French v. Smith

58 N.H. 323

Opinion

Doe, C. J.

There being no estoppel, tiie liquors were sold, if the understanding of the parties (proved by competent evidence) was that they were included in the sale : they were a gift, if the parties understood they were a gift. A transaction, intended and understood to be a sale, would be a sale, whatever pretence of a donation might be made. The instruction requested was properly refused, because the parties understood that the defendant was to have the liquors, whether they were sold or whether tliey were given to Mm.

Judgment on the verdict.

Smith, J., did not sit.
