    Sales—Transfer of Title—Delivery—Failure to Pat Purchase Price— Effect.

    Appeal from Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, Seventh District.
    Action by Jules A. Montant against Moses Johnson. From a judgment for defendant, plaintiff appeals.
    Reversed, and new trial granted.
    Argued before GILDERSLEEVE, DAVIS, and CLINCH, JJ.
    J. C. O’Connor, for appellant.
    J. C. O’Hare, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

We think the judgment appealed from should be reversed. The evidence shows clearly that there was a sale of the dog to the plaintiff, and that there was a delivery. After the delivery of the dog, it was intrusted to the care of the vendor for a day. She then had no right to sell it to the defendant. It was plaintiff’s property, although the price had not been paid. The defendant evidently knew all of the circumstances of the sale to the plaintiff, and took the dog with notice of plaintiff’s title. The dog should be given to the plaintiff.

The judgment is reversed, and a new trial granted, with costs to appellant to abide the event.
