Neisler & Newsom foreclosed a chattel mortgage against Mittie A. Duke and E. C. Duke. The property specified in the mortgage as that upon which a lien was created is described as follows: “our crop planted this year, and on which said fertilizer is used.” The mortgage fi. fa. was duly issued and levied on the following property: “Two hundred bushels of cottonseed, more or less, in the house, also 1400 lbs. seed-cotton in house; also fifteen bushels of corn in house, more or less, two bales of seed-cotton in field, more or less.” E. C. Duke and his wife, Mittie A. Duke, filed separate affidavits of illegality. The affidavit of illegality filed by E. C. Duke was, in substance, that he had never given to the. plaintiffs a mortgage which they would have the legal right to foreclose; that the description of the property upon which it is claimed that a lien was created was so vague and uncertain that the instrument was ineffectual to operate as a mortgage. The other grounds contained in his affidavit of illegality it is unnecessary to set out, as none of the grounds of the motion for a new trial which we have under review refer to them. The affidavit of illegality filed b}^ Mrs. Duke alleged that the mortgage fi. fa. was proceeding illegally, on the following grounds: “1st. Deponent is the wife of E. C. Duke, and has no interest in the property levied on. 2nd. Deponent’s husband, E. C. Duke, is a renter
