Townley v. Wooly

Opinion of the Court

The Court reversed the judgment; — think liig the book was mot evidence to charge Townley where a third person received the goods, unless due proof was made of an authority to receive them for the use of defendant.

They were also of opinion that Egbert was not a competent witness to prove this authority, or that the goods were delivered on account of Townley because his testimony tended to discharge himself.
