REMARKS. -—-A Deed is a writing sealed and delivered, to testify the agree
ment of the parties, to the thing contalned m the deed.

'VA“ writings sealed and dehyered, .1 , in law, deeds ; but 111 common accep-
tation, a deed IS a conveyance of lands,” and under this head, therefore, will be
given the conveyances in ordinary use, ‘

 

  
   

.1

                       

 

“The first requisite of a deed is, that there be persons able to contract, and
be contracted with for the purposes intended by the deed; and also a thing, or
subject matter to be contraCted for , all which must be expressed by sufficient
names. So as in every grant there must be a grantor and grantee, and a thing
granted; in every lease, a lessor, a lessee, and a thing demised

Secondly, the matter written must be legally and orderly set forth , that 15,
there must be words sufficient to specify the agreement, and bind the parties .
which snfiimency must be left to the Courts of Law to determine.

Dhlrdly, '1 he next requisite for making a good deed, is the reading of it. —
This 15 necessary, Wherever any of the parties desire it; and if it be not done Ci
on his request the deed 1s void as to him. If he can, he should read It himself:
if he be blind or illiterate, another must read it to him. If it be read falsely, it
will be vmd at least for so much as is misrecited: unless It be agreed by col-
lusion, that the deed shall be read false on purpose to make it void—for 111 such ~ '
cases it shall bind the fraudulent party iy‘f ~1 1

A f. rth requisite to a good deed 15, that It be deliveied by the party himself,
or his certain attorney: which therefore 15 also expressed in the attestation,
f‘sealed and delivered.” A deed takes effect only from this tradition or de~
 

          

last requisite to the validity of a deed, is. the attestation or execution of
Presence of witnesses, though it is necessary, rather for preservmg the
than for constituting the essence of the deed. ‘ ‘ “w
