Syllabus

<p>Trader. Possession of property. Sec. 1300, Code of 1880, construed.</p> <p>The mere permissive possession of property by a trader, where he has neither acquired an interest in nor a right to “use” such property in his business, is not sufficient to bring it within the operation of Section 1300, Code of 1880, which provides that all property “used or acquired” by a trader in carrying on his business shall, as to his creditors, be liable for his debts, and be treated as his property.</p>
