Joeckel v. Joeckel
Joeckel v. Joeckel
Opinion of the Court
The main and undisputed facts in this case are that one Leonard Joeckel, her brother, gave to the plaintiff the calf, which had grown to the cow in dispute, and that it was delivered to and received by her with the consent of her father, and to be kept by him for her. There having been
The question whether the plaintiff or her mother or any one else made any claim that the cow belonged to Garoli/ne until this claim arose on the suit, was clearly objectionable as being too broad by including others besides the plaintiff, and the offer of the contract between the defendant and his father was properly refused, because irrelevant, and no such contract could affect the right of the plaintiff, she not being a party or having assented thereto. This case is very like Wambold v. Vide, 50 Wis., 456, and, if there is any difference, this is the stronger and clearer case of a gift accompanied by full delivery. See, also, Fonda v. Van Horn, 15 Wend., 631; McCloskey v. Cyphert, 27 Pa. St., 220; Boobier v. Boobier, 39 Me., 406; Tyler on Inf., 122, 242.
By the Oowt.— The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
