lien, and stoppage in transitu would have been gone. They had constituted themselves his agents to receive, and did receive, or at all events attorn to him, and they told him so. If on the ; faith of the defendants' attomment plaintiff had advanced money to the consignor, as was the CASE Stonard Dunkin and others, a Comp, ar had altered his position injuriously in reference to the Persian owner, after they had informed him that they held the opium to his account and credit, the defendants would not have been entitled apparently on the authorities to defend on the ground of jus tertii. That is what was decided in Stonard and Dunkin, as pointed out in Biddie v. Bond. But in Biddle v. Bond after referring to the doctrine of Estoppel Lord Blackburn said “But the balles has no better title than the bailor, and consequently if a person

entitled as against the bailor to the property

claims it, the bailte has no defence against him. Wilson v. Andertoo. 450. The butee of a chattel is, however very, awkwardly placed at times. If the real owner of the chattel bailed, although astranger to the bailee, makesa claim, and the bailee notwithstanding his notice gives up the chattel to the bailor he will be liable In trover for conversion if it turn out that the stranger had the real title to the property. 'He, the bailee, on the other hand, may be sued by the bailor, on the ground that he is estopped from denying his title; hence the law allows him to interplead. He may however refuse to give up the goods to the bailor or the person to whom he has attorned, but only if he does so by the right, title, and authority of one in whom there is a better title and not adversely to him, I Biddle v. Bond 6 BS. 225_it_appeared that Biddle seized goods of one Robbins under a distress and gave them to Bond to sell. Before sale Robbins claimed them as illegally seized. Bond refused to return the goods to Biddle, in virtue of Robbins' title and succeeded. He did so because he defended by Robbins' title and' hot adversely to him. There are several cases where it has been considered enough to show that the better title is in the tertius without relying upon his authority. But the rule given in Biddle v. Bond is evidently the correct one for the real owner might have abandoned all claim, and the holder might thus keep goods to which he had no right whatever, In the present case 1 infer from the evidence that the property in the opium is that of Hadje Mahomed Juffer and that the defendanti 'bave. resisted the Claim and are defending the action by his right and title and by his authority and not adversely to him. The letter of the 29th July slated from whom the opium came, and, the object of the consignment. The plaintiff replied that he had got it as against sugar orders. Again and again he refers to the opium being placed under his control against sugar to be. purchased. The proceeds were to be applied to The purchase of such sugar. He says that be did not buy the sugar. His first letter to Sassoon and Company would show that as to five chests at all events his duty was purely that of an agent for he was to draw for balance between the opium proceeds, and draw, and 7800 Kupres, the cost of uugar to be purchased. There was some estimated price for (the opium evidently, for he says the draft for difference between opium and sugar may be $3 471 more or less. The account to be expended on sugar was fixed, but the pro- ceeds of the opium was not known. If the opium was his by purchase why should this sum be left undetermined? The plaintiff in his evidence suggests a sale to his agent in Persia, who he "thinks gave a bill on him for the

opium." He says however that "it was never presented for acceptance." When asked as to the consideration which he had given for the opium he answered that he had paid for certain bills to which be referred, drawn by Arration and Herapit on him. These however were paid for long before the opium was sent or the sugar ordered, and had nothing to do with the transae- tion. The transactions are explained in the correspondence which took place as to the to chests, and they were all against sugar orders. Messrs. D. Sassoon & Co., of Bombay acted merely as agents for the parties in Persin, and conveyed instructions in their behalf both to the plaintiff and defendants. They all concurred in Bending the instructions to Bombay to cancel the sugar orders, And no suggestion of purchase is made by plaintiff till very late in the day. The property in the opium never did pass abso- lutely. It would have passed sufficiently to give a good title to a bona fide parchaser for value, Foss the property is goods obtained by frand would see Attenborough v. London and Kathe- ring Docks LK, 3 C.P. p. 450. It was placed how- ever at the disposal and control of plaintiff for, a specific purpose-viz, as against orders to be executed but which were not executed. It was thus coupled with a' trust, and any application of the proceeds for any other purpose would have been a breach of trust, and the funds or any purchase made by them as long as they could be followed, in the hands of plaintiff, were liable to be attached in favour of the zeitguique trust Taylor . Plumer 3 M. and 5. 562 Lewin on Trusts. Whether therefore there was a price placed upon the opium, or agierd upon, or that the plaintiff was merely an agent to realize and account, the proceeds of the öpiam were to go to buy sugars which have not been haucht. If the property had passed the cancellation which under the circumstances, revested it, plaintiffs' right was a right to the possession of the property as against the defendants on the ground of the estoppel by attornment, but as against the owner of the opium he had nong.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1889.

On the question of fact as to the amount of money advanced, whilst feeling the force of murh that was urged upon me as to the rate of interest being so low, and no other gain to be obtained,. and the youth of the defendant, who was an expectant heir, nevertheless I am satisfied that the balance of testimony is in favour of the plaintiff, and that the defendant actually got the money which the plaintiff says he did, although he now denies it. 'There are suspicions circum- stances as pointed out about the evidence as to the money being in hand from certain property: the drawing of the promissory note and the witnesses to it and the bord, but that the money was paid I am satisfied. The defendant must pay, in addition to what he has already paid into Court, a sum that makes up the amount to $1567.68. 1ogether with interest at 8 per cent. from the date, to

which it we last calculater, The defendant

will also give up the promissory note which, however, he has offered to do. Judgment with cos^.

The Attorney-General (Hon E.L. O'Malley) instructed by Mr. Watton, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Francis, Q.C., instructed by Mr. Caldwell, for the defendant.
