Syllabus

<p>Tbover and Conversion (29) — Evidence—Sufficiency—Connection of Defendant. The evidence fails to show a conversion by the pledgee of a mortgage pledged to it as collateral security, where it appears that the - pledgor prosecuted a suit of foreclosure thereon in the name and by consent of the pledgee, and had full control of the suit, and that the mortgaged property was lost by his fault alone, if by anyone’s, when it sold for only sufficient to pay off prior mortgages.</p> <p>Appeal (428) — Review — Harmless Error — Issues Found in Favor of Appellant. In an action of trover, where the jury found on competent evidence that there was no conversion, error in evidence as to the value of the property is immaterial.</p>
