Supreme Court of Alabama May 31, 1906 (Merchants National Bank v. Bales)

HARALSON, J.

— The evidence warrants the conclusion that Greenlees’ agent obtained possession of the car lead of apples sued for without the consent of Bales, the owner, or any one authorized to bind him; that the hill of lading issued in Greenlees’ name at Wytheville, Va., was also procured tortiously. The owner, therefore, had the right to reclaim the property wherever found.
