73 So. 5 | Ala. | 1916
The suit is for the wrongful taking and the conversion of 50 bushels of corn, to which the plaintiff claimed title and right of possession under a mortgage given by H. C. Black to plaintiff, of due date September 15, 1913. The mortgage contained the following clause: “And to secure the above obligation when same becomes due the said H. C. Black hereby sell and convey unto the said S. I. Hamilton entire crop of corn, cotton, cotton seed, oats, wheat, peas, potatoes, sugar cane, and all other agricultural products grown and raised by and all right, title, and interests in said crops grown by tenants under me, or cotenants with me in Elmore county, Alabama, during the year 1913. * * * And it is expressly agreed that no power shall be given me to dispose of the above property, or any part thereof, without the written consent of the owner of this mortgage. To have and to hold to the said S. I. Hamilton, heirs and assigns forever.”
The plaintiff’s evidence was such as would warrant the jury in inferring that the mortgage was due; that defendant admitted to plaintiff that the mortgagor sold him some corn raised in the year 1913; that the corn was raised by mortgagor in Elmore county; that the corn was at the time worth 90 cents per bushel;
There was evidence from which the jury might infer that 44 bushels of the corn in question, grown by Black in Elmore county in the year 1913, was by the defendant taken and converted, to the plaintiff’s damage.
Affirmed.
