The defendants are execution creditors of John H. Thamer, who absconded from _ the country in May, 1901. The trial judge found as facts that in 1894 the plaintif owned two farms, and had an auction sale of about $2,500 worth of chattels, etc. Of these Thamer, then 21 years of age, plainâ€" tift‘s nephew and adopted son, and who was living with him, bought $900 worth, but did not pay for them, and during the subsequent years worked one of the farms on shares with the plaintiff, who _ reâ€" mained in possession;, that at . the time Thamer left he owed plaintifi $3,400, that certain grain had been held over and not sold, but the balâ€" ance had been sold and proceeds apâ€" propriated _ by Thamer, and that at the time of the seizure the plaintiff, being a partner and in possession, was entitled to the grain, and that the goods had always been the â€" proâ€" perty of plaintiff under bis agreeâ€" ment with Thamer, who, pursuant to it, had from time to time replaced wornâ€"out articles. Held, that the judgment below was right and should be affirmed. The chattels never beâ€" came the property of Thamer.

The ‘Sheriff had no doubt the right under the attaching order to seize the grain but no right to take it out of the possession of the plaintiff, and nothâ€" ing but Thamer‘s interest in it could be sold.
