Making UK indigenous minerals matter
The importance of the UK's indigenous minerals should be seen and heard, particularly in the current economic climate, concluded delegates in interactive sessions at the Living with Minerals 3 conference, held in London, UK, on 3 November. Their concerns about the future of the industry are to be fed into a document that will be presented to UK Government representatives, with the intention of informing policy.
The event was part of an ongoing campaign by the Confederation of British Industry's (CBI) UK National Minerals Forum to highlight some of the difficulties facing the minerals industry in securing a licence to operate in the UK. It seeks an overarching statement of support from the Government about the importance of the industry to the UK economy and society.
Whether Government takes notice remains to be seen, but Nigel Jackson, Chair of the CBI Minerals Group, says, 'if we do not try, we will achieve nothing. We are lucky to have these resources'.
John Cridland, Director General of the CBI, adds, 'The economy depends on the healthy supply of energy and non-energy minerals. Our shortage could hinder our ability to recover from [the economic downturn]'. This is particularly in light of a squeeze from resource-rich developing countries who face their own growing demands for minerals for construction and energy.
The Forum, which comprises representatives from Government, county councils, industry and environmental organisations, explored four key areas from 2007/8 through its working groups. Its findings were put up for discussion at the conference, attended by a broad range of stakeholders, through electronic voting.
Working Group 1 – Declining minerals reserves and future security of supply
Chair Andrew Bloodworth, Head of Science for Minerals at the British Geological Society, explained how the UK needs to improve planning guidance to balance economic demand with environmental need, as well as develop transport and storage infrastructure. Linking up hard rock quarries through the railway network should be an option. The most popular solution for delegates was to establish a new National Minerals Authority, with public opposition to mineral development cited as the most serious threat to supply.
Comments from attendees include – 'The problem with the Regional Aggregate Working Parties is that they do not have political teeth.' 'We need to look at two levels of decision making with a national minerals authority for strategic decisions advising Government and at local level'.
Working Group 2 – Minerals extraction in national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty
Of the 2,100 active minerals works in the UK, 46% are in national parks (NPs). Ruth Chambers, Deputy Chief Executive of the Campaign for National Parks and a member of Working Group 2, explained that 'alternatives do need to be found', as supply from these parts and areas of outstanding natural beauty is likely to decline before 2042. Fifty-nine per cent of attendees agreed that the Government should actively encourageaggregate production outside these areas, with 72% proposing that recycled or secondary aggregates are the best alternatives.
However, there was a conflict of opinion. Points raised include – 'It's never too late to look at reworking aggregates in NPs. We need to look more closely at the alternatives and how sustainable they really are. And we must understand what the public reaction really is to quarrying in the parks.' 'I think minerals should be got where they can be got. Quarries in NPs are of beauty in their own right'. 'You need planning officers that have worked in industry.'
Working Group 3 – Carbon and proximity of mineral supply
The UK Government aims to raise the target of carbon emission reduction to 80% by 2050. Lester Hicks, Chair of the Working Group, explained that although the minerals industry's carbon contribution is relatively low, it 'needs to up its game to reduce emissions before the Government steps in' with mandatory requirements. An industry-led assessment was considered most favourable by delegates. Comments include – 'Many people buying minerals want to know the embodied carbon'. 'How can we achieve carbon reduction in transportation?'
Working Group 4 – Cumulative impact of policy, legislation and regulation
Simon van der Byl, Director General of the UK Quarry Products Association, explained that 89% of environmental legislation comes from Brussels. He said 'Minerals development spans several decades and will have to compete with several changes in policy, some of which might affect viability'. Forty-four per cent of attendees voted that the UK Government should ensure that EU legislation does not put the UK at a competitive disadvantage.

The World Health Organization estimates that up to half of all indoor environments have damp issues.
Then when you consider that dampness and humidity are the leading causes of mold in houses, you can then see why mold is such a common problem.
So, if you are about to buy a new home, how sure are you that it does not have a damp or mold issue?
Well, unless you get a home mold inspection, you cannot be confident that the house you are buying is not affected.
Still not convinced? Read these eight reasons why you should get a mold inspection to find out more.
As we've already said, up to half of all homes have damp. So the odds aren't great when it comes to finding a house that does not have even a small amount of dampness. All houses are susceptible to mold even if the damp problem was a while ago, it could still have left some residual mold.
A house does not even need to be old to be susceptible to mold. All it takes is a small leak from a pipe or a loose shingle on the roof that lets in rainwater, and you've got yourself a mold problem.
Also, the only way to tell whether your house does not have mold is to get an inspection. Ruling out mold is as useful as discovering a problem.
Another reason to get a professional home mold inspection is that it will not only find the mold but also its cause.
You might be wondering why that is important. Well, it is one thing if a plumbing leak was responsible for the mold. It's much more serious if it was a serious flood or a roof that needs replacing. It's a lot cheaper to fix a leaking pipe than replace a roof!
It is possible to treat and remove mold. However, depending on the severity of the problem, it can cost quite a lot of money.
Therefore, before you decide whether to continue with the purchase of a property, you should get a mold test. This will help you to work out your budget, or even whether you need to dismiss the property.
You might be wondering whether it's possible to conduct your own mold inspection. After all, mold can't be that hard to spot right?
Unfortunately, that's wrong. While some mold grows in visible places such as on walls and ceilings, it can also grow in areas that you cannot see.
A professional mold inspector will look for mold inside wall cavities and crawl spaces, as well as under floorboards. These are very difficult to access if you do not know what you are doing. Whereas a mold inspector will have lots of experience in finding hidden mold.
Finding out whether a house has mold is not only about money, but it could also affect your health.
Mold can trigger a number of health complaints including asthma, allergies and fungal infections. So if you do not have an inspection and there is mold, it could make your family ill.
The only way to be sure that you avoid mold-related illness is to conduct a thorough mold test before you buy. Some things are not worth taking a chance with, and your family's health is one.
As well as being a health risk, mold can also do a lot of damage to the fabric of the building and also your possessions.
Mold feeds on organic matter like paper, fabric, and wood. Mold is a living thing, and it actually eats away at these materials, which will cause them to disintegrate. So in your home, mold can destroy wallpaper, floorboards, drywall, and carpets.
