A trust deed is the form used to convey property to some person who is entitled to its proceeds or profits. This form of deed is often used to secure the payment of a debt. In some states they take the place of mortgages.
"Look here," he said, delightedly, "the old man has forgotten his name. He's written 'Patent to original grantee, and signed it 'Georgia Summerfield, Comr." The speech of the Commissioner rebounded lightly from the impregnable Hamlin and Avery. They smiled, rose gracefully, spoke of the baseball team, and argued feelingly that quite a perceptible breeze had arisen from the east.
The wrinkles of laughter were ironed out of his fat cheeks. He stared at his client in surprise. It took him a moment to voice the dignified protest he felt necessary. "Our title is good in law, Mr. Gordon. I have been over the evidence very carefully. The court decisions all lean our way. Don Bartolomé Valdés, the original grantee, failed to perfect his right of ownership in many ways.
"They are supposed to contain all the title papers." "This one, now," said the boy, taking up Bexar Scrip No. 2692, "what land does this represent the title of?

The whole thing was done on a bumper of claret in a tavern where they met; and the old knight having once pledged his word, no lawyers could hold him back from it. They could only say that Master Faggus, being attainted of felony, was not a capable grantee. 'I will soon cure that, quoth Tom, 'my pardon has been ready for months and months, so soon as I care to sue it.
