This action was brought to recover a surplus arising on sale-under a chattel mortgage. Plaintiffs claimed the balance as subsequent incumbrancers. The question litigated was simply as to the amount of defendant’s claim.

The court here say: “ The facts stated by the judge clearly warrant his conclusion of law in favor of the claim of plaintiffs. The only question for us is whether there is any evidence in the case upon which the finding can be based; a careful perusal of the evidence brings us to the conclusion, that there is.”
