It being objected against an act of Court, bearing a wife's judicial ratification, that it was not subscribed by her the party; answered, By act 83d, Parliament 1481, the act of Court subscribed by the proper officer is a legal proof of the fact. Answered, The intention of that act is not to fix what shall be understood a legal proof of a wife's judicial ratification, but that a judicial ratification shall be effectual in law to bar any challenge upon the head of force or fear. The Lords sustained the objection, and found the act not probative.
