Freeman v. Nichols
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Freeman v. Nichols, 116 Mass. 309 (Mass. 1874)
1874 Mass. LEXIS 93
Gray
Freeman v. Nichols
Opinion of the Court
An unconditional delivery of goods sold for cash is a waiver of any condition in the sale, and the seller cannot afterwards assert a title to the goods. Upton v. Sturbridge Cotton Mills, 111 Mass. 446. Goodwin v. Boston & Lowell Railroad, Ib. 487. Haskins v. Warren, 115 Mass. 514. The evidence at the trial tended to prove a sale for cash, and a delivery without condition. The instruction given to the jury implied that some other evidence of waiver was necessary to prevent the maintenance of the action. Exceptions sustained.
