The conveyance having been made to such grandson, who, two days afterwards, conveyed it to G, who was not a descendant of testator, G took a good title, even if the deed to the grandson was intended merely as one of the links in the chain to carry title to G.</p> <p>3. Quere: Would a devise to “A for and during his natural life, and after his death to his issue for ever, which issue shall take per stirpes,” give to A a fee conditional, or would it give a life-estate ?</p>
