protestation as aforesaid, is a formal, valid and sufficient conveyance regu-
larly executed, acknowledged and enrolled, that he has all the insurance
for his said property that the law can give, and the above particular Act of
Assembly can assure and that the said acknowledgments and private ex-
aminations taken in the veiy terms, very words and spirit of the said Act of
Assembly is and must by the said Act of Assembly be conclusive, and effec-
tually bar the complainant from having the relief prayed for m this Court,
as otherwise property would be rendered altogether vague and incertain if

framed could assure the same, or effectually bar, but be bubject to the re-
view and of being laid aside, and relief given against it in an inferior
Court and therefore, this defendant doth plead the above conveyances,

her to take the conveyances to the longest livers of her and her husband,
but that she declared the light should be absolute, and in his own person to
shew her regard and that Colonel Hall, at taking the acknowledgment, and
examining privately, advised her against it, and that he has been informed
by those who were present, that she quarielled with him thereupon, bid him
