The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
The affection which a husband, a father, a brother, or other near relative naturally feels towards those who are so nearly allied to him sometimes supplies the place of a valuable consideration in contracts, and natural affection is a good consideration in a deed. See "Bargain and Sale;" "Covenant to Stand Seised to Uses."
