by ship via Exeter, consigned to A.,
and advised him thereof; on their ar-
rival at Exeter they were delivered to
C. a wharfinger, who received them on
A.'s account and paid the freight and
charges; after their arrival A. wrote
to B. informing him that in conse-
quence of his affairs being deranged he
should not take the goods, and telling
him that they were at Exeter; at this
time A. had committed an act of bank-
ruptcy, upon which he was afterwards
declared a bankrupt; B. applied to C.
for the goods, and tendered him the
freight and charges due, upon which

his custody, but afterwards did deliver
them to the assignees of A. though in-

had a right to stop the goods in the
hands of C.; and, 2dly, that he might
maintain trover for them against C.
