A. Edsall Davis, Appellants v. Allaseba Bliss, Respondent

Summary

The Court reversed the Appellate Division and held that a vendor of personal property under a conditional sale may recover in conversion only the unpaid purchase price, not the full value, because Section 116 of the Lien Law limits the vendor's remedy to a thirty‑day retake period analogous to a mortgagee's interest.
