Crist v. Francis
Supreme Court of Iowa
Appeal from Clay Circuit Court. Action in replevin. There was a judgment for defendants. Plaintiffs appeal. The facts of the case fully appear in the opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtBeck, J.
I. The petition alleges that plaintiffs are the absolute owners, and entitled to the immediate possession, of certain personal property of the value of two hundred and. sixty dollars, which is wrongfully detained by defendants. It is shown that the cause of detention by defendants is based upon a chattel mortgage upon the property, to secure the payment of a note executed by plaintiffs; but it is averred that plaintiffs tendered to defendants the full amount due upon the note, and “the tender has been kept good,” and that demand was made by plaintiffs upon defendants for the property.
