Before Judge Oakley


JUNE l9.-Henry l.. Pan Wyck and Josiah John
son, VS. John q. IOoker.--Ths was an action az re-
plevn to testthe ownership Of lot of wooen goods
1t appeared that the plaintiffs auctioneers doing
an extensive business in this city, and the defendants
are what are termed jobbers. Some time in the fall
of last year the Plaintiffs had sale of wooens and
amount of $780, and approved notes for any purcha.
$500, and the goods sent home, and no demand
made for note for considerable time after the de-
livery. When applied to, the defendant said he had
not been able to get the note Endorsed, and second
application was made without success, when the
plaintiffs sued out writ Of replevin, and took
such portion of the woollens, as remained UNI
sold, from the custody Of the defendant, and it
to contest their right to pursue this that the
present action was brought, the counsel for the
defendant contended that the plaintiffs should have
brought their action for goods sold and delivered,
and not have proceeded by way Of repevin.
His honor, in his charge to the jury, said, that in
some cases goods were repevined on the ground of
fraad, the purchaser having taken them away with
out intending to pay for them. In such cases the
law vtates the bargain and returns the goods to the
hrst posscssor. In the present there was
frand set up. The case before the court was anaa-
goas to purchase made for cash, and where the
goods were delivered and the purchaser refused to
pay Tor them In such case, is the opinion of this
court that the property has passed, and that the
of opinion that the delivery Of the goods was uncon-
ditioaal, they would find for the defendant-and if
conditional, for the plaintiff.
The jury, after a short consultation, found YER
dict for the plaintiffs for the full claimed,
with costs.

In the East river the night previous in consequence
Of a calm, which prevented their making Roadway
against the tde that the following morning they

however, was taken, and in few minutes collision

days were occupied in the repairs Of the schooner,
and that she was earning at that time from $40 to
ST. per day A ship carpenter proved that her re-
pairs came to $ 1875 66.
On the part. of the defendant, il was shown that
the schooner drifting with the tide, and that
every effort was made by the master pilot and engi
neers of the Cleopatra 10 prevent a collision, by
stopping her engine, shutting off the steam, and
by backing the wheels. Ii also set up that the
schooner, by drifting at anchor in that part of the
