## Opinion text

Purple, J. said:
I dissent from the Opinion of the Court in this case, upon one point arising in the cause, I understand the law to be, that when a deed has once heed delivered to the grantee, or to a stranger, and the grantor has relinquished all control over it, on account of the beneficial nature of the grant, it will be presumed to have been delivered for the benefit of the grantee, and that he will accept it, unless it appears affirmatively that he has refused to do so.
