1.

J.B. learner and teacher:
Marriage settlement
nine first topics, (time
of payment excepted,)
same here as in sale

2.

N.o 9. Wife's fortune not
mentioned.

S.B. has added a topic
for it.

No provision made
for the case where Wife's
fortune is in any other
shape or shapes than

3.

No.10. Pin money, two
fifths of her jointure.

4.

No.11. Year between
payment and payment.
Day of first payment
not mentioned.

Might it not be next
to wedding night.
Mortgagee's day of payment
half yearly, and
first day mentioned,
why not wife's?

5.

N.o12.13.13* Subject
to this and undermentioned
charges, the estate
remains to husband
for his life.

6.

N.o 14. Without impeachment

do.

III. Marriage Settlement.

7.

No. 4.5.6. Should or
should not Wife's parentage
be added? In
his Code, Art 22, he makes
absolute provisions for
her widowhood, without
noticing portion.

In Art 23, he gives power
for substituting settlement.

8.

Note. widowhood annual
provision (called
jointure) separate Life
provision (called Pin money)
at 5: to 2: to
of younger children's provision
as 1. to 10.

9.

No. Same silence as
to days of payment.

10.

No. Dower as inadequate
should be abolished for
an equivalent by Code.

11.

No. Note. younger children's
portion is charged
on the estate, is over and
above jointure.

12.

No. Said, by whom widow's
jointure and younger
children's provision,
is to be received; not by
whom paid. Of course by
the possession of the Estate.
But who if he fails?
Should not provision
be made for this in the
Code, and reference to it
in the instrument?
Should it not go to the
parties wronged? to the
widows or for their Children
to their Guardian?

III. Marriage Settlement

13.

No. Younger children
an expression in universal
use. By definition
in the Code, it's laxity
may be cured.

To avoid it, the runs
into involvedness See
Agenda.

14.

No. By more apt postponement
location,
these postponements
are spared J.B.

15.

No. After Father's
death, to whom the estates?
J.B. not certain whether
the deposition he
expresses is that meant
by H. Rare this case, of
a son marrying so early
as to have a child
or divers female children
before he is 21. True,
by it's rarity, need of providing
for it is not superseded.
But, to save
complication, might it
not be discouraged:
for example, by putting
him in that case, on the
footing of a younger child,
his children taking
amongst them the pretence
he would have in
that character? Eldest
son style First Eventual
successor to the Estate.

16.

No. Omitt in instrument,
insert in Code,
provision for unpleasant
occurrences.

1. Utter

2. Adultery of Wife.

3. Elopement of do.

4. Cruelty of husband.

5. Infancy of children.
