Excerpt from Report of the Commissioners Appointed to Consider and Report Upon the Practicability and Expediency of Reducing to a Written and Systematic Code the Common Law of Massachusetts, or Any Part Thereof: Made to His Excellency the Governor, January, 1837

Besides the common law of England, there are to be found in Massachusetts some few local usages aand princi ples, which properly constitute a part of our common law, though unknown to that of England. One of the most striking instances of this sort is the capacity of a mar ried woman to dispose of her real property by a deed with the consent of her husband; whereas, by the com mon law of England, it can be done only by'a peculiar process called a fine or a common recovery.
