1Opinion of the CourtParsons, J.
This is an action of trover to recover the value of four bales of cotton. Glass, deputy of Thompson, who was sheriff of Sumter county, levied upon the cotton in question, whilst in the possession of the plaintiff in error, by virtue of an attachment against one Pope. The only title set up by the plaintiff was such as he acquired by the levy; and the levy was the only evidence tending to prove that the cotton was the property of Pope. There are several errors assigned, *10but the decision of the first which is presented by the bill of exceptions will suffice to dispose of the case.
