The Supreme Court has made a de-
cision which is OF great importance in these
days OF sewing machine and agricultural ma,
chinery frauds. The case presented was the
sale Of a. sewing machine for SIS, of which
the agent received $50 and the purchaser
signed paper which declared the ownership
and possession of the machine to still remain
IN the dealer, purchaser agreeing to nav FIVE
dollars per month for five months, etc. The
court decides that the receipt of cones own
property from person having no right to the
possession OF it cannot be valid considera.
ton tor an agreement to pay for the future
use OF the property or to deliver it up to such
person on demand and therefore decides
that the dealer cannot carry off a machine
from purchaser and also retain the money
paid for its purchase.
