Brewer v. . Harvey

Opinion of the Court

Reade, J.

A gift is, of course, without valuable consideration ; and to make it valid to pass title, there must be a delivery, either actual or symbolical.

In this case, the owner pointed out a colt, and said to his daughter, ” that is your property ; I give it to you.” There was no change of possession. The title did not pass to the daughter.

There is no error.

Peb Cueiam. Judgment affirmed-»
