Pardee, J.
We do not think it necessary to recapitulate or analyze all the evidence, nor to pass upon all the exceptions and assignments of error with which the record teems, because it is clear that appellee never parted with the title and ownership of the property sued for; that it had no notice, and is charged with none, of the equities claimed to exist as between Eager, contractor, and the bondholders of the Marietta & North Georgia Railway Company, in regard to rolling stock furnished said railway company as a preliminary to the issuance of bonds; that the contract or conditional sale between appellee and the North Georgia Improvement Company was made outside of the slate of Georgia between two foreign corporations, and is not affected by the Georgia law of 1889 relied upon by appellant, however the same may be construed, particularly as the contract was made months before said law was passed, and neither one of the parties thereto was the owner or the operator of a railway in the state of Georgia, and that the appellee is entitled to the return of its property or to payment for the same. We are satisfied there is no error in the decree rendered in the court below prejudicial to the appellant, and it is therefore affirmed,- with costs.
