Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Replevin for horse blankets and carriage robes which the plaintiffs contend that the defendants ordered and received with a preconceived intention not to pay for them. Writ in the Superior Court for the county of Worcester dated October 4,1906. At the trial, which was before Wait, J., a verdict was directed for the defendants, and the plaintiff excepted.
1Opinion of the CourtKnowlton, C. J.
This writ of replevin was brought to recover property in the possession of a bankrupt firm, five days after an adjudication of bankruptcy against it, but before the appointment of a trustee, and before anything had been done to obtain actual possession of the property for the benefit of the creditors. The case is before us on two bills of exceptions, the first filed by the defendant to set aside a ruling that the writ was properly issued, and the second filed by the plaintiff on his objection and exception to the ruling that, upon all the evidence, the plaintiff was not entitled to recover.
