From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  ESCROW, conveyancing, contracts. A conditional delivery of a deed to a 
  stranger, and not to the grantee himself, until certain conditions shall be 
  performed, and then it is to be delivered to the grantee. Until the 
  condition be performed and the deed delivered over, the estate does not 
  pass, but remains in the grantor. 2 Johns. R. 248; Perk. 137, 138. 
       2. Generally, an escrow takes effect from the second delivery, and is 
  to be considered as the deed of the party from that time; but this general 
  rule does not apply when justice requires a resort to fiction. The relation 
  back to the first delivery, so as to give the deed effect from that time, is 
  allowed in cases of necessity, to avoid injury to the operation of the deed, 
  from events happening between the first and second delivery. For example, 
  when a feme sole makes a deed and delivers it as an escrow, and then marries 
  before the second delivery, the relation back to the time when she was sole, 
  is necessary to render the deed valid. Vide 2 Bl. Com. 307; 2 Bouv. Inst. n.
