Syllabus

<p>PROCESS-SERVICE ON DOMESTIC ' CORPORATION-JURISDICTION-QUESTION FOR TRIAD COURT.</p> <p>The finding of the lower court as to the legality of service upon a domestic corporation will not be disturbed on appeal so as to deprive that court of jurisdiction, where its decision is based upon a disputed question of fact as to whether or not the corporation had an office in the county or an officer therein upon whom service could be made, unless the lower court is clearly shown to have been wrong in its conclusions.</p> <p>CONVERSION-MEASURE OF DAMAGES.</p> <p>Where goods have been wrongfully converted by one to his own use, demand for their return or payment is unnecessary on the part of the owner prior to suit, and the fact that he makes such demand would not alter the character of his right of action nor fix his measure of damages at the value of the goods at the time of demand, but the true measure of damages would remain the value at the time the goods were wrongfully taken.</p>
