[Note. It is believed that deeds framed in this form are much safer in cases where a father is making a conveyance to a son, for the sake of support in old age, than the modes usually adopted. The usual mode of lodging deeds is hazardous to the last degree; as it leaves the essential part of the contract not in writing, but to the uncertainty of memory; and when disputes arise, the witness may be dead, moved to a distant part of the country, or interested to defeat the just claims of one or the other parties.]
