Opinion of the Court

Ragan, C.

This is an action of conversion brought in the district court of Boyd county by James B. Kent against Sterling P. Jamison, sheriff of said county, and the Ayers, Weatherwax & Reed Company, a mercantile corporation. The corporation seized the property sued for on attachment as the property of Mlinar and Tazler. Kent claimed the property by purchase from the attachment defendants, and the defense to this action was that the sale from the attachment defendants to Kent was fraudulent. Kent had a verdict and judgment and the defendants below prosecute here a petition in error.
