Syllabus
<p>(a) In an action of replevin for a cow, the plaintiff showed title under a bill of sale from one Kennedy, but he had never taken the cow into his possession. The defendant showed title under a purchase of the cow from a girl who had been in the service of Kennedy, and who had received the cow for such services.</p> <p>1. There being evidence that Kennedy had told defendant he had sold or given the cow to the girl for her services; that the girl had performed the services, and, after Kennedy’s death, had sold and delivered the cow to the defendant, without knowledge on his part of the sale to the plaintiff,, it was not error to instruct the jury that if they so found the verdict should be for the defendant.</p>
