Ritchy v. Martin

Opinion of the Court

WRIGHT, J.

The deceased, Post, was the common source of title to the horse. The plaintiff claimed as the donee of Post, and the defendant as the vendee of Post’s administrators, the same interest. It would seem hardly to admit of doubt that Post’s declarations were evidence against his own title, and that the defendant, who claimed only to have afterwards come in to his right, could not object to it. We think the evidence competent. .The judgment is reversed.
