnesses, but no definite form of attestation shall be necessary.

10. That no appointment made by deed or writing (otherwise than by will) in exercise of a power shall be valid, unless the same shall be executed as a deed is required by this act to be executed; but no order or direction by a married woman to pay any money to which she may be entitled for her separate use, or any part of the income to which she may be entitled for her separate use of land of any tenure, or of personal property, shall be deemed to be an appointment within the meaning of this act.

11. That every deed executed as by this act is required shall be a valid execution of a power of appointment by deed or writing, (otherwise than by will), notwithstanding it may have been expressly required that such power should be executed by a deed or writing with some additional or other form of execation or solemnity.

12. That any person may convey or assign freehold or leasehold land or personal property to himself or herself, or to his wife or her husband, either alone or together with any other

person; and such conveyance or assignment shall take effect as if the same had been made by a trustee after a conveyance or assignment of such land or personal property had been made to him for that purpose by such person.

13. That neither the word "grant" nor the word "exchange" in any deed shall have the effect of creating any warranty or right of re-entry, nor shall either of such words have the effect of creating any covenant by implication, except in cases where by any act of Parliament it is or shall be declared that the word "grant" shall imply any covenants for the title. 14. That no conveyance shall be voidable only when made by feoffment or other assurance, where the same would be absolutely void if made by release or grant; and that no assurance shall create any estate by wrong, or have any other effect than the same would have if it were to take effect as a release, surrender, grant, lease, bargain, and sale, or covenant to stand seised, (as the case may be).

15. That when the estate immediately preceding a contingent remainder and the next vested remainder or reversion shall, by surrender, conveyance, descent, or otherwise, become vested in the same person, such union shall not destroy or defeat the contingent remainder, but the same shall take effect as if there had been no such union.

16. That any two or more persons possessed of or entitled to any leasehold land or personal property as tenants in common may by deed declare that they will be joint tenants thereof, and thereupon they shall be possessed thereof or entitled thereto as joint tenants, as if the same had been assigned to them as joint tenants; but the survivor of any such tenants in common for their lives shall not, by virtue of this act, acquire a greater estate in any share than he would have been entitled to if they had not become joint tenants.

17. That when any person entitled to any freehold or copyhold land by way of mortgage has or shall have departed this life, and his executor or administrator is or shall be entitled to the money secured by the mortgage, and the legal estate in such land is or shall be vested in the heir or devisee of such mortgagee, or the heir, devisee, or other assign of such heir or devisee, and possession of the land shall not have been taken by virtue of the mortgage, such executor or administrator shall have power, upon payment of the principal money and interest due to him on the said mortgage, to convey by deed or surrender (as the case may require) the legal estate which became vested in such heir or devisee; and such conveyance shall be as effectual as if the same had been made by any such heir or devisee, his heirs or assigns.

18. That the receipt in writing of any person to whom any money shall be payable upon any express or implied trust shall effectually discharge the person paying the same from seeing to the application or being answerable for the misapplication thereof, unless the contrary shall be expressly declared by the instrument which created the trust.

19. That it shall not be necessary in any case to have a deed indented; and that a deed not indented shall have the same effect as if the same had been an indenture, and any person, not being a party to any deed, may take an immediate benefit under it in the same manner as he might under a deed poll.

20. That no disclaimer of any land shall be valid unless the same be made by deed, or by matter of record, or by any bill or answer to a bill or other proceeding in a court of equity. 21. That any married woman may disclaim any land. 22. That no conveyance, assignment, or disclaimer by deed made by any married woman by virtue of this act shall be valid, unless the deed by which the same shall be made be acknowledged by her in the same manner as a deed by which she might dispose of land is required to be acknowledged.

23. That where the reversion of any land, subject to a lease, shall be merged in any remainder or other reversion or future estate, the person entitled to the estate into which such reversion shall have merged, his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, shall have and enjoy the like advantage, remedy, and benefit against the lessee, his heirs, successors, executors, administrators, and assigns, for nonpayment of the rent, or for doing of waste or other forfeiture, or for not performing conditions, covenants, or agreements contained and expressed in the indenture of his lease, demise, or grant, against the lessee and farmer and grantee, his heirs, successors, executors, administrators, and assigns, as the person who would for the time being have been entitled to the mesne reversion which shall have merged would or might have had and enjoyed if such reversion had not been merged.

24. That any rent-charge may be apportioned in like manner as any other rent.

25. That the release from a rent of any part of the land out of which it shall be payable shall not be a discharge of the residue of such land, but the rent shall be recoverable out of such residue, or any part thereof, in the same manner as it might have been recovered thereout if such release had not been made; provided, that, where the owner of the land released shall not be the owner of such residue of the land or of any part there. of, the owner of such residue of the land or any part thereof shall be entitled to such contribution (if any) from the owner of the land released as he would have been entitled to if no such release had been made.

26. That a condition or covenant not to assign or underlet or do any other act without licence shall not be wholly released or determined by a licence to do one such act, but every such licence or consent shall be a waiver or release of the condition or covenant so far only as respects any act done according to the terms expressed in such licence or consent, and any act done contrary to the condition or covenant, other than such act as shall have been permitted by any such licence or consent, shall be deemed a breach of the condition or covenant; and where a bankrupt or insolvent debtor, or a defendant in any suit against whom execution shall be issued, shall be the owner of land demised by any lease which shall contain a condition or covenant against assigning or underletting the same by the lessee or his assigns without licence, the assignment of such land by the assignee of such bankrupt or insolvent debtor, or by the sheriff under such execution, shall not (unless expressly mentioned in such condition or covenant) be deemed a breach of such condition or covenant, but such condition or covenant shall continue in force with respect to any subsequent assignment or underlease which shall be made contrary thereto.

27. That this act shall commence and take effect from the 31st December, 1844, and shall not extend to any deed, act, or thing executed or done before the 1st January, 1845. 28. That this act shall not extend to Scotland.
