Beckley v. Howard

Waties, J.,

delivered the opinion of all the judges, except Bay, '^absent, sick. No proof of conversion. Drake, when the demand was-made' by Clarke, had not assigned the bond, nor given Clarke any authority to demand it. Plaintiff not entitled to recover. The ‘ penalty of the bond not appearing, there was no other standard whereby to estimate the damage than the land to be conveyed, if a conversion had been proved.

New trial granted.
