        "text": "Conger, P. J.\nThe facts necessary to an understanding of this case are as follows, being principally contained in the following agreed statement of facts, viz.:\n\u201c Agreed statement of facts.\u201d\n\u201cIt is agreed that this cause shall be tried upon the following statement of facts: The stallion in controversy was out of a mare owned by claimant, and was never sold or given away by her. Since he was a colt, A. M. Peddicord, husband of claimant, and residing with her, has handled and eared -for him ; and as between them the stallion belongs to claimant, acquired by her through other sources than her husband, A. M. Peddicord.\n\u201c In 1885, an agent of the defendant, supposing the horse to belong to A. M. Peddicord, on his application, stating 6Brigham\u2019 to be his horse, procured from defendant a policy of insurance on the horse as the property of A. M. Peddicord, he giving his note for the premium. Judgment was obtained against him on that note. \"When the policy was issued A. \"M. Peddicord took it home, and his wife, the claimant, saw it; knew how the insurance was taken, made no objections to the defendant or its agent, nor did she have the policy returned. But claimant refused permission to her husband to insure the horse before the policy was issued or applied for. After that the Peddieords came to Springlie'd and lived together here. A. M. Peddicord stood the horse at different places in Sangamon County, and had the exclusive care of him, the proceeds thereof going to the support of the family of the claimant, l\u00edo public advertisements were ever made of who was the owner of the horse.\n\u201cExecution on this judgment against A. 24. Peddicord was issued and delivered to S. M. Culver, Constable, who went to the house of claimant, who said A. M. Peddicord was absent. The Constable then asked claimant where A. M. Peddicord\u2019s horse was, and she told him in the barn. After looking at the horse, the Constable informed claimant that he had an execution against A. 24. Peddicord, and was going to levy on the horse to satisfy it, and that he must remove the horse. Claimant did not then claim the horse as her property, or object to the levy, any further than that she did not want him taken to any other barn, saying he would he safe where he was. Culver took the horse and held him until taken on a forthcoming bond, when he gave up the horse to A. 24. Peddicord on the delivery of the bond.\n\u201c On August 17tli, the horse was delivered to Culver according to the terms of the bond. After trial in Justice Court, the horse was delivered to A. M. Peddicord, as agent for claimant, under bond, as provided for by statute, until the trial of this cause on appeal in this court. The bonds, execn, tions referred to, and papers and notices on file in this cause} shall he considered in evidence if either party desires, subject to legal objections thereto by the parties.\u201d\nThe execution mentioned was levied upon the horse, August 3, 1886, and on the 5th of August, 1886, A. 24. Pedd icord, as principal, with appellant, his wife, and one B. S. Graves as sureties, executed to the Constable an ordinary delivery bond, reciting that the execution had been levied upon the horse in question as the property of A. M.. Peddieord.\nOn the 10th of August, 1886, appellant served a written notice upon the Constable that she claimed the horse as her property.\nThe notice in the record of date 4th August, 1886, can not be considered, as the bill of exceptions states that it was not \u2022on file at the commencement of the trial in the court below, and to such papers as were on file at the time of the making of the agreement as to facts, we think the words of the agreement, \u201con file in this cause,\u201d apply.\nWe think, under these circumstances, the appellant was estopped from setting up a claim to the horse in question. Leeper v. Hersman, 58 Ill. 218.\nThe part of the judgment awarding a retorno was erroneous but was mere surplusage and may be disregarded without in am^ way interfering with the validity of the judgment.\nThe judgment of the Circuit Court will be affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
