CONVEYANCE FROM A DEVISEE UNDER A WILL, IN WHICH THE TESTATOR'S WIDOW (ENTITLED TO AN ANNUITY) AND A LEGATEE JOIN IN RELEASING THE PREMISES SOLD, (THE REMAINDER OF THE PREMISES BEING A SUFFICIENT SECURITY.")

'This deed would require both a mortgage stamp upon the amount secured, and a conveyance stamp upon the whole purchase-money.

In a note upon this form in the first edition of this work, in which it was recommended that the premises should be conveyed at once to the mortgagee, or a power given to the purchaser in the conveyance to him, and the mortgage created by appointment under that power, it was stated that the premises would be thereby vested in the mortgagee, discharged from any judgments or incumbrances of the purchaser; but it is considered that, in consequence of the act of 1st and 2d Vict. c. 110, the rights of creditors would not be affected by any such expedients.

"If the whole of the premises devised have been contracted to be sold to the purchaser, the annuity might be secured by limiting the premises to the use, intent, and purpose that the annuitant should receive the sum of, &c., during her life; and a term of years created and limited to a trustee for securing the same, and subject thereto, to the use of the purchaser, his heirs and assigns, with a covenant by the purchaser for payment of the same; and with a declaration that, subject to the rent-charge, the term of years shall be in trust for the purchaser.

If the annuitant is not made a party to the conveyance, then, so much of the money as will produce an annual income equal to the charge may remain in the purchaser's hands on security of the estate; and to effect the same, a term may be limited to trustees to pay out of the rents the annual sum required to the annuitant; and after his decease, in trust to raise the principal and interest, and pay the same to the vendor.

h If the legacy be not yet payable, by reason of the lega tee being a minor, but is intended to remain chargeable on the premises unsold, a covenant may be added by the venCovenant by dor for payment of the same, as follows: "And the said (vendor,) for himself, his heirs, executors, and administrators, doth hereby further covenant, promise, and agree to and with the said (purchaser,) his heirs and assigns, that he, the legatees when said (vendor,) his heirs, &c., shall and will well and truly pay, or cause to be paid, unto the persons entitled to receive the said several legacies, or sums of, &c., in and by the said will of the said, &c., given and bequeathed to, or provided for the said, &c., as aforesaid, as and when the same shall respectively become due and payable; and shall and will, at the expense of the said (vendor,) his heirs or assigns, well and effectually, in due course of law, to the satisfaction of the counsel of the said (purchaser,) his heirs or assigns, cause and procure the said (legatees,) their respective exe cutors, administrators, or assigns, or the person or persons respectively entitled to and receiving the said sums of, &c., absolutely to release, exonerate, and discharge the said messuage, &c., hereby, &c., of and from the said three lega
