Mcieavtf, she c r-o wear fonU-ré* ’ey *272part 19, may sell and dispose under restrictions there nseníiofe» ed, of the said negro slaves ; which, by reference, are the ne-groes' vested in the trustees — that is to say, both negroes and their increase. And how could it be necessary to give them jointly this power, if as to the increase, they are intended by the deed to be absolutely heirs i And here the term, said negroes, relates to the last antecedent, in part IS, where the wordj increase, and their power to revoke the uses concerning the said negroes and their increase, is expressly mentioned, and immediately afterwards it is added, and they may sell the said ne-groes.

Secondly s They argued that this marriage settlement was to be considered as a bar to her claim of a distributive share of the estate ©f F. Corbin, which belonged to him by this deed » and they cited 1 Fonb. 92. 2 Vern. 58. 4 Viner, 40. 2 Vern. 709. 1 P. W. 324. 3 Atk. 419. 1 Vez. 1. 1 P. W. 324. 2 Bro. Ch. 95, 394, and many other cases.

Thirdly : They argued, that she had under this deed, a provision made for her out ef his estate. In part Í iv a lot, wharf, and island, are to be to her use after his death, for the term of h-r life; and that this made him a purchaser in tquity, of all the í -tate secured to him by the deed of a settlement j and he has also provided her with £. 120 per ann. to be paid to her for life, in case of her surviving turn, in part 22 s and they doubted whether his estate, being a trust estate, was subject to the act of distributions.

B contra-

She is entitled under this deed to the increase, aS a part of her separate estate ; for the negroes1 and increase are mentioned in parts 1, 3 & 4, where the purposes of the deed and the passing of the property to the uustets, is provided for ; and in part 7, where the trustees are to hold the property ; yet ia part 10, the word, increase, is dropped as an antecedent, and made use of as a relative, she is to receive the profits of the negro slaves, by labor, hire or increase. And whj is the omission so carefully observed? Is it not btcause otherwise, profits by Increase, would have meant profits by increase of the negroes and increase ? Whereas the writer meant the increase themselves to go to her ? In part 12, where the trusts of the property, and particularly of the negroes vested in the trustees are stated, the term, ¿aerease, is also carefully omitted. They are to hold the negroes in trust, that so much of the saicl negroes, &c. Why is the term, increase, dropped here ? The answer is, because the increase were appropriated to her by part 10. in part 16, she is to take the direction and management of the negro slaves, and to take the profits arising from the same, by the labor, hire and increase of the negro slaves. Wbv is the term, increase, here omitted as the antecedent? And why is she directed to take and *273.repose c; thtfc prrñt?, by increase in such man!i*y as sise shsñl p ease and think fir í Here the exoression is, Lí'rea&e oí’ útv ‘iL'igrv '-laves. lí’ íhe-teríu, proS g by increase, eoiílcl be consíra---.cl :n par;-: 10, to be some other increase than that of .-Wres,, is is i ;;re o"-.i dired c.reacts vocally what is meant.

The .'vovsbi. winds the ingenuity of coarse! have thrown upon this ns-*:doR, is produced byreffening the words, /.-reíts by in* crere, f>■* i.V ”,7Crds, negroes and increase, menuc-ned iu 1,0, re-i re /í should be lesnembtsx’d, that the last aatecedct.t is in psit 5:0, imisi.JLtt.Sy precedes the sNailse words,pnjsts b?j ¿¡¡ctreec, Tkeru is no irele better established tfcsm this j than .ve/ic rclf¡<¿ adprexi¡m:m mtecedeTis refucení. if this míe be sp« .piled to the deed in queaskm, which seems to have beep, draw a with íjacom-rtoa accuracy, it will dispel all the áoübts which Lave ;• c-'-'r-' ?»k-d by referring the tosas to a remote «tna-ecdf o' ; ior then, a« rl:;?iiy -as can be spoken in our language, she vuit Le KHiirifd to profit", by increase of she negroes, and no one i.n.’ore cistcsii-.v -will he.found in the whole deed j and every feat of the d/'C'J, resort: the word, increase, is used or omtfmd, will be fresre jdcie’y reqNréored and accounted for.

