— This is an action in replevin to recover a piano. Plaintiff had judgment and defendant appealed. The defendant, it appears, gave the plaintiff a number of promissory notes for the purchase price of the piano which he secured by a chattel mortgage thereon. After payment of several of the first of the notes falling due he made default in the payment of the last thirteen of them.
