Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>.Deed — Delivery—Retention of Possession. Where the owner of real estate signed and acknowledged a deed, naming her foster daughter as grantee, and retained it in her own possession until her death, a delivery thereof did not result from the fact that some two years after its execution she handed it to the grantee, requesting her to read it, and received it back, saying that she desired to retain it so that she might occupy the property until her death; nor is the situation materially altered by the fact that she spoke of the deed as belonging to the grantee, and told other persons that she had deeded the property to her.</p>
