Tennessee Supreme Court March 15, 1835 (Crawford v. Bynum)

Green, J.

delivered the opinion of the court.

This is an action of trespass for taking with force and arms various articles of furniture, the property of the plaintiff.

On the trial the defendant offered to prove that the property seized belonged to a third person, and not to the plaintiff. This proof was rejected by the court, to which the defendant excepted, and prosecutes this appeal in error.
