friend Of the owner paid up the mort
gage on the car and then filed claim
to the car. He had had no connection
with the improper use OF the car. His
claim to the car was denied. Tho car
was then sold. and the proceeds came
before tho court for distribution. The
owners friend now claimed re-im-
bursement of the amount of the mort
gage paid by him Although the
amount realised at tho sale was suf-
