Carleton v. Sumner

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · decided 1827-04-02

Replevin for divers goods. The defendant pleaded, that at the time of taking the goods, the property was in S. and J. Robinson and D. R. Newson, and traversed that it was in the plaintiffs ; and on this traverse issue was joined.

Decided 1827-04-02

Per Curiam.

¶1This case is settled by the case of Hussey v. Thornton, 4 Mass. R. 405. The facts were similar, except that there the goods were not in fact delivered, but held for the performance of the condition of the sale. Here the contract of sale was complete and the goods were delivered without any condition express or implied; wherefore the vendor could not reclaim them.1

¶2Judgment according to verdict and for a return.

¶3 See Smith v. Dannie, 6 Pick. 262, 2 Kent’s Comm. (3d ed., 497, ante 452, n. 1.
