Pee Cueiam.

¶1 The principal question presented by the appeal is whether one who purchases an automobile from a licensed dealer, generally offering cars for sale to the public, gets title superior to that of a prior mortgagee who holds a valid chattel mortgage, duly registered, on said automobile. This question was answered in the negative in the case of Whitehurst v. Garrett, ante, 154, and, on authority of what was said in that case, the judgment in the instant case will be upheld.

¶2 No error.
