Opinion

Howard, J.,

orally. — The bill of sale was not essential to the transfer of the property, and it may be controlled by testimony. The instruction permitted the jury to find, and they must have found, that Hancock paid his own money, and purchased the property for himself. By such finding, it results that the plaintiff was not the purchaser in good faith, and that Hancock, though not the nominal, was the real purchaser.

Judgment on the verdict.
