Louisville & Nashville R. R. v. Scheinert

47 So. 293, 156 Ala. 411, 1908 Ala. LEXIS 107

Opinions

DENSON, J.

There can be no doubt that the fifth count of the complaint is in trover for the conversion of goods by a Avarehouseman; nor can there be any doubt that the evidence fails to afford a reasonable inference that the defendant is guilty of a conversion. .Hence the court erred in refusing the fifth charge requested in writing by the defendant. — Davis & Sons v.
