Whatever evidence there was in the case bearing on the question of damages was stricken out; even if it had remained in it would not have justified the verdict.\nThe evidence leaves the merits of the controversy and the right of possession and property very doubtful. It does not clearly appear from the testimony what has become of the old fixtures or whether defendant claims an outright gift or an exchange of old goods for new, either permanently or temporarily.\nThe judgment will be reversed and the cause remanded\nReversed and remanded.",
