Syllabus

<p>pales — Personal property — Transfer of title — Possession—Delivery — Bights of creditors.</p> <p>. Delivery of possession is necessary, in order to make a transfer of title to personal property valid, against the creditors of the vendor. In considering what is actual delivery the nature of the property and the circumstances of the sale must he regarded. Where the possession of vendor and vendee is concurrent or the vendor appears to occupy the same relation to the property, as he did before, the transfer is void as against creditors.</p> <p>Delivery of an automobile to the vendee’s barn in the latter part of one afternoon, from whence it was taken the next morning by the vendor under a lease, was not such a delivery of possession as would reasonably amount to notice to parties interested, and did not constitute a valid transfer as against creditors of the vendor.</p>
