Ingle v. Mudd
Ingle v. Mudd
Opinion of the Court
— Action for the recovery of specific personal property, formerly designated replevin. The ■suit grew out of a loan by defendant of one hundred dollars, on December 23, 1880, the money to be paid at the Shelt-Mudd trial, which was to occur, and did take place, January 6, 1881. The team of horses, etc., were given to Mudd as security for the loan, interest being deducted, and the only material controversy as to what the contract was, is on the points whether the plaintiff ■was simply to repay the one hundred dollars to Mudd at the Shelt-Mudd trial, and then receive his team; and, if ¡not paid at that time, to repay that sum as well a,s expenses of the horses’ keep, rated at twelve dollars per month, from the time of that trial; the team to be redeemed, in any event, within thirty days 'from the time the loan was effected.
It is entirely immaterial, in this case, whether the-contract be termed a conditional sale, or a pledge, the instructions given, as well on behalf of the plaintiff as on behalf of the defendant, fully presented the matters in issue to the jury, and their verdict must be regarded as final.
Therefore, judgment affirmed.
