New York Supreme Court May 15, 1841 (Brown v. Artcher)

By the Court, Cowen, J.

It was held in the Year Book, (27 H. 8, 21, case 11,) that, in trespass de bonis, a plea that the goods were not the plaintiff’s property was bad. The same thing was afterwards admitted jn Wildman v. Norton, (1 Ventr. 249; 2 Lev. 92, S. C. nom. Wildman v. North.) I believe it has never been denied.
