<p>Chattel Mortgages (27) — Recording—County. Where an automobile was sold in, K. county to a resident of W. county and it was stipulated that the purchaser should not remove it from W. county, it in effect was delivered in W. county, and that was the proper place to record a chattel mortgage given for the purchase price.</p> <p>Same (28) — Recording—Effect of Removal. Under Rem. Code, § 3668 [Rem. Comp. Stat., § 3788], providing that mortgaged personal property removed from the county shall he “exempted” from the operation of the chattel mortgage unless the mortgage is recorded within thirty days in the county to which it is removed, applies to mortgaged property in W. county, purchased in I. county within thirty days after its removal to I. county, notwithstanding the purchaser knew the owner lived in W. county and did not investigate the records in W. county where the mortgage was duly recorded.</p> <p>Hovey and Mitchell, JJ., dissenting.</p>
