(a) The object of this clause is to restrict the implied covenants for title to the precise subject conveyed; cf. 8. 7 (1), 44 & 45 Vict. c. 41, ante, p. 333.

(b) We are here furnishing only a rough example of the mode in which the sweeping implication of "general words" (s. 6 (4), 44 & 45 Vict. c. 41, ante, p. 332) may be curtailed; of course, some particularity would be required in practice in describing the excepted easements.

(c) Until dower is actually assigned, a widow does not acquire any estate which can properly be the subject of conveyance. She has, until such assignment, merely a right or title to dower which she may extinguish by release; to be valid, such release should be made to a person having an actual estate in the land; hence, it is supposed that the purchaser has acquired the estate of the coparcener by the first testatum when the widow executed the conveyance; cf. Park on Dower, 212, 213.
