XXXVII.  Provided always, That if any married Woman shall have any
Estate settled upon her, by Jointure or other Settlement, before Marriage,
such Jointure or Settlement shall bar her of her Dower of her Husband's
Lands; yet it shall be lawful for her to accept what her Husband shall by his
Last Will and Testament devise her.

    XXXVIII.  And whereas, many Orphans have greatly suffered by the second
Marriages of such Widows, who having Estates in Possession by Will, or
Right of Administration, either by such Widows while Sole, or their Husbands
during the Coverture, the same have been waster and embezzled;
and if the Woman die, the said Husband refused to render an Account of
such Estate, alledging that he is neither Executor nor Administrator to his
Wife, nor of her former Husband; whereas, at Common law, a Woman
Couvert Executrix can do no Act to prejudice her Husband, all such Acts,
during the same, being void without his Consent; he, not preventing such
Waste, when in his Power, ought to answer for the same; Be it therefore
Enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, by and with the Advice and Consent aforesaid, 
That for every such Waste by such second Husband, during the Coverture,
such Husband shall account for the same, and be liable to be sued, together
with his Wife if living, or by himself if she be dead, (as well as the
Security) for the said Estate due to such Orphan, by such ORphan if at Age,
if under Age, by his Guardian; and also for all Waste committed by his Wife
before Marriage, or by himself afterwards.

    XXXIX.  And whereas, Orphans of persons dying Intestate, by the good
Provision of this Law, in committing them to the Care of the County Court, 
to inspect the good Condition of their Securities and good Usage a aforesaid,
are by Experience found to be in better Condition, in Respect of both, than/
the Orphans of Testators, whose Executors hitherto have rarely given any
Security, and that the Security they have give, many Times proves insolvent;
Be it therefore Enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, by and with the Advice
and Consent aforesaid, That the Judge for Probate of Wills, shall hereafter take
good and sufficient Security of all Executors and Administrators, to the Use
of any Orphan or Orphans in any Will mentioned, and not solely to their own
Use, for the true performance of such Last Will and Testament according to
Law, and the Intent of the Testator; and shall transmit an Account of the
Legacies, left to any Infant Orphans, to the County Courts, to be by them secured
in the same Manner as the Balances of Intestates Estates, so far as shall be
consonant to the Will of the Testator.  And the Justices of the several County
Court shall, at the same Time that they inquire by a Jury of the good
Usage and Condition of the Securities of other Orphans, also enquire of these:
And if they find the Security like to be insolvent, or the Orphans ill used, that
then it shall and may be lawful for such Justices, to act therein as they are by
this Law directed, in the Case of Intestates Estates:  Always Provided, That
nothing shall be done, by virtue of this Act, which shall seem repugnant
or contradictory to the Last Will or Testament of any Person deceased.

    XL.  And for the more speedy Administration of Justice to Orphans, Legatees
and Others, in the Prerogative Court for Probate of Wills, and granting
