Swan, 4 Mas. 443, Fed. Cas. No. 11,- 133; Gore v. Waters, 2 Bail. (S. C.) 477. The latter, when made without consideration, if bona fide, and the husband be not involved at the time, and it be not disproportionate to his means, taking his debts and 133. See Ante-Nuptial Contract; Settlement; Voluntary Conveyance. POST-OBIT (Lat.).
