Forms.

(d) After the 31st December, 1881, it will be sufficient to use the words "in fee simple" without the word "heirs" in the limitation of an estate in fee simple. Sect. 51.

(e) The declaration barring dower can be here inserted if required. Covenants for title by a vendor are implied by sect. 7.

(f) This takes the place of the covenants for production of title deeds inserted in documents prior to this Act, (sect. 9). Considering the object stated in note (a), it seems unwise, should the recital be used, to insert this list of documents in the deed itself, and thus furnish means of disproving the recital, and in this case it may be deemed advisable to have an acknowledgment independently of the conveyance.

(b) Although a husband can now convey direct to his wife, it is assumed that such a conveyance will be voidable to the same extent and under the same circumstances as an ordinary voluntary settlement by the husband to a trustee for the benefit of his wife, unless there is 'evidence to show that the wife out of money belonging to her for her separate use purchased the

lands from her husband for a sum reasonably equivalent to its Forms. money value. Apparently section 50 does not do away with the necessity of the husband's concurrence in a conveyance by the wife to another person, although the property was conveyed by her husband to her for her, separate use.

On the question of consideration see Dart 5th Edit. 890. It may be mentioned that there is no use in stating imaginary considerations; it is true that sect. 55 makes the receipt for consideration "sufficient" evidence in favour of a subsequent purchaser without notice, but then as the law stands a voluntary conveyance cannot be avoided against a purchaser for value with notice that his vendor is a volunteer. The mere absence of expressed consideration will not make the conveyance inoperative; so long as the words "to the use of" the grantee are inserted, the use cannot result. See notes to Tyrrell's Case, Tudor's Leading Cases. Quare whether this is not also the case by virtue of sect. 50.

The formalities prescribed by the Fines and Recoveries Act must still be observed in conveyances by a married woman.
