Cohen demurred: Why not say that the garment was delivered in consideration of the first four <i>zuz</i> [exclusively], so that it would thus be a case of misappropriating articles and paying [with them] a debt, or misappropriating articles and paying [with them] for goods [received] on credit, whereas the further advance of the last four <i>zuz</i> was a matter of mere trust,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And if so, the plaintiff should be entitled to recover the garment without any payment whatsoever. ');"><sup>45</sup></span> just as he trusted him at the very outset? After being referred from one authority to another, the matter reached the notice of R.
