At the trial \u2014 which was before the court sitting without a jury \u2014 the plaintiff introduced a witness, who testified that the defendant told him that he\u2014 the defendant \u2014 had stolen or taken two mules from the plaintiff, had sold them for seventy or eighty dollars each, and had received the money; and that, at the same time, the plaintiff asked the defendant if he did not think he ought to pay for the mules, and the defendant said he thought not. This was all the evidence introduced on either side; and upon this state of facts the court declared the law to he, that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover, and rendered judgment accordingly. This was erroneous. Where a person has tortiously obtained the possession of the goods of another, and sold them and received the proceeds, as was clearly shown in this case, the owner may, if he chooses to do so, waive the tort, and bring assumpsit for the price received. Bowman v. Browning, 17 Ark., 599.\nJudgment reversed and cause remanded.",
