Nothing  remained  to  be  done  by  the  grantor,  nor
could  he  have  done  what  he  afterwards  did  to  de-
feat his  own  grant,  if  the  trustees  had  given  notice
of  the  assignment  to  the  Assurance  Office.  The
question  docs  not  here  turn  upon  any  distinction
between  a  legal  and  an  equitable  title,  but  simply
upon  whether  any  act  remained  to  be  done  by  the
grantor,  which  to  assist  a  volunteer  this  court  would
not  compel  him  to  do.  I  am  of  opinion,  that  no
act  remained  to  be  done  to  complete  the  title  of  the
trustees.^'
