 HUNNICUTT V. HIGGINBoTHAM. Action of trover. Appeal from the Coun-
 ty Court of Cleburne.
 [ 1. Action of trover; can be maintained for the conversion of money.-Although an obligation to pay money is ordinarily enforceable by actions of assumpsit or debt. an action of trover can be main- tained for the conversion of specific mon- ey capable of Identification, such as money In a bag or separate package. or particular specific coins or notes which have been entrusted to defendants care.
 2. Action of trover against administra- tor for conversion of money; when can be maintained.-Where one deposits spe- cific money with another for safe keeping, in a bag, bundle. or coin capable of iden- tificaiion, if the administrator with whom the money was so deposited takes the specific money and mingling 1t with the other money of the intestate exercised dominion over it in denial of the deposi- tors right, he is guilty of the conversion of such money, and for such conversion an action of trover can be maintained.

 g. Waiver of tort; when shown by mere presentation of claim against estate. The presentation of a claim against
 the estate of a deceased. after the expi- ration of twelve months from the grant of letters testamentary, and which claim the executor or administrator refuses to , recognize or pay, does not show that the owner of the claim waived any tort that might have been committed by the exec

 3. Action against sheriff for wrongful levy of execution; void writ not adnissi- ble in evidence,-In an action against a
 sheriff to recover damages for the wrong
 full levy of an execution. where tine ex-
 ecution under which the defendant seeks
 to justify his seizure of the property
 Is void. such execution is not admissible in evidence, and is intellectual to justify seizure of the goods.
 1. Same; same; primary and second- ary evidence.-In an action against a sheriff to recover damages for the wrong- ful levy of an execution, 1t Is not conn
 potent to ask the defendant as to wheth-
 CT he took possession of the goods under
 a writ of execution; since such evidence
 calls for secondary evidence of the writ
 which should be proved by the introduc- ton of the paper itself.
 s. Same: admissibility of evidence.-
 In an action against sheriff to recover
 damages for the alleged wrongful levy of an execution. 1t is incompetent to prove
 the motives which prompted the plain tiff in bringing such suit; and. there
 fore, any statement made by tine plain tiff as to why he brought such suit, is immaterial evidence.
 G. Same; admissibiiity of notes and contract in evidence-In an action against sheriff to recover damages for the wrongful levy of an execution, where the plaintiff bases his claim to the prop erty levied upon under a contract of sale to the defendant In execution, where- by such defendant in execution agreed to pay certain notes due from the plain tin to third party and which were se- cured by a mortgage, the contract be- tween the plaintiff and the defendant in execution and the notes are admissi-
 ble in evidence as showing the plaintiffs title and his right of possessen to the goods.
 :. Sheriff; act of deputy is act of sher- iff.--The act of a deputy sheriff in levy ing a writ Of execution upon property, is the act of the sheriR himself; and where the sheriff ratiAes such levy by taking possession of the property and
 selling the goods under the writ. he can not set up as defense that the levy
 was made by his deputy.
