was good, and required by their several deeds, a safe and unin-
cumbered fee simple title.
The deed of the 32d of October, 1819, from Joshua Swan to
his daughter Emily Augusta, filed with the bill, as exhibit A,
after reciting a conveyance to said Joshua by one Amos Loney,
of a certain lot in Baltimore city, further recites, that "Whereas

tioned, did grant," &c., "unto the said Joshua Swan, his heirs,"

county, called" &c.., "containing 248 acres of land, more or
less." "Now, this indenture witnesseth, that the said Joshua

he hath for and beareth towards his daughter, the said. Emily
Augusta Swan, and in further consideration of free dollars,
lawful money paid," &c. and then conveys the land mentioned
in the premises to the said Emily her heirs and assigns forever.
The various deeds and judgments referred to in the bill and
anwers, were proved under the commission, and also the fol-
lowing single bill of Joshua Swan.
"I promise to pay on demand to Charles S. Sewell, or to
bis assigns, the full and just Sum of three hundred and eighty
dollars, for value received, as witness my hand and seal this
tenth day of August, 1816. JOSHUA SWAN. L. S.]"

in the opinion.]

ural love and affection, two parcels of land, situate and lying
in Baltimore county, one of which had been conveyed to the
grantor by Matthew Murray, sheriff of the county, on the 28th
