The deed from Archippus M‘Call, accompanied with the actual delivery of possession, under the circumstances, and in the manner, in which that deed was made, and delivered, cannot be considered, as an executory contract; but may be considered as a voluntary, though <i= fective conveyance, which passed the whole equitable interest at the time, out of Archi/ifius, and vested it in Walter M‘ Call; and though voluntary, being made with a view to a family settlement, and in the nature of a testamentary disposition of the estate, it is such a conveyance, as a court of chancery may validate, and when validated, and the defect in the conveyance cured, it will have relation to the time of the
Judgment affirmed.
