Taylor and Another v Sir Thomas Plumer: KBD 10 Feb 1815

Sir Thomas Plumer gave a bank draft to a stockbroker for the purpose of buying exchequer bills, and the stockbroker instead used the draft for buying American securities and doubloons for his own purposes.
Held: Sir Thomas was able to trace his property into the securities and doubloons in the hands of the stockbroker, and so defeat a claim made to them by the stockbroker’s assignees in bankruptcy.
