Hart v. Peet
Hart v. Peet
Opinion of the Court
We are informed by tbe brief of counsel for the appellant that this suit was commenced before a justice of the peace; that it was replevin for two rifles which the plaintiff — appellant here — claimed by virtue of a chattel mortgage securing a promissory note executed by the husband of the defendant, L. R. Peet; and that default having been made in the payment of the note, the plaintiff secured possession without suit of all the mortgaged property except the two rifles. No mortgage, note or affidavit in replevin,, or in fact any part of the record, is found in the abstract furnished by the plaintiff. A supplemental abstract prepared for the defendant, sets forth a note dated' September 15, 1897, for $300, due six months after date, payable to Henry W. Hart, and signed L. R. Peet. We assume this to be the note referred to
Counsel for the appellee says in his brief that there was no evidence or contention in the trial court that any of the conditions of the mortgage had been broken. He says also that it did not appear that the articles taken by the writ were embraced in the mortgage, or were the property of the defendant’s husband, L. R. Peet. In behalf of the appellant, neither of these statements is controverted. The failure to controvert admits them, and the admission disposes of the case. — See Bartholemew v. Yankee, 30 Colo. 361.
Let the judgment be affirmed. Affirmed.
