This was an action of replevin brought by the-plaintiff in error against defendants in error for certain bonds of the city of Leavenworth. The bonds were issued to pay one Bullen for work done for the city. The plaintiff’s testimony. tended to show a general and also a special ownership of the bonds in himself, and a right to the possession thereof. Tbe defendants’ testimony tended to prove that the bonds had been taken on execution against Bullen, and sold at sheriff’s sale, and bought by Madam Wolf, in whose favor the execution was. The testimony of defendants was also intended to show that the purchase of the bonds of Bullen by plaintiff was collusive, and made for the purpose of screening Bullen’s property from the execution.
