J. W. Trammell v. Jack Whitlock Et Ux‪.‬

This is a bailor-bailee controversy over damage to a cargo trailer, allegedly borrowed for ten days from plaintiff-respondent, Whitlock and wife, by the defendant-petitioner Trammell, under express agreement of the latter to return it in like good order as when received, except for usual wear and tear, and actually returned in severely damaged condition. Notwithstanding a verdict for the plaintiff-respondents, Whitlock, the trial court held for Trammell, but the Court of Civil Appeals reversed that judgment and rendered judgment against Trammell. 237 S.W.2d 451. Trammell accordingly seeks relief here.