Obviously, these drastic symptoms don't happen overnight. But if you have items in storage that you do not use often, mold can destroy them before you have noticed.
A less severe case of mold will also cause serious staining and discoloration of fabrics and furniture. It will also permeate soft furnishings with a fungal smell that is difficult to eradicate.
Real estate agents have one job: to sell houses. They are not interested in finding the problems with those houses, as that will make them harder to sell.
So when you see a property advertised as being in "excellent condition," you have to take that with a pinch of salt. In order to find out the true condition of the house you are purchasing, you have to commission your own checks.
So make sure you ask the real estate agent as many questions as you can about the property. But, unless you get a mold inspection before purchase, you will never be quite sure.
Buying a house is a big decision. It is usually the most expensive and stressful time of your life. So in order to have absolute peace of mind, you need to know everything there is to know about your new home. The last thing you want after you have moved in is any nasty surprises.
Mold is a serious problem. So while you are eager to get into your new home as soon as possible, you should take your time. Commission a home mold inspection and get the peace of mind you need.
So those are eight good reasons why you need a home mold inspection.
Mold removal is possible, but without a professional report on the extent of the problem, you don't know how much it will cost. An inspection will give you peace of mind, protect your possessions and your family's health. Not all mold is easy to spot, so hiring a professional is the only way to make sure your home is mold free.
If you are considering buying a property and want to know whether it has mold, schedule an inspection today.

Five years since her last album and Enya produces a new one with all of thirty-seven minutes of fresh material. It isn't exactly what you'd call an excess of productivity.
The delicate instrumental title track that opens A Day Without Rain promises much in that it's lead by a warm piano and features attractive widescreen strings. But what follows is immediately disappointing by comparison. 'Wild Child' is unimaginative and lightweight, and it's followed by the merrily plinking 'Only Time' which has a catchy enough melody but little else to capture the imagination.
Things pick up from here. 'Tempus Vernum' is a more meatily symphonic affair, perfect soundtrack music with ominous vocals that add welcome moments of genuine emotion.
The waltzing 'Flora's Secret' and 'One By One' both sound like singles in waiting, and 'Lazy Days' will immediately bring Paul Simon's 'Only Living Boy In New York' to the mind of anyone of the proper vintage.
'The First of Autumn' has synthesised cellos sawing away to no great effect, while 'Silver Inches' comes on more like an unfinished song than an unfinished symphony. After millions of album sales Enya had an opportunity here to move on, to find new challenges, and to explore new territories. Instead, what we get is more of what we got before. For devoted fans, doubtless it'll be enough. But for the rest of us, it's a missed opportunity.

Bank of the United States v. Lee, 38 U.S. 13 Pet. 107 107 (1839)
Bank of the United States v. Lee
38 U.S. (13 Pet.) 107
R.B.L., in 1809, then residing in Virginia, for a valuable consideration made a conveyance in trust for the benefit of his wife of certain personal property, and slaves, which deed was duly recorded according to the provisions of the act of the Legislature of Virginia. The property thus conveyed remained in the possession of the husband and wife while they resided in Virginia, and in 1814, R.B.L. removed to the District of Columbia with his wife and family and brought with him the slaves and property conveyed in trust for his wife. In 1817, R.B.L. borrowed a sum of money of the Bank of the United States on his promissory note, endorsed by one of the trustees named in the deed of trust
of 1809. At the time the loan was made, R.B.L. executed a deed of trust of eleven slaves, and among them were the slaves and the household furniture conveyed by the deed of 1809, to secure the bank for the amount of the loan. In 1827, R.B.L. died, entirely insolvent. During his residence in Washington, being in reduced circumstances, he sold some of the slaves, conveyed by the deed of 1809, for the support of his family, without objection by his wife or her trustees. In 1834, the debt to the bank being unpaid, a bill was filed against Mrs. E.L., the wife of R.B.L., and the trustees, in order to compel the surrender of the remaining slaves and the household furniture to the trustee for the bank for the sale of the same to satisfy the debt due to the bank. Held that the deed of 1809, vesting the property in Mrs. L.'s trustees, was effectual, according to the laws of Virginia, to protect the title thereto against the subsequent creditors or purchasers from R.B. Lee, and that the removal of R.B.L. and his wife into the District of Columbia with the property conveyed to the trustees for the use of Mrs. L. did not affect or impair the validity of the deed of trust.
A liberal construction should be given to the clause of the Virginia statute for the suppression of fraud. This is the well established rule in the construction of the statute of Elizabeth, which the first section of the Virginia statute substantially adopts.
If A sells or conveys his lands or slaves to B, and then produces to another his previous paper title and obtains credit on the goods or lands by pledging them for money loaned, he is guilty of fraud, and if the true owner stands by and does not make his title known, he will be bound to make good the contract on the principle that he who holds his peace when he ought to have spoken, shall not be heard now that he should be silent. He is deemed in equity a party to the fraud.
The appellant filed a bill in the circuit court stating that in 1817, Richard Bland Lee represented himself to be the owner of certain after-mentioned property then in his possession; that he applied to the bank for a loan of $6,000, and offered to convey the said property in trust to secure the repayment of said sum of money; that the loan was made, and a deed of trust executed and delivered on 11 June, 1817, to Richard Smith, as trustee; that the said Lee died in 1827, intestate and insolvent, leaving said debt unpaid; that no administration was taken on his estate; that his widow, Elizabeth Lee, the defendant, has taken possession of said property and withholds it from said trustee, alleging that it had been previously conveyed by her said husband in January, 1809, to trustees for her use.
The bill charges that the said deed of 9 January, 1809, if ever made, was a voluntary and fraudulent deed, and therefore void against the complainants, who are bona fide purchasers for a
Page 38 U. S. 108
valuable consideration without notice; that the considerations expressed in the said deed are false, or if true, insufficient to give it solidity; that at the date of the said deed, Richard Bland Lee was largely indebted, and incompetent at law to make the same; that if the said deed had every legal requisite, it was executed in Virginia, and never was recorded in Washington County, in the District of Columbia, to which place the said Lee and his wife removed, bringing with them the said property, or was other notice given to the public then of its existence; that E. J. Lee, the surviving trustee, in the deed of 9 January, 1809, and Mrs. Lee herself knew that the complainant had loaned the $6,000 to Richard Bland Lee upon his representations that he was the owner of the said property and that Richard Bland Lee had conveyed the same to Richard Smith to secure the payment of the said sum of money, and never communicated to the complainants or to Smith until several years after the death of Richard Bland Lee the existence of the deed of 9 January, 1809.
