Supreme Court of Louisiana June 15, 1843 (Price v. Smith)

Bullard, J.

The only question which this case presents is one of fact, to wit, whether thirty-one bales 'cf cotton, attached as the property of Hightower, one of the defendants, at the suit of the plaintiffs, belonged to him, or to the intervenor R. M. Farley, in whose name they were shipped.

The cotton was raised on the plantation of Hightower, and consequently was originally his property.
