The trial court found for plaintiff and entered judgment against defendant for $22. To reverse the judgment, defendant prosecutes a writ of error.\nThe facts as found by the trial court were substantially as follows: Plaintiff, a tailor, had two or three times bought goods from the defendant, a jobber. Defendant claimed that on October 27th, the day in question, plaintiff was indebted to him for goods to the amount of $26.30. On this day plaintiff came into the store and bought some goods, amounting to $22, for which he paid defendant cash. These goods were done up in a bundle and delivered to plaintiff, and the $22 was handed to defendant. The bundle was left for a short time on the counter, while plaintiff looked at other goods, and thereupon the defendant took the bundle, and when plaintiff inquired where his bundle of goods was defendant replied: \u201cTon owe me enough dollars, and you get out,\u201d at the same time shoving the plaintiff out of the store.\nAbstract of the Decision.\nTrover and conversion, \u00a7 39 \u2014when finding as to ownership of goods warranted by the evidence. In an action of trover for goods purchased of a jobber, where the plaintiff claimed that he had paid for the goods and the bundle was delivered to him, and that after he had left it on the counter the defendant took it, and the defendant claimed that the money was paid by plaintiff to apply on an old account, held that a finding that the goods belonged to plaintiff was warranted by the evidence.\nBarnett & Glaskay, for plaintiff in error.\nNo appearance for defendant in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols, XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
