life, after her husband's decease, in trust for her absolutely, and after her decease, as to one moiety for her children by a former marriage; in case of their deaths, for the sole use of the lady and as to the other moiety, on which the question arose in trust for her absolute use, as she should by any deed, or any will, during and notwithstanding coverture appoint, and in default of appointment, in trust for the children of the intended marriage; and if no issue, for the husband, and if no appointment of any of the property, then the entire of the property for the sole use of the lady. There was a covenant by the husband, that, after-acquired property in right of the wife, should be settled upon the same trusts. The lady afterwards acquired considerable sums by bequest, and as one of the next of kin of a relative, and applied to the trustees for a moiety of it, they declined to pay it over, upon which a bill was filed, which Sir Edward Sugden dismissed. It will be observed, the income was settled to the separate use of the wife, during coverture; to her absolute use in the event of her surviving him, and the principal as she should point. His Lordship observed, "that there was no question of merger, during their joint lives, the estate is secured to her separate use; after the determination of that estate, the property is not settled to her separate use. She takes it absolutely, and taking it absolutely, according to the settled law of the court, she cannot alien it during the life time of her husband."

ap

In England, the ingenious contrivance was resorted to of accelerating the possession, by conveying the intervening interests to the feme coverte, the reversioner, so that they might merge, or be extinguished in the reversion, and the reversion thereby reduced into possession, by creating a species of union of the particular estate, with the interest in remainder. And this was acted upon by the ViceChancellor, Sir L. Shadwell, in the cases before referred to. In his judgment in Hall v. Hugonin, he says "Suppose a father gives a sum of stock to a trustee for his daughter Elizabeth for life, remainder to his daughter Mary, a married woman, absolutely, and that immediately after his death, Elizabeth assigns her life interest to Mary, are not, by that mere act, both the life interest of her sister, and also her own absolute interest in remainder, vested in her? I do not put the case as one of merger, but I ask, whether the married daughter has not both the intereststhat is, the life interest of her sister, and also her own absolute interest in remainder? If she has then the whole interest, is it not an interest with which she is capable of dealing, in this court, as if it had been originally given to her absolutely ?" The argument of Mr. Rendall, in the same case, is the true answer to the general proposition stated by the Vice-Chancellor, the hypothetical case put by him by no means warranting such a deduction. The argument of Mr. Rendall is-"That a Court of Equity considers married women as objects of its especial protection, and, consequently-to adopt the language of Sir J. Leach, (Pickard v. Roberts, 3 Madd. 384)-it will never lend itself as an instrument to enable the husband to acquire a right in his wife's personal property, which he can by no means acquire at law." In the case put by the

[ocr errors]

Vice-Chancellor, Shadwell, Elizabeth had an un. doubted right to assign her interest to her sister, the married woman; that interest having thereby become present and vested, not reversionary, it would undoubtedly be capable of being assigned, it was no longer a life interest within the principle laid down in Purdew v. Jackson (1 Russ. 71), and Stiffe v. Everett (1 My. & Cr. 37), both of which cases were decided on the principle, that neither the husband alone, nor the husband and wife toge ther, could dispose of the wife's life interest, in consequence of the possibility of her survivorship. In Stiffe v. Everett, Lord Cottenham says—“Ido not see how, consistently with the cases of Purder v. Jackson and Honner v. Morton, the husband can make title to such of the dividends of the fund may accrue after his own death, and during the life of his wife surviving him." In the case put by the Vice-Chanceller, the interest being absolute, would be capable of alienation by the husband, when reduced into possession; and, as the wife would, in this case, be entitled only to her equity to a settlement, her consent to part with that would be taken by a Court of Equity, even though the fund should be her separate property, Major v. Lansley, (2 Russ. & My. 359); and it is on this ground of absolute interest the Vice-Chancellor rests his judgment, as he expressly guards himself from being thought to have put it on the ground of merger. The following contrivance was resorted to in Whittle v. Henning. There a sum of money to which the wife was entitled, under her father's will, was settled on her husband for life, remainder to herself for life; remainder to such children as they should jointly appoint; they appointed to an only and father and son assigned to the wife. As the wife took only an estate for life, according to the decision in Stiffe v. Everett, and Purdew v. Jackson, it was utterly impossible for the husband to alienate her possibility of survivorship, which would have been done, if the court had yielded to the means adopted to effectuate this object; for this reason, the husband will not be assisted by a Court of Equity to obtain personal property of the wife, not attainable at law. In Whittle v. Henning, although the whole interest in the money became vested in the wife, by the assignments, the husband could not have reduced it into possession, as the acts of the parties would not warrant the trus tees in acting contrary to the settlement under which they were appointed. And this is the foundation of the judgment of the court, that it would not lend its aid to do that indirectly, which could not otherwise be directly done. Lord Cottenham, in his judgment says, "the first thing the court had to consider was, how the rights of the parties could be affected by the machinery which they had adopted. Under the settlement the wife was to have the dividends for her life, subject to the prior life-interest of her husband; and therefore, she had an interest in reversion, which this court would not allow her to part with during her coverture. How, then, could this interest of the wife be affected by the deeds which had been executed? Whatever protection the wife would be entitled to against the interest which her husband might take jure mariti, she would not be deprived of by such a

son,

contrivance, as had been resorted to in the present case; otherwise it would not be practicable in many cases, for a father to make provision for his daughter, so as to protect her against her husband. This court had, however, adopted many rules for the protection of the wife; and so far interfered with the rights of the husband, as to refuse him any assistance in obtaining property which be-like amount as the licence duty for the time being payable longed to his wife, unless he made what the court considers a proper provision for her." This passage appears wholly to place the ground of the decision on the jurisdiction the court assumes for the protection of the wife, and its determination to prevent the rules it has established for the effectuation of this object, from being evaded by a contrivance, which in this case was evident, and to this length only can the case be pushed. To hold that when the estate has become absolute by the junction of the intermediate and reversionary estates through bona fide means; would lead to as great, if not greater inconvenience, than a relaxation of the wholesome rule laid down by Lord Cottenham, in Whittle v. Henning. The rule to be deduced from these considerations appeared to be, that when the chose in action, becomes so absolutely vested in the wife, as to be capable of being reduced into possession, though the interest of the wife had been reversionary, and as such unalienable up to the moment of the incident rendering it absolute-as in the case put in the Vice Chancellor, and in many others that may be easily conceived-there the Court of Equity will receive the wife's consent to waive her equity to a settlement. But when there are parties to take after the life-interest of the feme, as in Whittle v. Henning, and the other like cases, as the trustees cannot act upon the agreement between the cestui que trusts, and as the husband cannot consequently reduce the interest into possession-though in one sense absolutely vested by the conveyance of the parties to the wife. Then, under no circumstances, will the court interfere.
