E. F. McDonald & Company, Appellee, v. Drexel Motor Livery Company et al. On Appeal of W. J. Kalus.
    Gen. No. 23,046.
    (Not to be reported in full.)
    Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Appeal and error, § 864
      
       — when record not searched for matters not in abstract. The abstract is the pleading of the party, and the record will not be searched for any matter not appearing in the abstract.
    '2. Appeal and error, § 1284* — when presumed that trial court decided that notes and mortgage were sufficient to give plaintiff in replevin possession. In an action of replevin, where plaintiff claims the right of possession by virtue of the “insecurity clause” in a chattel mortgage given by one of the defendants upon the property taken under the writ, and neither the mortgage nor the notes secured by it appear in the record, it will he assumed that the trial court, which had the notes and mortgage before it, decided that they were sufficient to give plaintiff possession under the “insecurity clause.”
    
      Appeal from the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. John Stelk, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the March term, 1917.
    Affirmed.
    Opinion filed July 2, 1917.
    Rehearing denied July 16, 1917.
    
      Certiorari denied by Supreme Court (making opinion final).