As to icbt yiu-sEJon, whether she is barred of her distributive tihi-rv of tro property he acquire Í under this deed, it is to be ic-w'srl'ed, tl-xt «ontcpcts in prospect of marriage, ase of various .drees: sornas estilo specific property! others, covenam \a> yr •; money, or setde property or money. With respect to those; which settle property specifically, some of them are in bat* of the fis.'nr.a claims of the wife ; and some of them operate as a purchaser .her fortune and future acquisitions. Such as operate in bar f£ her future claim."-, have ‘¡hat quality, not merely because ire y see -re! dements of property in p* aspect of marriage 3 nor indeed río they derive any part of this quality from the consideration ti’ ¡-I they are seH-sments of property between tfee husband wtl vp’fi; 3 bu* solely and only from the consideras ion that tb" p&nb.s Lave nrer-rer! dtsy shall be in bar oi heir future cLiras» And such .■'tircemfut must be evidenced either by the express terms oft ¡e 4-'01 that they shall be in bar, and of what fmure ch-imc psr-i-f* wthiog will bs barred unless Included widon tfce *274í xtent of the terms made use of: For instance, dower will uot be bane<l by a inarrir.ge settlement, when it ixcraes by the death •-.f the husband, unless it be mentioned in the deed that the set-dement is to be its bar of her dourer, or unkss that meaning and raíeoí is to be fairly inferred from she terms nrw.de use of in the deed* In G. Do 2 yoL Chancery Dower, 3 E. it is laid down it em Equity Cases, 152, that a woman shall not be restrained fjo;a having her dower, v/hi-re the husband makes a setthment up- • « her in consideration cf die marriage portion, if it is not ex-¡ti • r.ed to be in bar oi dower, and it does not appear to be < i-ptwcly intended. If a settlement by him oi Ids estate, in coiuN der.ilU'.ii of her portion, will not bar her, how much less will she A; barred when he settles nothing of hia own upon h-r, and gets !?y the settlement, half of her estate? & Atkins,' 3. 2 Verano,' 3S5, E. Ca. 213, 219, support the pilnciple, that she is not barred cf her dower, unless by an agreement cleatly expressed, ov plainly to be implied from the deed. The same principle cp-plies with equal force, and is equally well supported in regard to hsr claims upon the personal estate- — her distributive share lor instance ; it is not barred by a settlement unless agreed to be so, and that agreement sufficiently expressed. In 3 Bro. Ch. C. 3G2, h lease-hold' estate was settled previous to marriage upon the wife, in recompense and bar oi dower ; and jar a provision fer the wife, the husband had no real estate ; and the question was, whether this was a bar to the wife’s claim of thuds; and L. Chancellor held it was not. Though mentioned to We for a prevision for the wife, yet not being expressed to be in lar of her thirds, the necessary agreement to render it a bar, did net appear. 2 Vernon, 725, 1 Aik. 439, 1 Vernon, 15, ‘ate to this came effect. Another circumstance very material in the píesete oase, is, that there is no case to shew that a settlement of the wife’s estate on her, or of part of her escale on her, has ever W-cut by construction, made to be a bar where there are not 'X-ptess words: 3 P« W. 199. P, Ch. S3. 2Vera. 53. 1 E. C. yO. There is no agreement expressed nor to be implied, from whet is expressed in the deed now before ns, for the purpose oi' hairing any claim of the wife, whatsoever: There is no s-ith thing hinted at i And if it be a true rule that she cannot be A'r-ted of her thirds, unless there be tin agreement for the puipcse, Ara we may conclude that she is not barred of bar third.-, a< moiety of his dying intestate.

Then the next question will be, can he be considered as a y utchaser of her fortune and future Requisitions, under ihb «Ned ? A man by making- settlement on his wife, may placa himself in a situation to be considered in equity, as a purchaser of her property ; — but the» in the first place he must male the purchase by a settlement on her, of his property, not her own.-*275SrcoatHy; It must be agreed that «<? shall be conshseml as a, purcliMc-rt Thirdly ; tnertt must be such words isseii ?3 ¡;■(.

As to tfce objection, that the hnobandV trust csitte i; not subject to the act oi limitations, a truot estate in personalties is as much subject to distribution on the death of the intestate o«n.~ 4-í, as a legal estate in personalties is; 2 Fonb. 15. 2 Aik. 2GG, 299. 1 Vernon, 204. 1 P. W. 109. 1 Vez. 23A

The ca-.es cited on the other side, belong to distinct classes 2 Some of them are cases where the husband has been ccmbdered as f. purchaser, by making an equivalent settlement. Such are í Fonb. 92. 2 Vernon, 53. 4 Vine;*, 40. Pre. Ch. 209, 33, 312. 3 F. W. 199. These respect his claim oi that which ivas her’s ; cot her claim as in the present case of that which was his ;' and are therefore inapplicable. Some are cures of satisfaction, where the question is, whether the wife’s share shall be a discharge cf that which was covenanted? Gush are 2 Vern. v"09. 1 P. V/. 324. 3 Aik. 419. 1 Vezey, 1. 2 Bro. C. Ch. 95, 394. Here it is contended that she is barred of her share ; not that it is a bar of any covenants he has made ; they are therefore equally map* ipiicable. Others again are cases of performance of covenants tor th-i payment of money to be made after the huab-su’s death, xnd which are deemed to bepestomed by a share of tq*r-’ value coming to the wife, ouch as Vezey, ¿20; but here they cc.mend that no share comes to her. Every case of purchase of her pet-t.on, s?.‘isiacflon or performance of covinamo most kc laid strict-} they are arranged 2 €. B. 2 IfL 10, 3 D. 2, The car.es r. Such oars be properly cited are those only which tend to | rove that a to; dement on the wife is of itself a bar of her claim to a d-isui-hutive share of her husband’s estate : And «-.very ceae of that class will be found to stand upon this priocipie — *thaí tbe wiie has agreed to accept of the settlement in bar oí her t-l>are; and that such agreement is expressed u. sufilcleniiy implied in ihü deed of settlement. — -A settlement alone well re the hush-iiidV. ertaté will not tar her.