The bill prayed that the deed of 9 January may be produced, the execution thereof and the recitals therein fully proved, and that it may be declared fraudulent and void against the complainants.
Elizabeth Lee in her answer admits the loan and the execution of the deed to Richard Smith, but avers she was ignorant of its execution until long after it had been delivered, and never consented thereto; she denies any knowledge of the representations made by Richard Bland Lee respecting the ownership of said property when he applied for the loan.
She says that on 9 January, 1809, she and her husband, then living and having a long time before dwelt in Fairfax County, Virginia, and the property in the deed mentioned therein being in the said county, she agreed with her husband to relinquish her right of dower in certain lands in Spotsylvania County, Virginia in which her husband held five-eighths of eight thousand acres; also to convey her right in certain Fairfax land containing two thousand one hundred acres, her separate property, to trustees, to secure a debt of $10,034 28 due from her husband to Judge Washington, in consideration of which, and of her execution of the conveyances and relinquishment of her dower, her husband agreed to convey to E. J. Lee, William Maffit, and R. Coleman certain slaves, &c., of which those mentioned in the bill of complaint are part, for her use; that it was agreed that her said husband should be authorized to sell any part of the said property, with consent of a majority of the said trustees, provided he should convey to the said trustees other property to the full value of that sold. She avers that in execution of this agreement and in consideration of the deed of the slaves, &c., of 9 January, 1809, she executed the deed of the Spotsylvania land and relinquished her dower therein; that on 9 January, 1809, she conveyed the land in Fairfax to secure Judge Washington's debt, and on the same day
her husband, in fulfillment of his part of the agreement, made and executed the deed of 9 January, 1809, to E. J. Lee, Maffit, and Coleman, of the slaves, &c., which deed was duly proved and recorded in Fairfax County Court within eight months from its date, in which said county she still continued for some time to reside with her husband, and where she continued to hold the said property. The deeds are exhibited with the answer.
She declares the agreement to have been bona fide and without fraud, and claims to be the owner of said property. She admits her husband sold part of the property with the consent of her trustees, and other part under the pressure of great distress, without their consent after they removed to Washington; that her husband died in 1827; that they lived together until his death; and that her possession of the property, being domestic servants and household furniture, could not be separated from his, and was consistent with the deed.
The case is stated more at large in the opinion of the Court.
The circuit court decreed that the bill should be dismissed, and the complainants prosecuted this appeal.
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR
THE COUNTY OF WASHINGTON IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
MR. JUSTICE CATRON delivered the opinion of the Court.
The bill alleges as a principal ground of relief fraud in fact in the inception of the conveyance sought to be set aside; this being denied by the answers, it is incumbent that fraud in fact should be proved by the complainants, and which, they insist, is established by the proofs. As the pleadings and exhibits furnish almost the entire evidence, it becomes material to set them out to a considerable extent. And in extracting the facts from which it is supposed we are authorized to infer fraud, it must be done with reference to the bearing of the local and peculiar laws of Virginia on the transaction.
It appears that in 1817, Richard Bland Lee, the husband of Elizabeth Lee, the respondent, borrowed from the Bank of the United States, at their office of discount at Washington, $6,000 on his note at sixty days, renewable at the pleasure of the bank and endorsed by Ed. J. Lee and Walter Jones, and further to secure the repayment of the money executed a deed of trust for eleven slaves and sundry household goods valued at $7,200, to Richard Smith, the cashier of office of discount, with power to the trustee to sell in default of payment after giving thirty days' notice. The deed also pledged some outstanding claims, not necessary to be noticed as they proved to be of no material value. The debt not having been paid, after long indulgence, suit was brought and a recovery had against Richard Bland Lee and Walter Jones, one of the endorsers, but no part of the judgment has been satisfied.
In 1834, the president, directors, and company of the bank filed their bill against Edmund J. Lee, Elizabeth Lee, and Richard Smith, the
trustee, alleging that Richard Bland Lee died in 1827 intestate, that no one had administered on his estate, and that Elizabeth Lee had converted the slaves and household goods to her own use after the death of her husband; that she was executrix in her own wrong, and bound to pay the debt, but refused to do so, asserting the property pledged to pay the bank debt by her late husband had been conveyed by him as early as 1809 to Ed. J. Lee, William Maffit, and Richard Coleman in trust for the sole and separate use of the said Elizabeth; that she had exhibited the deed to the complainants, but which they aver was voluntary, fraudulent, and void as against them because they were purchasers for a valuable consideration without notice of such deed, as also creditors of Richard Bland Lee, the grantor. That the considerations set forth in the deed are not truly stated, but if truly stated they are wholly insufficient to give validity to the same. That Richard Bland Lee, at the date of the deed in 1809, was largely indebted and incompetent in law to make such deed for the benefit of his wife and family.
That if the deed was duly executed, and upon legal and adequate consideration when made, yet the same was executed in the Commonwealth of Virginia; that the trustees had never acted under it or taken possession of the property embraced in it, but had suffered Richard Bland Lee, the grantor, at all times and without interruption, from the date of the deed to the time of his death, to retain possession of the property and to use, enjoy, and dispose of the same, and held himself out to the world as the true and absolute owner, and especially that the trustees had permitted the granter to bring the slaves and furniture from Virginia to the District of Columbia and County of Washington about the year 1814, and there to continue his use and enjoyment of the same as if he were the absolute, entire, and unqualified owner thereof.
