The other case tried was Edward s
Cole vs.. Elmer f. Ham. This was an
action of replevin.
Elmer f. Ham, the defendant, as Con

Cole, IA brother of the plaintiff, and under
these executions he levied upon and took
possession of rubber. tired buggy Ed
ward s. Cole, the plaintiff, claimed that
the buggy was his, aud produced nc
aoirirA hill to show that he had pur.
chased and paid for it. The plaintiffs in
execution, however, we're unwilling that
Ham should give the buggy up, SO the
action of replevin was brought. On the
trial the same bill was produced, and ties
timony showed that the plaintiff had left
the buggy with Grant to dispose Of for
him. Grant had advertised it 10 his own
name, and that fact was part of the de-
fence. There was no direct proof to show
that the wagon belonged TO Grant, but
the circumstances and facts of Grant 5
having the wagon in his possession, adj
yertising it as he did and using it, were
relied on by the defence. The jury re
tired on Tuesday afternoon.
