The judgment for appellee, before the justice, was for $8, and in the circuit court, for $15.\nThe property was temporarily in the possession of Mrs. Soldman, and while in her possession, was seized under a distress warrant for rent due from her to appellant.\nThe only issue that could be involved in the case is, whether the property belonged to appellee. That issue was tried before the justice of the peace, and before a jury in the circuit court, and upon both trials the property was found to belong to appellee.\nThe evidence is conflicting, and we are unable to perceive any reason for setting aside the verdict.\nThe judgment must be affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