That the deed was never recorded in the County of Washington, nor notice given to the public or the complainants of its existence during the lifetime of Richard Bland Lee, nor for some years after his death, but he was permitted to obtain credit and contract debts upon the faith of his being the sole and absolute owner of the slaves and goods described in the deed, and permitted to sell and dispose of parts of the same without any assertion of right or title on the part of the trustees or said Elizabeth, and that Ed. J. Lee, the only surviving trustee, and the said Elizabeth knew that the complainants had made the loan of the $6,000 to Richard Bland Lee in the full faith that he was the real and unqualified owner of the property, and knew he had made and executed the deed of trust to Richard Smith, to secure the repayment of the money; yet they did not communicate to the complainants the existence of the deed made for the benefit of the said Elizabeth, during the lifetime of Richard Bland Lee, nor until several years after his death, nor did said Ed. J. Lee or Elizabeth intimate in any manner or give the complainants or their trustee reason to suspect that there was any defect in the title derived under the deed to Richard Smith, nor that Ed. J.
Lee or Elizabeth had any title or claim or pretended to have to the slaves and furniture.
The foregoing allegations present two aspects -- 1st, that the deed of 1809 was fraudulent and void in its inception, and 2d, that if valid in Virginia, it not having been recorded in the County of Washington, formerly a part of Maryland, and the continued possession of the property covered by it having remained with the grantor, both in Virginia and here, up to the time of his death, was such a fraud upon creditors of and purchasers from Richard Bland Lee as to destroy the effect of the conveyance.
The deed of 1809, amongst other things, sets forth that Richard Bland Lee owed Judge Washington $10,034.28; and, as a part of the consideration, Mrs. Lee had joined her husband in a mortgage to trustees for Judge Washington's use, pledging her separate estate to secure the debt. These specific facts the bill does not set forth; but, by way of interrogatory, asks the defendants to answer, whether the debt mentioned in said deed, as being due to Judge Washington, had ever been paid; by whom, and from what funds; and the respondents are required to produce the deed.
It also appears that the complainants commenced an action of replevin against Mrs. Lee for the slaves and household goods; and which was, by an agreement of the parties, suspended until the termination of this suit.
Ed. J. Lee answers that the deed of 1809 was executed by Richard Bland Lee to himself and others as trustees for Elizabeth Lee, the wife of said Richard Bland Lee; that it sets forth the true consideration for the same; that the respondent is the only surviving trustee; that he never did give notice to the complainants of the existence of the deed; but that he did not know, until shortly before Richard Bland Lee's death, that he had made the deed of trust to Richard Smith, and which never received respondent's assent. That he cannot state, from general recollection, how the debt due to Judge Washington was paid, but it is his impression it was paid either by stock in the Bank of Alexandria, which belonged to Elizabeth Lee, and was held in trust for her by her brother Zacheus Collins, deceased, or by a sale of part of the farm called Langley.
Elizabeth Lee answers that the loan of $6,000 was made by the bank as charged, but that she was ignorant of the execution of the deed of trust to Richard Smith to secure the repayment of the money until long after the deed had been delivered and the loan made; denies she ever assented thereto, or waived her rights to the slaves, or any part of the property purporting to have been conveyed by the deed. Admits the recovery of the judgment as alleged, and that Richard Bland Lee died in 1827, intestate and insolvent, and that no one has administered on his estate.
And, further answering, says that on 9 January in the year 1809, the said Richard B. Lee and this respondent, then dwelling and having for a long time before dwelt in the County of Fairfax, in the State of Virginia, and the slaves and other personal
property hereinafter mentioned, then being in the said county, she agreed with the said Richard to relinquish her right of dower in a certain tract of land in the County of Spotsylvania, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, on the Rappahannock River, containing eight thousand acres, more or less, of five undivided eighth parts, of which the said Richard Bland Lee was seized in fee simple, and to join the said Richard in a conveyance thereof to Ludwell Lee.
She also, on the same day, agreed to join her said husband in the execution of a deed of trust to Henry Smith Turner, Thomas Blackburn, and Bushrod Washington, Jr., conveying to them two tracts of land in the said County of Fairfax, one situated on the River Potomac, near the Little Falls thereof, containing sixteen hundred acres, more or less; the other being the estate on which the said Richard and this respondent then resided, containing five hundred and thirty acres, more or less, which tracts of land were then held in trust for this respondent, which last mentioned conveyance was to be made to the said Turner and others, in trust to secure the payment of the sum of ten thousand and thirty-four dollars and twenty-eight cents, due from the said Richard to the Honorable Bushrod Washington. And in consideration of the execution of the said conveyance by this respondent, and of her thereby relinquishing her dower in the said Spotsylvania lands, and her right to the said lands in Fairfax, the said Richard, on his part, agreed to convey to Edmund J. Lee, William Maffit, and Richard Coleman, all the household and kitchen furniture, carpeting, beds, bedsteads, bed furniture, plate, chinaware, glass, tables, chairs, table linen, carpets, sideboards, bureaus, wardrobes; and all kinds of furniture then in their said dwelling house and kitchen, estimated to be worth sixteen hundred dollars, and the following slaves, that is to say John, and his wife Alice, and their children Patty, Betty, Henry, Charles, Johnny, Margaret, Milly, and Frank; Ludwell, and his wife Nancy, and their children Caroline, Harriet, Frederick, Ludwell, and Barbara; Henny and her child Eleanor; Rachel and her child Rachel; two sisters, Kitty and Letty, and their brothers, Alexander and Alfred; George (a blacksmith), Harry (a carpenter), Harry (a wagoner), Tom (a carter), Thornton (a cook), Samuel (a smith), and John (a ploughboy), to be held by the said E. J. Lee, William Maffit, and Richard Coleman, and the survivors and survivor of them, and the executors and administrators of such survivor in trust for the use of this respondent during her life, and after her death to pass to her heirs at law, provided she died intestate, or to such persons as she might bequeath the same to by her last will and testament, so as she should make the same pass fully and completely, and without limitation or condition, to her heirs or legatees. It was further agreed by the said Richard and this respondent that the said Richard should be authorized at any time during his life to sell or otherwise dispose of any part of the said slaves and furniture, with the consent of a majority of the said trustees or of the survivors or survivor of them or of the executors or administrators of the last
survivor, provided the said Richard should convey to the said trustees or to the survivors or survivor or the executors or administrators of the last survivor other property, real or personal, to the full value of the said furniture or slaves so sold or disposed of. And it was further agreed that if the said Richard should fully pay the said debt to the Honorable Bushrod Washington, without selling any part of the lands to be conveyed to the said Henry S. Turner and others, in trust, as aforesaid, and then held in trust for the said Elizabeth, then that the conveyance to be made as aforesaid, to the said E. J. Lee, William Maffit, and Richard Coleman should become null and void, as to the slaves Ludwell, Thornton, Henry, Butler, Tom, Samuel, Jack, and Eleanor.
