“"At common law (54 C.J. 418) and under our statutes, G.S. 1935, 60-1002 and 61-502, replevin is a possessory action. To maintain replevin under our statutes the plaintiff must show ( a ) that he owns the property, or that he has a special ownership or interest therein; ( b ) that he is entitled to the immediate possession of the property, and ( c ) that the property is wrongfully detained by the defendant. ( Batchelor v. Walburn, 23 Kan. 733 .)" (p. 782.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““A lien is not ownership, general or special. It is a claim or charge for the payment of an obligation, and the statute provides the method of enforcement. Under attachment the property may be sold, and the rights of both parties are protected. But in replevin, if plaintiff is the absolute owner, he keeps the property and is not required to account to anyone.” (p. 783.)”
