Per Curiam.

Holmes brought replevin to recover a mule. Defendant pleaded not guilty. Verdict ‍​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‍and judgment were for the plaintiff. On writ of error the defendant below, Dan Graham, contends that in the transaction relative to a contemplated ‍​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‍sale of the mule by Holmes to Graham, the title passed to Graham and replevin was not applicable. The evidence bearing on the trade ‍​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‍is conflicting; but the jury was justified in finding for the plaintiff, upon the theory that title had not passed to the defendant. The ‍​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‍verdict being warranted by the evidence, technical errors if any in rulings on the admission’ or rejection of testimony are not harmful or material.

The ‍​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‍judgment is affirmed.

Browne, C. and Taylor, Shackleford, Whitfield and Ellis, JJ., concur.