And the said Elizabeth avers that in execution of the said agreement, and in consideration of the conveyance by the terms thereof to be made to the said E. J. Lee, William Maffit, and Richard Coleman, for her use, in manner and on the terms aforesaid, she did, on 16 July, 1809, in due form of law, with the said R. B. Lee, execute and deliver to the said Ludwell, a conveyance in fee of the said lands in Spotsylvania, thereby relinquishing her claim of dower therein, and did, with the said Richard, in due form of law, on 9 January, 1809, execute and deliver to the said Henry S. Turner, Thomas Blackburn, and Bushrod Washington, Jr., a deed for the said lands in Fairfax County whereby she conveyed her right to the said lands last mentioned to the said Turner and others in trust to secure the payment of the said debt, due from the said Richard B. Lee to the Honorable Burshrod Washington in the manner provided by the said agreement. And that the said Richard did, on the same day, in execution of the said agreement on his part, execute and deliver to the said E. J. Lee, William Maffit, and Richard Coleman a conveyance whereby he transferred and conveyed to them the said slaves and furniture before mentioned, to be held in trust for this respondent, in the manner and on the terms before stated, which said deed was duly proved and recorded, within eight months from the date thereof, in the County Court of the County of Fairfax, in which the said Richard and this respondent continued still to reside, and in which the said slaves and furniture still remained. And this defendant herewith exhibits the said three deeds severally, marked, Exhibits, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. This respondent avers that the said agreement before mentioned, was made between the said Richard and her, and the said deeds executed in pursuance thereof, fairly and bona fide, without any intention to defeat, defraud, hinder, or delay any creditor of the said Richard. She is advised and insists that they were duly proved and recorded, according to the laws of the State of Virginia, and that, under the same, she is a bona fide purchaser of the said slaves and furniture, according to the terms of the said deed to E. J. Lee and others, and that the said deed fully protects her in the right to the said property conveyed, according to the terms thereof, against all creditors of the said Richard, and all purchasers
subsequently to the date thereof. And this respondent has before herewith exhibited, as part of her answer to said deed with the certificate of proof and record thereof, by the clerk of the County Court of Fairfax County, marked Exhibit No. 3.
This respondent admits that no sale of the Fairfax lands was made under the said deed to Henry S. Turner and others; she therefore, makes no claim to the slaves, Ludwell, Thornton, Henry, Butler, Tom, Samuel, Jack, and Eleanor; that none of the said last mentioned slaves are in her possession or subject to her control, nor were they so when the complainants issued out their writ of replevin in their bill mentioned or at the time they instituted this suit.
In this case it is agreed that the following facts be and they are hereby admitted as true, reserving all objections to the admissibility of the facts as competent testimony in the case, viz., that Richard Bland Lee and his wife Elizabeth, one of the defendants, resided at Fairfax County, in the State of Virginia, on 9 January in the year 1809, and said Richard B. Lee then held the negroes and other personal property, mentioned in the deed of that date, from said Richard B. Lee, to Lee, Maffit, and Coleman, filed with defendant Elizabeth's answer, and marked Exhibit No. 3.
That the said R. B. Lee and his wife Elizabeth were housekeepers and resided together in Fairfax County at the date aforesaid, that the said negroes and other personal property continued in their possession after the deed of the 9th January, 1809, had been made, in like manner as such possession had been held before said deed was made, and so continued until they removed to Washington City, in the year 1814 or 1815, when they brought said negroes and other property from Fairfax County with them to the City of Washington. That from the period of said removal to Washington, said personal property, as distinguished from the negroes, was assessed by the officers of the corporation as the property of the said Richard B. Lee.
That four of the said negroes were, for the first time, in the year 1818, assessed to said Richard B. Lee. That prior to the 9th day of January in the year 1809, the said Richard B. Lee was seized in fee of five undivided eighth parts of 8,000 acres of land in Spotsylvania County, in the State of Virginia, which was conveyed by said Richard B. Lee and said Elizabeth his wife, to Ludwell Lee in fee simple.
The execution, due acknowledgment, and recording of the deed and bills of sale, exhibited with the defendant Elizabeth Lee's answer, is admitted.
The execution and service of the notices exhibited with the answer of the defendant, Edmund J. Lee, is admitted.
It is admitted that the deed of 9 January, 1809, was delivered to the trustees therein named, and that they agreed to act, but never took possession of the property therein mentioned, or of any part of it.
It is also agreed that the deeds referred to in E. J. Lee's, Elizabeth
Lee's, and Richard Smith's answers severally were duly executed, acknowledged, and recorded, and are to be received and treated as parts of the record in this case.
On these pleadings, exhibits, and admissions, various positions are assumed as grounds of relief.
The deed of January 9, 1809, recites that Mrs. Lee had executed a deed to Ludwell Lee relinquishing her right of dower to the 5000 acres of land in Spotsylvania, whereas the deed to Ludwell Lee relinquishing the dower interest bears date subsequently, in July, 1809.
It is insisted for complainants that the recital was false and that this part of the consideration had must be rejected. We do not think so. The transaction is of nearly thirty years' standing, and not so open to explanation as a more recent one; it may be that a deed had been executed by Mrs. Lee, as recited, to Ludwell Lee, and that it was afterwards superseded by another; be this as it may, Richard Bland Lee was estopped by the recital in his own deed, and Mrs. Lee's trustees bound to performance on her part, supposing the recital to have been untrue. The substance of the contract was that she should relinquish her dower interest to Ludwell Lee, and she did relinquish it, obviously in compliance with the agreement; and that it was done in July, instead of the preceding January, is an immaterial circumstance. The husband's alienee acquired the disencumbered estate in consideration of the deed sought to be impeached, and in a court of equity cannot deprive the wife of the slaves without doing equity to her by restoring the lands now beyond our reach; provided the transaction was bona fide.
