*338Abstract of the Decision.

Replevin, § 152* — when judgment is sufficient. A judgment in a replevin suit complies with, section 22 of the Replevin Act (J. & A. f 9207) and is sufficient to support an action on the bond where it holds, in effect, that the property is held by the defendant in replevin for the payment of money, and orders that unless the amount for which it is so held be paid within twenty days, the property be returned. ,
