Ditson v. Randall

Tenney, J., orally.— We cannot assume that the horse was put away feloniously. We are at liberty only, to conclude from the statement of facts, that it was done fraudulently. And the doctrine is, that the vendor of a chattel, though the sale was procured by the fraudulent conduct of the vendee, cannot reclaim the property from a subsequent innocent purchaser. Judgment for the defendant.