The other part of the consideration was the deed of trust (of January 9, 1809) by which the Fairfax estates of Sully and Langley were pledged for the payment of the debt due to Judge Washington. These estates were the separate and sole property of Mrs. Lee, and not being subject to execution by the laws of Virginia, the creditor had not the slightest claim upon them, and it would have been most unwise for Mrs. Lee to have onerated them without ample indemnity.
Judging of the probabilities in 1809, from future results, between that time and the death of Richard Bland Lee, in 1827, and we are inclined to conclude that Mrs. Lee, with the ardor common to her sex, mistook her true interest in making the exchange of her lands for the slaves and household goods; that she has been greatly the sufferer is free from doubt. The Virginia estates have passed into other hands to satisfy her husband's creditors; most of the slaves have been sold to supply his improvidence and necessities, and the little that is left of the property secured to Mrs. Lee (down to the humblest utensil) is now sought to be appropriated to the satisfaction of the judgment on which the bill is founded.
That the deed of trust to Henry S. Turner and others to secure Judge Washington's debt was executed in good faith is not controverted;
the objection is that the debt was paid by means independent of the lands mortgaged, and the mortgage discharged. The consideration, therefore, given by Mrs. Lee for the slaves and other property secured to her separate use is fully proved, and was ample when the contract was made, and this is all that rested upon the respondents to establish to resist the claim of the complainants on the first aspect of the bill -- that which alleges the deed to have been fraudulent in its inception.
But an after circumstance is invoked as furnishing evidence favorable to the complainants. In the interrogating part of the bill, the respondents are required to answer whether the debt mentioned in the deed of 1809 as due to Judge Washington had ever been paid, by whom, and from what funds? Edmund J. Lee responds that he had no distinct recollection on the subject; Mrs. Lee admits that no sale of the Fairfax lands was made under the deed to Henry S. Turner, and others, but that the eight slaves, who in such event were to be returned to her husband, had been disposed of by him, &c. If Mrs. Lee meant to say that the trustees had not sold by virtue of the deed of trust for Judge Washington's benefit, then she answered truly; if, however, she is to be understood as answering that the estates pledged were not applied in part to the extinguishment of the debt, then she was mistaken. Sully, the homestead, was sold to Francis Lightfoot Lee, in February 1811, for eighteen thousand dollars, embracing the five hundred acres which was Mrs. Lee's individual property, and including two hundred and seventeen acres in addition, out of which sum Judge Washington was paid seven thousand four hundred and fifty dollars. The estate was not conveyed by the trustees, but by Richard Bland Lee, the respondent Elizabeth, and Bushrod Washington, with covenants of title and warranty. The conveyance upon its face recites in the fullest manner that seven thousand four hundred and fifty dollars of the purchase money had been paid by Francis Lightfoot Lee to Judge Washington in discharge of the balance of debt due to him. There can be little doubt Mrs. Lee, in her answer, was mistaken in admitting to her prejudice that the Fairfax lands had not been appropriated to the payment of Judge Washington's debt. Her principal object seems to have been to disavow all claim of title to the eight slaves.
Suppose, however, that Judge Washington's debt had been paid by other means, and the Fairfax lands disencumbered of it; could the fact influence this cause. That it could not is manifest. The complainants, by their bill, do not seek to come in under the deed to Turner and others; nor under that to Edmund J. Lee and others; if they had and if the fact had been established that Mrs. Lee, by the payment of the debts from independent means, retained her lands and the slaves also, then a court of equity would treat her as a trustee for Richard Bland Lee, and let in the complainants as his assignees, to subject the slaves, &c., to the payment of the bank debt. But the bill charges that the deed to Edmund J. Lee
and others was fraudulent and void in its inception, presenting no case founded on the subsequent transaction alluded to, and the Court cannot notice it other than as evidence to fix the fraud on the respondents in executing the deed sought to be set aside, which if valid then, must be deemed so now. The capacity of the husband to contract through the intervention of trustees with the wife and to make a valid conveyance, founded on a bona fide consideration paid out of the wife's separate estate, has not been questioned, nor is the doctrine open to controversy.
That a liberal construction should be given to the clause in the Virginia statute for the suppression of fraud we admit; this is the well established rule in construing the statutes of Elizabeth, which the first section of the Virginia statute substantially adopts. Heydon's Case, 3 Rep. 1 Black.Com. 88. Fitzhugh v. Anderson, 2 Hen. & Munford 304.
On the second ground on which relief is sought, it is insisted, the complainants are entitled to have satisfaction out of the property claimed by Mrs. Lee.
"I. Because the continued possession, use, and enjoyment by said Richard Bland Lee of the said property, purported to be conveyed by the deed of 9 January, 1809, was evidence of a continued ownership, and avoids said deed as against subsequent bona fide purchasers and creditors, without notice."
"II. That said deed, so executed, in Virginia, will not validate the possession, use, and enjoyment of said property in the City of Washington."
The investigation of this assumed ground of relief involves considerations affecting the nuptial relation.
We are asked to deal with the conduct of a wife, living in harmony with her husband, as if she was a third person, and to decree against her because she did not expose her husband to the community in which they lived, and especially to the complainants, when within the wife's knowledge he was holding out her property as his own, and using of it as his own, and obtaining credit upon the faith that he was the true and absolute owner.
That Richard Bland Lee did deal with and use the property in controversy as if it had been his own whilst he resided in this city, and that the community did believe him the true owner, and give him credit on the faith of the property, is no doubt true, and it is very probable that Mrs. Lee knew the fact, but continued passive and silent on the subject. She denies, however, that she had any knowledge of the execution of the deed of trust to Richard Smith until long after it had been made, and the answer, being responsive to the allegations in the bill, is conclusive of the fact denied, there being no proof to the contrary.
