If this rule is sound, no intoxicated person who has any sympathy for his liquor seller, or any desire to maintain his institution, should ever treat himself except by proxy. But, in our opinion, the rule is not sound. Where A. orders goods to be delivered to B., and for B’s sole benefit, and they are so delivered, the title, we think, passes directly to B., and that, too, though the goods are paid for by A. The title would pass by the sale and delivery, and no time would elapse between the extinction of the seller’s title, and the commencement of B’s title.
Some other questions are presented, but we think that they will not rise upon another trial, and we omit to consider them.
Beveesed.
