The delivery may be none the less real and effective although the receiver is a fraudulent person intending to deal with the chattel dishonestly, but although in such cases there may be a transfer of possession sufficient to make the receiver a buyer in possession or a mercantile agent, there would appear to be no true bailment.(Crossley Vains, 5th ed., 1973, p. 82)
