Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Deed — Delivery—Intention—Finding. On the question involved — Did the plaintiff herein deliver to the defendant a deed purporting to convey a tract of land with the intention that it should become effective as a present conveyance? — the trial court found that there was a delivery, and it is held that there is sufficient evidence to uphold the finding.</p> <p>2. SAME — Where there is a complete delivery of a deed by the grantor, the fact that the grantee subsequently handed the instrument back to the grantor with the request that she should try to obtain the signature of another person who had an interest in the land, did not defeat the delivery already made nor operate as a surrender of the title transferred.</p>
