It belonged to his father and was handled by him merely for his father\u2019s account, nor was it in his possession or under his control in the sense intended by the statute. Moreover, it was listed by the owner, according to his testimony.\nIn any view we can take of it we think the defendant was not guilty under the proof. The judgment will be reversed and the cause remanded.",
