Receiver of stolen property

Receiver of stolen property. Punishable under the (English) Larceny Act, 1916, s. 33. The offence consists in receiving any property knowing the same to have been stolen or obtained in any way whatsoever under circumstances which amount to felony or misdemeanour.

Money had and received

Money had and received. When a person receives money which in justice and equity belongs to another, as a rule a debt is created and the money can be recovered by an action for 'money had and received to the use of the plaintiff', See Moses v. Macferlan, (1760) 2 Burr 1005; Marriott v. Hampton, (1797) 7 TR 269; 2 Sm. L.C. (11th Edn.) 421. But the action cannot now be extended beyond the principles illustrated in the decided cases, see Sinclair v. Brougham, 1914 AC 453, per Lord Sumner, where the true nature of the action is discussed. The cause of action arises when the money is received and not earlier, see Bowling v. Cox, 1926 AC 751 (754)....
