Linus P. Marsden, Appellant v. Thomas Cornell, Respondents

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's judgment for the defendants, holding that the plaintiff's chattel mortgage was void against subsequent purchasers because the required statement of interest was not filed with the 1871 refiling, and that the statute does not protect a party who acquires title through a conversion judgment. Accordingly, the plaintiff could not recover possession of the canal boat.
