LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S MCI!, APRIL 24.

BARTON BODDINOTON.
This was an action of trover by Messrs. Bartons, who
are tallow-merchants of great respectability, to recover
from the London Dock Company the value of one hun-
dred casks of tallow. The tallows, which lay at the
London Dicks, were sold to the plaintiffs on the 18th
of September last, and they, on the 26th, sold them to
Messrs. Moberley and Bell, and gave an order to the de-
fendants " to transfer, weigh, and deliver," the same to
the vendees, Before the tallows were weighed or paid
for, Moberley and Bell sold them to Mr. Hawes, who
gave his acceptance for them, and the Company, on
their order, transferred them into the name of Mr.
Hawes. OQ the 10th of October, Moberley and Bell
gave Messrs. Barton a check for the tallows, which was
not paid; and on the 16th of October, they having
stopped payment, Messrs. Barton gave notice to the
Company not to transfer, and contended that they had
a right to stop the tallows in transitu, as the delivery
was not perfected.

The 1:0R0 CIIIEF JUSTICE said he should advise the
Jury to find a verdict for the defendant, as he was de-
cidedly of opinion that where the owner of goods sells
them and gives an order for delivery, and the vendee
sells them again to a party who pays for then), the ori-
ginal vendor has nn right to stop them frttransitn. But
as the Tlestion was one of great importance to the coni-
merciai world, lie was desirous that his opinion should
be solemnly considered; and therefore suggested that
the Counsel for the plaintiffs should tender a bill of ex-
ceptions to his charge.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the plaintiffs, intimated
that he should adopt this course, and accordingly
The Jury found a verdict for the defendant, which
will be reviewed in the manner suggested.
