Michigan Supreme Court · decided 1876-01-07
Case made from Wayne Circuit. This was trover. The plaintiff described himself in his declaration as Adam E. Bloom, assignee of Meyer & Fleischman, and counted upon a conversion of certain goods described. On the trial ho offered to prove the assignment to him by an instrument in writing, and facts tending to show the conversion of the goods by defendant after the delivery and acceptance of the assignment.
Decided 1876-01-07
¶1held that the validity of the assignment is not raised on this record; that the' ruling of the circuit judge, as to the cause of action counted upon by the declaration, was erroneous; and that the use of the term “assignee,” etc., does not authorize such a construction, but is rather to be treated as mere clescriptio personae.
¶2Judgment reversed, with costs, and a new trial granted.
