Opinion of the Court by
Judge Robertson :
The judicial presumption from the record as now presented to-this court is that the county court had no jurisdiction to order the sale of the appellant’s corn; and consequently, the sale was apparently void and the appellee’s conversion actionable as a toft.
And, though the 3rd paragraph in the appellee’s petition is on contract not formally conjunctionable with the 1st and 2nd on tort, yet this testimonial misjoinder could not be aken advanage of availably by objecting to it, as the appellee did, only in his answer. Motion to elect or strike out either tort or contract was the only statutory mode of excepting to the misjoinder which, having been *175waived by non-excepion in the prescribed mode was no ground for the non-suit ordered by the court.
Turner, for appellant.
Barnes, for Appellee.
The petition and testimony seem to show a good cause of action for damages to some material extent; and therefore the peremptory instruction to find for the appellee was erroneous.
Wherefore, the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial.
