The goods which it is sought to recover ,

To support this action ,
the plaintiff must have a right to immediate possession ,
although he never had actual possession ;
a reversioner cannot ,
therefore ,
maintain it .
A bailee ,
who has only a special property ,
may nevertheless support it when he delivered the goods to the defendant ,
or they were taken out of the bailee '
s custody .

The gist of the action is the wrongful detainer ,
and not the original taking .
The possession must have been acquired by the defendant by lawful means ,
as by delivery ,

and not tortiously .

The plaintiff may declare upon a bailment or a trover ;
but the practice ,
by the ancient common law ,
was to allege ,
simply ,
that the goods came to the hands , &

of the defendant without more .

In describing the things demanded ,
much certainty is requisite ,
owing to the nature of the execution .
A declaration for "
a red cow with a white face ,"
is not supported by proof that the cow was a yellow .
or sorrel cow .

In this action the defendant frequently prayed garnishment of a third person ,
whom he alleged owned or had an interest in the thing demanded ;
but this he could not do without confessing the possession of the thing demanded ,
and made privity of bailment .

If the prayer of garnishment was allowed ,
a sci .

issued against the person named as garnishee .
If he made default ,
the plaintiff recovered against ,
the defendant the chattel demanded ,
but no damages .
If the garnishee appeared and the plaintiff made default ,
the garnishee recovered .
If both appeared ,
and the plaintiff recovered ;
he had judgment against the defendant for the chattel demanded ,
and a distringas in execution and against the garnishee a judgment for damages ,
and a fi .

in execution .
The verdict and judgment must be such ,
that a special remedy may be had for the recovery of the goods detained ,
or a satisfaction in value for each parcel ,
in case they ,
or either of them ,
cannot be returned .
