Supreme Court of Vermont · Decided May 15, 1884 · Tart
56 Vt. 569
Perry v. Dow

Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Tart, J.

If the defendant had the consent of the plaintiff to sell the property, there was no wrongful conversion in its sale, and consequently neither trespass nor trover would lie. The rejection of the testimony to show such consent was error.

Judgment reversed and cause remanded for a new trial.
