Smith v. Picket

[105] By the Court. — Lumpkin, J. delivering the opinion. [1.] We think the Court was right in holding Smith liable upon the garnishment. This was a contract of bailment merely, evidenced by the receipt; and the baifor* having been garnisheed before the cotton was sold by the bailee^" he became responsible to the creditor of Hardwick upon the summons, and delivered over the property in his own wrong. Let the judgment be affirmed.
