Supreme Court of Rhode Island March 6, 1860 (Battey v. Hopkins.)

Bosworth,-J.

The clear intent of the parties to the deed from Josiah W. Battey to Elizabeth Hopkins ought to be carried out, if it can be consistently with the rules of law. From the recitals in the deed it appears, that the legal title to the land at the time of the grant was in the grantor, while the equitable ownership or title was in Mary E. Chaping, his daughter.
