1. ““The title of the purchaser upon the assignment of the certificate was complete- without registration or transfer on stock-boots of the corporation. * * *. “* * * a complete equitable and legal title is passed by the act of the owner in assigning a certificate of stock and * * * a subsequent registration of the assignment and issuance of a new certificate in no way affects the rights of the immediate parties. “It is clear, therefore, from our decisions that as between the parties thereto the completion of a sale or a gift cannot be made to depend upon entries on the books of a corporation where its shares of stock áre involved. Title in this jurisdiction goes with the certificate. ’ ’”
