MARKOE et ux. v. MAXCY et al.; HUGHES et ux. v. SAME, 16 F. Cas. 763

THE COURT (THRUSTON, Circuit Judge, absent) was of opinion that the wives had no power to convey but by last will and testament, or by an instrument in the nature of a last will and testament, as provided for in the deed of trust; and that the court could not enable them to do so.
