Jamaica, humbly beseech your Majelty that
it may be enacfted ; Be it therefore enadted,

trary notwithftandmg : —Provided always,
That in all cases wherein the right or property
of any woman under coverture is intended
to be conveyed, lhe (hall be examined separate
and apart from her husband, by the Judge
who attests the probate, and the said examina
tion shall be certified in like manner as is prac
