Appellant claims to have purchased a piano which he had once received for storage.\nAppellee claims to have an order from the alleged vendors to deliver the piano to him, appellee.\nWhether the chattel mortgage held by appellee is valid, or was a lien superior to the claim of appellant, is now immaterial. The jury found, in effect, that appellant had been tendered all his proper charges for storage, and that thereupon appellee became entitled to the possession of the property in dispute.\nAppellant\u2019s claim that he had bought and paid for the piano, was discredited by the jury.\nThe judgment of the County Court is therefore affirmed.",
