Syllabus

<p>Sale of Separate Property of Wife.—Under the Statute of 1862 concerning the separate property of the wife, the assent of the husband is required, not only to the sale by the wife of her separate property, but also to her conveyance of the same, and that assent must be expressed by his signature to the conveyance, made by himself, and he cannot, by a letter of attorney, delegate to another the power to subscribe his name-to such conveyance.</p> <p>Signing a Conveyance.—When there are two grantors, and one of them acts as the attorney in fact of the other, he must subscribe Ms name twice, once as attorney in fact for the other, and once for himself. One signature and a second seal is not equal to a second subscription.</p>
