      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Sales, § 126
      
       — when delivery not shown. In an action to recover the purchase price of a certain number of angle irons, evidence held insufficient to show delivery of a portion of the irons by an expressman at the building at which defendants were working.
    2. Sales, § 126* — wrfiat does not constitute delivery of angle irons to building contractors. The mere placing by an expressman of angle irons, for use in a building under construction, in the street alongside the curb, does not constitute a delivery to the contractors, if no one representing the latter received the irons or checked them up.
