Syllabus

<p>Demurrer fo® Misjoinder of Causes of Action — Immaterial Error. — Error in overruling a demurrer for misjoinder of causes of action is immaterial if no injury resulted therefrom. Instance.</p> <p>Conversion — Measure of Damages—Value of Property—Evidence of its Cost. — In determining what was the value of the property at the time of the conversion, evidence is admissible of the cost of the property, —not as showing the value conclusively, but as a circumstance to aid in arriving at the value at the time in question.</p> <p>Attachment—Seizure of Property not Belonging to the Debtor.— Estoppel. ■— That an attaching creditor had reason to believe that the property was the property of his debtor does not justify the sheriff in seizing such property, and is no defense to an action by the owner for a conversion.</p>
