Opinion by
William W. Porter, J.,
This action is brought for the value of fifty barrels of whiskey. The plaintiff’s claim is founded upon ten warehouse receipts issued by the defendant, who is a distiller and warehouseman. The receipts were issued in blank in respect to the person on whose account the whiskey was held, and no indorsement appears on the receipts. The plaintiff sues as transferee of the goods by purchase of the receipts. He has obtained a verdict and judgment. Appeals have been taken by both defendant and plaintiff. First, as to that of the former.
