Standard Furniture Co. v. Anderson
Standard Furniture Co. v. Anderson
Opinion of the Court
Respondent, by conditional bill of sale, sold and delivered to appellants certain furniture. Said bill of sale provided that tbe title to said property should
The complaint as filed did not allege venue. During the trial respondent was permitted to amend in this particular. This is alleged as error. Amendments of this kind may be permitted by the court in its discretion, and its action will not be reviewed except where it appears that such discretion was abused. Nothing of the kind is shown here.
Appellants allege that the evidence shows no demand, and that consequently the action in replevin cannot be maintained. The evidence doubtless shows a demand upon the husband, who by the statute is made the manager of the community personal property. The conditional bill of sale expressly provides that no demand need be made, before taking possession of the property, in case of failure to meet payments. We find no merit in this contention of appellants.
Appellants contend that they filed a proposed statement of facts, to' which respondent proposed amendments, serving said amendments before they were filed. The court
Appellants contend that this cannot be regarded as a replevin case. It appears that the case was tried in the lower court on the theory that it was a replevin case. Ordinarily a party will not be permitted to try a case in the appellate court upon a different theory from that which was observed in the trial court.
Appellants contend that the evidence was insufficient to establish some of the facts found by the trial court. An examination, however, convinces us that the findings were fairly sustained, and that we would not be justified in arriving at a different conclusion from that reached by the trial court.
No error appearing, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

- Pleadings—Trial—Amendment—To Show Venue in Replevin. A trial amendment to the complaint to show the venue in replevin is within the discretion of the trial court, and will not be reviewed where no abuse thereof is shown. Replevin—Demand—Upon Husband—Community Personalty. In an action of replevin against a husband and wife for the recovery of community personal property, demand on the husband is sufficient. Appeal and Error—Record—Statement of Facts—Amendments—Service Before Filing. Where amendments to a proposed statement of facts were served on the same day they were filed, it will be presumed that they were filed before they were served, in the absence of an express showing io the contrary, and an affidavit to the effect that at the time of service they had no file marks on them, is not sufficient to overcome the presumption. Appeal and Error—Review—Theory of Trial. Where defendants tried a case below on the theory that it was an action of replevin, they cannot claim in the supreme court that it cannot be regarded as an action of replevin.
