Syllabus

<p>Conversion — Defenses—Vendee of Property Wrongfully Conveyed— Assumption of Vendor’s Obligations — Pleadings — Amendments. In an action to recover the value of a building which had been converted by a third party and sold to the defendant, who refused on demand to return it or pay its value, it is not error to refuse to permit the defendant to amend its answer to show that it had not assumed the obligations of its vendor, since such fact was immaterial and no defense to the action.</p>
