    Trover for seven hogsheads of tobacco.
    The plaintiff had put the tobacco notes into the hands of Mr. Heigh, for sale, who lost them; they came to the hands of the defendant. These tobacco notes were certificates given by the public inspector and keeper of the public warehouse; that A. B. has a hogshead of tobacco, of such a weight and quality, in the public warehouse, to, be delivered to the bearer of the certificate.
    
      Mr. Laiv, for the defendant,
    contended that there was no evidence that the tobacco was in' the defendant’s possession, although he had the notes, and sold the tobacco to Mr. Levy, who received and sold the same.
   But the Court

overruled the objection. Witnesses living in Baltimore were allowed for attendance, although the Court postponed the civil cases for two or three days.
