Hoffman v. Gorman

Michigan Supreme Court
Hoffman v. Gorman, 123 Mich. 485 (Mich. 1900)
82 N.W. 225; 1900 Mich. LEXIS 848

Hoffman v. Gorman

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

It is evident from the briefs and.unsatisfactory record in the case that plaintiffs replevied this property, which was sold on contract for $495, when only $20 remained unpaid. The only error alleged is that the court allowed defendant to take a verdict for the value of the property. In reply to a special question, the jury found that defendant suffered loss or damage, over and above the just amount left due on the contract, to the amount of $37.50. If this was the value less the amount unpaid, appellants are in no position to complain. Upon judgment of nonsuit or discontinuance, defendant was entitled either to a return of the property, or its value, less what was still due.

Judgment affirmed.
