Summary

Samuel Blatchford Washington Ice Company v. Wesbter…

The jury could not have found any basis for the calculation of the interest as damages, unless they had found, as they did, the value of the ice where it was situated, at the time it was taken. The sureties are bound by that finding. There was, therefore, no error in excluding the evidence so offered by the defendants, or in permitting the plaintiff to show, as he did conclusively by the record in the replevin suit, that the value of the ice where it was situated, at the time it was taken, was greater than the $15,000 named in the writ of replevin and the bond.
