Where, pending an application for exemption, the property sought to be exempted is sold at a judicial sale, subject to the right of exemption, the purchaser at the sale takes the property subject to the same right of exemption ; and if afterwards it be allowed by the Ordinary, the applicant may maintain trover against any one who may have converted personalty so sold. No demand is necessary where the defendant has sold the property, but such sale is itself a conversion.

Judgment reversed.
