    No. 5540.
    Norwalk Iron Works vs. B. J. West.
    An owner of property is estopped from claiming it from a bona fide purchaser who has bought from one in whose hands the owner placed it, and where the buyer found it with all the indicia of ownership. However indisputable were the intentions of the owner not to surrender his ownership, when he has surrendered the possession and exhibited the person who has that possession to the world as one having the power to dispose of the property, he will not be heard against an honest buyer who had acted upon the confidence imprudently reposed by the owner.
