¶1 Statutory action of detinue for an automobile by appellant against appellee.
¶2 Plaintiff had owned the automobile. Defendant’s case was that plaintiff had sold the machine to his (plaintiff’s) son; that in an action against the son, brought and tried before a justice of the peace, judgment had been rendered for Maxwell, the plaintiff in that case; that execution had been levied on the machine; and that he (defendant) had purchased at a sale thereunder. It was competent for defendant to show title in this way; but defendant was, over apt and timely objections, allowed to adduce parol evidence of the judgment and proceedings in the justice’s court, and these rulings were error for which- the judgment must be reversed. Jones v. Davis, 2 Ala. 730; Ware v. Roberson, 18 Ala. 108; Watson v. State, 63 Ala. 22; Roach v. Privett, 90 Ala. 396, 7 So. 808, 24 Am. St. Rep. 819; Code, § 8722.
¶3 Reversed and remanded.
