Syllabus

<p>Replevin — Answer—Averments of title — Sufficiency.</p> <p>In an action of replevin to recover possession of an automobile truck the plaintiff claimed under a lease duly assigned by the original vendor. The answer of the defendant denied the ownership of the plaintiff and averred that the defendant held under a lease from the original owner, similar to the lease of the plaintiff, and that the said owner was in possession of the truck at the time the lease was made.
