— This was an action of replevin brought in the Circuit Court of Noxuba county.

The defendants below moved to quash the writ because no affidavit, as required by the statute, appeared on file among the papers in the case. The plaintiff introduced parol evidence to show that the affidavit was duly made and filed, and that it had *547been lost or mislaid. The preliminary showing was in other respects sufficient to admit the introduction of secondary evidence —if it could be admitted in such case — which we think could be done; and that the court committed no error in receiving the evidence and overruling the motion.

It was next moved to quash an alias writ, which had been issued in the case, on the ground that no such writ could be issued in an action of replevin. The first writ appears to have been duly executed, and the property replevied under it; the alias writ, whether it could legally issue or not, was simply useless; and the motion might have been either sustained or overruled, as no injury could accrue under either view of the question.

We find no error in the verdict or judgment on the merits.

Judgment affirmed.
