Hugh Davey et ux. v. Peter Turner- Sept 1764

These Deeds, and this mode of examination of Femes Covert on conveying there Estates, having generally prevailed in this Province, from its first settlement, and undergone from time to time the notice of the Courts of Justice, it would be very mischievous now to overturn them. The maxim Communis Error facit Jus cannot operate more properly than in this Case, and the Court unanimously adjudge the Law to be with the Defendant.
