1Opinion of the CourtJustice Lawrence
In Uovember, 1861, the plaintiffs in error, by their agent, Champlin, sold to Gilbert Hadden and Lewis C. Hadden, a reaper, a grain drill and some wheat in* store. The purchasers gave their notes for the purchase money, secured by a chattel mortgage on two horses in the possession of Gilbert Hadden. Soon after this transaction, George M. Hadden, the defendant, came to the house of Gilbert, and took away the horses. Thereupon the plaintiffs brought their action of replevin, and the verdict and judgment being against them in the Circuit Court, they have brought the record here.
