A PARADOX IN CONVEYANCING.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

IT is accepted as an elementary principle in conveyancing, that a deed properly executed and delivered passes a seizin of land from the vendor to the vendee, and that it is by a deed alone thus executed, that one seized of land in fee can pass the seizin and title thereof to a purchaser. To concede the truth of so simple a proposition, and at the same time, to say that one having a good title may part with it without a deed in favor of a third person, who is to derive a title and seizin from one who has neither, presents to an ordinary mind a seeming paradox.