Was it a duty incumbent on Mrs. Lee to advertise the community in which she lived that her husband had no title to the property on the faith of which he was obtaining credit, but that it was hers? This would have been charging the husband with fraudulent conduct,
for it cannot be denied that if A sells and conveys his slaves or lands and then produces to another his previous paper title and obtains credit upon the goods or lands by pledging them for money loaned, he is guilty of a fraud, and if the true owner stands by and does not make his title known, he will be bound to make good the contract on the principle that he who holds his peace when he ought to have spoken shall not be heard now that he should be silent. He is deemed in equity a party to the fraud. How far the principle applies in a case of the wife of a fraudulent vendor standing by we are not called on to decide, and wish to be understood as not deciding. Mrs. Lee's is not that case; to say the most, she was only passive and silent in regard to her rights generally, although she may have had knowledge that Mr. Lee was obtaining credit on the faith of her property, and the question is was it her duty to have acted otherwise? All we need say is that a court of chancery cannot hold Mrs. Lee responsible because of her silence
Then as to the question of possession continuing with the grantor. Leave the relation of man and wife between Richard Bland Lee and Elizabeth Lee out of view and it would be impossible that anyone could have been misled by Mrs. Lee's having the possession, she having the sole and exclusive beneficial interest and right of possession. The difficulty arises from a circumstance the existence of which the statutes of Virginia contemplated and provided for. By the act of 1785, it is declared that where any reservation or limitation shall be made of a use, or property, by way of condition, reversion, remainder, or otherwise in goods and chattels the possession whereof shall remain in another, the same shall be taken, as to creditors and purchasers of the persons remaining in possession, to be fraudulent within the first section of the act, and that the absolute property is with the possession unless such reservation or limitation of a use, or property is declared by will or by deed, proved by two witnesses in the general court, or the court of the county wherein one of the parties lives, within eight months after the execution thereof.
The statute of Virginia has been adopted in Tennessee, where it has been holden that a deed like the present, founded on a good consideration, and separating the title from the possession, was within the statute and must be recorded, but when recorded, creditors and purchasers of him who retains the possession must take notice of it, and that the recording exempts the property from liability to execution. Crenshaw v. Anthony, Martin & Yerger 110. The great object of the act was to secure the settlement of slaves by the intervention of executors, and trustees, so as to retain them in the family, and this could be done by a bona fide gift of a husband (not materially indebted at the time) to a wife or children; if the deed was duly recorded, to the exclusion not only of subsequent creditors, but subsequent purchasers also, contrary to the 27th of Elizabeth, whereby (in the language of the Supreme Court of Tennessee in Marshall v. Booker, 1 Yerger 15) "an extravagant,
spendthrift husband may provide for his wife and children before they are overtaken by ruin." But we can say with Lord Hardwicke, in Russell and Hayward against Hammond, 1 Atk., "that we have hardly known one case, where a person conveying was deeply indebted at the time of such gift, that it has not been deemed fraudulent." In Virginia, therefore, the possession of Mrs. Lee was in accordance with the established practice, and is in no degree subject to imputation.
It is insisted, however, that when Richard Bland Lee removed into Washington City, the statute of Maryland operated on the Virginia title of Mrs. Lee, and defeated it for the benefit of purchasers from her husband.
The statute declares that no goods or chattels whereof the vendor shall remain in possession shall pass, alter, or change, or any property thereof be transferred to any purchaser, &c., unless the same be by writing, and acknowledged before one provincial justice or one justice of the county where such seller shall reside, and be within twenty days recorded in the records of the same county. 1729, ch. 8. sec. 5.
The statute has no reference to a case where the title has been vested by the laws of another state, but operates only on sales, mortgages, and gifts made in Maryland. The writing is to be recorded in the same county where the seller shall reside when it is executed. The seller, Richard Bland Lee, residing in Virginia, it was impossible for Mrs. Lee to comply with the act. That the Virginia deed secured to Mrs. Lee the same rights here that it did in Virginia we apprehend to be to some extent an adjudged question. It has frequently arisen in the state courts. The case of Smith v. Burch, 3 Harris & Johnson, was this:
In 1804, Brodhag owed Jones, and gave a deed of trust on slaves to secure the debt (three thousand dollars), executed to Smith as trustee. The parties resided in Georgetown, where the act of Maryland of 1729, continued in force after this District was separated from Maryland. The deed of trust was duly proved and recorded in the District of Columbia, Brodhag retaining the possession of the slaves. In 1805, Brodhag removed to Alleghany County, Maryland, and continued in possession of the slaves as apparent owner until August, 1809, when the Sheriff of Alleghany seized on them by virtue of an execution against Brodhag in favor of Deakin's executors, and Smith, the trustee, sued Bruce, the sheriff, in trespass. In that case (as in this), Brodhag had given in the slaves to the assessor of taxes, and had sold part of them between 1804 and 1809.
The Court of Appeals of Maryland in substance held that the act of 1729 did not affect the case, and the only proof required to sustain the plaintiff's title was the bill of sale (as it is denominated), and that it lay on the defendant to prove fraud in fact in order to avoid it.
In 1804, the jurisdictions exercised in the District of Columbia and the State of Maryland were as distinct as those of Virginia and the
District, so that the case of Burch v. Smith was similar in respect to conflict of jurisdiction with the one before the Court.
The same point came up in Tennessee, and met the decision of the supreme court of that state.
The following are the material facts in the Tennessee case:
In 1812, in Lunenberg County, Virginia, Daniel Crenshaw sold and conveyed certain slaves to Richard Herring, who soon after contracted for the purchase of a tract of land from Daniel Crenshaw, lying in the same county; but Nancy Crenshaw, the wife of Daniel, refused to relinquish her right of dower, and to induce her to do so, Herring agreed with her and her son, Cornelius Crenshaw, to convey to the latter in trust for his mother and for her separate use two of the slaves previously purchased from Daniel Crenshaw. The deed was duly executed and recorded in Lunenburg.
In 1814, Daniel Crenshaw and his wife removed to Tennessee, carrying the slaves with them, Cornelius the trustee continuing to reside in Virginia.
In Tennessee, to all appearance, Daniel Crenshaw was the true owner of the slaves, and acquired credit on the faith of the property. He was improvident, for which reason, manifestly, the wife caused the slaves to be secured to herself, and it may be remarked that similar motives have led to many, not to say most of this description of conveyances in the states where the provisions of the act of 1785 of Virginia prevail.
