Qrafffy  Oo.  vs.  R.  ty  A.  P.  Caldwell

PlaintUb,  in  Baltimore,  consigned  certain  goods  to  defendants,  in  Charleston,  who  were
auctioneers  and  commission  merchants,  and  they  sold  the  goods.  The  action  was  for
the  proceeds  of  the  sale.  Defendants,  when  the  goods  arrived,  did  not  claim  as  own-
ers, but  said  to  a  witness,  they  had  a  lien  by  reason  of  advances  to  one  B-,  who  had
possession  of  one  of  the  set  of  bills  of  lading.  On  this  eyidenoe  the  plaintiffs  were
non-suited,  and  the  Court  of  Appeals  set  the  non-suit  aside,  holding,  that  the  evi-
dence entitled  the  plaintiffs  to  go  to  the  jury.
