Where a bottle of whisky is delivered to a person who lays some money down on a table in the presence of the person delivering it, the inference of a sale in consideration of the sum of money thus put down will be supported, even though there be no direct proof that after ■the person receiving the whisky left the house the person delivering it appropriated the money to his own use. Judgment affirmed.
