PURDY VS. PURDY. 553 sequently, when the division was made, their authority was exhausted. But independent of this, the Act of 1822, ch. 162, in my judgment, even if the plot, with the memorandum in question, created the estate (which, however, it does not), would prevent the effect supposed.

A. B. HAGNER, for Complainant. MoLEAN, for Defendants. |
