        "text": "Mr. Justice Gary\ndelivered the opinion of the Court.\nAn act of June 5, 1889, concerning chattel mortgages, provides that \u201cno chattel mortgage on the necessary household goods * * * shall be foreclosed, except in a court of record.\u201d\nThe appellee bought a piano\u2014probably in 1882\u2014for the children to play on. He could not play on it. In 1892 he mortgaged it. The case does not show that in 1892 he had any children, nor that anybody ever played upon the instrument.\nThe piano was taken from him, without process of law, under the mortgage, and he sued and recovered a verdict of $235, but a T&mittiimr brought the amount down to $150, for which he had judgment. The court refused to instruct the jury, at the instance of the appellant, that the words, \u201c necessary household goods,\u201d do not include a piano, unless the same is used as a means of earning a livelihood.\nApplied to this case, that instruction ought to have been given.\nWhat necessity can a man have for a piano that is not used?\nThere is a great deal more in the case, which on this appeal, need not be considered.\nThe judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.\nShepard, P. J., dissents.",
