LEGAL DELIVERY OF DEED
Harriet May Trip VS.. Annie Nc
Curdy. Rescript. Cornish, G. j
l. The question of the legal de-
livery of a deed depends upon two
facts, the act done and the purpose
with which it is done. Manual trans
fer without intending to pass the
title. and the intent without con-
summation are equally futile
>. Delivery to third person for
the grantee without any reservation
by the grantor of right to recall
it is sufficient in law and effects q
complete transfer of the title to the
property.
3. Delivery to a third person may
be sufficient although no prior au-
thority had been given by the
grantee to receive the deed. when the
grantee subsequently assents: and as
the deed is for the benefit of the
graAtee such assent will be prima
presumed.
4. Whether or not delivery to a
third person is absolute and irrevo-
cable or qualified and revocab'e de-

Construction company. ct ais, sus-
tanning the bill with a single bill OF
costs and issuing a permanent in
junction against both defendants.
The rescript which was drawn by
Chief Justice Leslie c. Cornish OF
Augusta, is as follows:
Section 120 of Chapter 50 of the
Revised Statutes provides that no
person, association or corporation
shall carry on the business of ac-
cumulating and loaning or investing
the savings of it's members or OF
other persons in the manner of loan
and building associations or carry on
any business similar thereto within
:he State unless incorporated under
the laws thereof for such purpose.
In a bill in equity asking for an
Injunction brought by the bank CON-
IIllSStOlCI ocCtlOI 1-S against
a corporation incorporated in New
Hampshire but doing business in
this State without a license and also
against it's general agent, it is held
as follows:
1. That the principal object of q
loan and building association Is to
create a loan fund for the benefit Of
its borrowing members. the under
Wing idea being that by means of the
system of small periodical payments
people of limited means will be en-
abled to become the owners OF
homes, and thrift, economy and good
citizenship will thereby be created.

! purpose. it's mutually. membership
; payments and loans, the defendant
; corporation is carrying on business
: similar to that of a loan and build

. 3. In some minor details Of mech
! anism the company may differ some
! what from the ordinary loan and
building association, but in the es-
sentials it is carrying on similar if
! not the same business. 1t is effectirg

cumstances and from his subsequent
conduct.
5. Every word and act Of the
grantor. who has since died. are con-
sistent with an absolute and unQuali-
fed delivery in the case at bar.
6. The fact that the third party
was the attorney who drew the deed
and had previously drafted certain
wills for the grantor does not change
the situation. II the grantor desired
him to hold the deed for the use and
benefit of the grantee and to deliver
it to her as requested. there Is no

INDORsERs NOT HELD
John ingalls, VS.. Herbert L. Marston,
ct ais.
Rescript. Cornish. c. J. In an ac-
ton on a promisory note 1t Is held:
l. Prior to the enactment of the
Uniform Negotiable Instrument Act.
Public Laws 1917. Chapter 257. the
law was firmly settled in this State
by judicial decision that one who
signed his name on the back of a
note at its inception was joint or
joint and several maker with one
who signed the face. SO far as the
necessity for demand and notice of
non-payment was concerned. He was
not regarded as an indorser.
2. Under section 63 of the Eego-
table instrument Act however such
signer becomes an indorser unless he
indicated by appropriate words his
intention to be bound in some other
capacity. No such intention was in
dicated in the case at bar.
3. Whether one be an irregular
indorser under section Ga, or a regu-
lar indorser under &C, he is entitled
to have due demand made upon the
maker and due notice OF dishonor
given to himself.
A. No such demand was made or
notice given in this case. and the
ruling of the presiding Justice in
favor Of such indorsers was without
error.
Exceptions overruled.
