or implied ,
where it is presumed by law .
For instance ,
when a conveyance is made to a man ,
his assent to it is presumed ,
for the following reasons ;

that it is for a person '

and no man can be supposed to be unwilling to do that which is for his advantage .
2 .
Because it would seem incongruous and absurd ,
that when a conveyance is completely executed on the part of the grantor ,
the estate should continue in him .
