K., or any of them, their or any of their executors or administrators, shall not be in wise responsible or accountable for or in respect of any such omission or neglect, or for or in respect of the said subsisting policy, or any such new policies as aforesaid, being vitiated or rendered void through any means whatsoever (q). AND THIS INDENTURE ALSO WITNESSETH, Witnesseth, that, in pursuance of the said agreement in this behalf, each of them the said A. B. and C. D., doth hereby for himself and herself, and his and her heirs, executors, and administrators, covenant with the said E. F., G. H., and I. K., their executors and administrators, in manner following, (that is to say), THAT if the said C. D. now is, or if at any time [during the said intended coverture (r)] the said C. D., or the said A. B. in her right, shall become entitled by descent, transmission, claim, devise, bequest, gift, donation, representation, purchase, or otherwise, to any real or personal property, which shall amount or be equal in value to the sum of £- (s), for any estate or interest whatsoever, then and in such case the said A. B. and the said C. D., and each of them, their and each of their heirs, executors, and administrators, and all other necessary parties, shall and will, at the costs and charges of the said trust estate, from time to time, as soon as circumstances will admit, by good and effectual conveyances, assignments, and assurances, or other acts and deeds in the law,

(g) The language of this proviso is certainly very strong; but it would probably not extend to protect the trustees from any wilful neglect to keep up, or enforce keeping up, the policy, if called on so to do by the cestuis que trust; it only means that they are not, as they ought not to be, bound to look after the fate of the policy. The effect of such a clause is to leave it to the discretion of the husband, whether he will or will not keep it up; but if he do not keep it up, he or his assets will be bound to make good the loss to the settlement.

(r) If it be intended to bind, for the benefit of the children, property which may accrue to the wife after the determination of the coverture, say, instead of the words in brackets," after the solemnization of the said intended marriage."