In 1821, Stacy recovered a judgment against Daniel Crenshaw in the county of his residence in Tennessee by virtue of an execution, founded on which Anthony, the sheriff, seized upon the slaves, and Cornelius Crenshaw, as his mother's trustee, sued the sheriff in detinue. The circuit court held the deed of trust void by force of the statute of Tennessee (which is very nearly a transcript of that of Virginia), because the deed had not been recorded in Tennessee; a verdict was rendered for the defendant, and the plaintiff prosecuted his writ of error to the supreme court, where the judgment was reversed.
The court held that the deed made in Virginia, separating the title and possession, was of a character to be operated upon by the act of 1785 of Virginia, and had the deed not been recorded there, as to creditors and purchasers, the title would have been deemed to be with the possession; but having been recorded there, a title fair and unimpeachable, vested in the trustee, and cestui que trust, Nancy, that being valid in Virginia, the statute of Tennessee could not affect it. Furthermore:
The court refused to hold the wife responsible because she had continued passive and silent in regard to her separate right to the slaves, by which individuals might have been, and in all probability were, induced to believe her husband the true owner and to give him credit on the faith of the property. In that case, as in this, the wife had done no affirmative act designedly to draw in the creditor to trust her husband, and the court believed, by remaining silent
she had violated no duty nor been guilty of any deceit on which a forfeiture of her right could be pronounced.
The deed in controversy is also embraced by the 4th section of the statute of Virginia, which, amongst other things, provides for the recording of all deeds of trust and mortgages, upon acknowledgment or proof according to the directions of the act, it having been holden by the courts of Virginia and this Court, 3 Hen. & Mun. 232; 3 Cranch 150 [argument of counsel -- omitted], that deeds conveying chattels are included within the section referred to. And the deed vesting the property in Mrs. Lee's trustees, having been duly recorded in the manner required by the statute, it was effectual according to the laws of Virginia to protect the title against subsequent creditors of, or purchasers from, Richard Bland Lee.
Upon the whole, we are of opinion the decree below dismissing the bill, should be
MR. JUSTICE BALDWIN dissented.
MR. JUSTICE THOMPSON did not sit in this cause.
This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of the record from the Circuit Court of the United States, for the District of Columbia holden in and for the County of Washington, and was argued by counsel. In consideration whereof it is decreed and ordered by this Court that the decree of the said circuit court in this cause be and the same is hereby affirmed with costs.

Joseph Maximus Browne, MyGuard app creator, has his feet planted in two cultures – the fast-paced American lifestyle of New York City where he lives now, and the Caribbean island homeland of his father, where he grew up.
By the age of twelve, Joseph had already visited every parish, district and community in Grenada including the islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique under the "Meet the People Tour" programs. There he witnessed first hand how good families struggled to cope with the costs of living and needed a helping hand.
His father was employed by the Grenadian government as a movie projector technician and public address system technician, and he was fortunate enough to also have been employed by the "Government Broadcasting Unit" to perform the same duties as his father. Joseph appreciated working side by side with his father and learning from him. Joseph also experienced the legal side of life where he was a witness to a crime and had to appear in court. From those formative years, he developed a strong sense of taking the initiative, being a team player and knowing that the rewards of hard work and determination puts one 'ahead of the game.'
Joseph completed his education in the USA. Within three months of his enrollment in school, he was promoted from 7th to 9th grade. After high school, he studied Electrical Engineering for about a year, and during that time he learned something that would change his life – electrical engineering was NOT for him!
Instead, Joseph traveled to broaden my horizons even further. As he listened to the people he met, he felt compelled to help them find solutions to the problems they faced. During this time, he discovered that he excelled at not only creating but also actualizing innovative ideas that helped people lead better lives.
Joseph kicked off his first business venture in 1982, and later invented a product called Maximus System/2 in 1995. That same year he competed in a show called Inpex (recognized worldwide) and won Best Innovation in Safety/Security. The following year Joseph was invited to Hungary for the 100th year anniversary for Inventors of Hungary. Two years later he invented another product called Easy to Reach and had a patent pending.
His next innovation was Koowi, which began as a small, home-based business and has grown into a far-reaching service company. Joseph coined the word Koowi, which means quick, by combining parts of two words. The name is now patented and trademarked, and although Koowi was originally associated with heating, the company has diversified.
Since childhood, Joseph Maximus Browne has always been passionate about assisting people, and this desire has been his driving force to be successful in helping people live the life they want and deserve to lead.

Patients in 89148 area wonder, "How can a dentist restore my smile with implants?"
When you're young, losing a tooth is an exciting adventure. You get a visit from the tooth fairy and a few shiny quarters along with the promise of a permanent adult tooth in its place. Unfortunately, those adult teeth are not always permanent. Teeth can be lost to decay due to poor brushing habits, disease, and even trauma such as sports injuries. Losing a tooth happens to many adults in the 89148 area; it does not have to be an embarrassing event. With dental implants from your dentist, Dr. Lim at Hillside Smiles, you don't have to live with that gap in your smile.
If you have a tooth or several teeth missing, it can affect your self-esteem and cause you to hide your smile from the rest of the world. Dr. Lim believes that every patient deserves the smile they've always dreamed about.
One option that many of the patients at Hillside Smiles turn to is dental implants. Dental implants are composed of titanium rods that are inserted into the jawbone. Once the rod is implanted, the mouth goes through a process called osseointegration. During this process, the jawbone fuses to the dental implants and it becomes a stable and long-term fixture in your mouth. A dental crown is fabricated and placed on top of the implant to restore a natural appearance to the mouth.
Dental implants are advantageous for patients for a variety of reasons. Replacing a tooth with implants not only restores the appearance of your smile, but also restores functionality to the mouth. This allows you to eat properly, speak clearly, and it prevents teeth from shifting. Implants are also as durable and natural looking as your existing teeth. No one will ever know that you have replacement teeth!
The dental implant process does involve several visits to the dentist office, but unlike other procedures, it requires little to no reshaping of existing teeth. The ability to leave surrounding teeth intact ensures that your mouth and remaining teeth will stay healthy.
Once completed, dental implants require no special care. Regular brushing and flossing will help keep your implants and other teeth free from plaque. Avoid habits such as clenching your teeth or biting and chewing on hard objects. It is also important to maintain twice-yearly visits with Dr. Lim. With proper oral hygiene and routine dental care, your implants should last for many years.
