plaintiff is entitled to immediate possession, the detention by the defendant is wrongful; if, however, no demand be made before the institution of the suit, and the original possession of the defendant were lawful, he may tender the property to the plaintiff, and, upon its delivery, by proper plea, discharge the action. But if, instead of this course, he denies the right of the plaintiff, and contests the action upon its merits, he can not, after a verdict against him, defeat a recovery on the ground that there was no demand. The writ is a demand, and defending the suit a refusal": Citizens' State Bank v. Chattanooga State Bank (Okla.), 101 Pac. 1118, 1120, quoting from Dearing v. Ford, 13 Smedes & M. (Miss.), 274, and referring for cases supporting this rule to 24 Am. & Eng. Ency. Law, 2d ed., p. 510, notes 4, 6.

11. Demand unnecessary where seizin is unlawful.-Where the seizin is unlawful, it is not necessary to allege a demand in replevin: Krebs Hop Co. v. Taylor, 52 Ore. 627, 97 Pac. 44, 45; Surles v. Sweeney, 11 Ore. 21, 4 Pac. 469; Moorhouse v. Donaca, 14 Ore. 430, 13 Pac. 112.

12. Defense.-Estoppel to deny taking. -Where to the complaint in an action in claim and delivery to recover the possession of certain cattle, the defendant answered and alleged the taking of the property described in the complaint, together with other property, in a chattel mortgage, and afterwards upon the trial offered to show that the stock did not answer the description contained in the complaint; held, that such evidence was properly rejected, inasmuch as by its answer the defendant had estopped itself from claiming that it had not taken the property described in the complaint, there being no request made to amend the answer: Kime v. Edgemont, 22 S. Dak. 630, 119 N. W. 1003.

13. Defense as demurrage tendered.— A defense to an action in replevin to

recover from defendant, a railway corporation, under the laws of Missouri, the possession of certain specifically described lumber, which defense is based upon a count in which the defendant alleges a certain tender of demurrage as to each car, but fails to allege that the amount so tendered was a reasonable sum for such charges, and fails, in view of an interstate commerce regulation, to aver that the amounts were sufficient to meet the same; held, that the demurrer was properly sustained thereto: Darlington L. Co. v. Missouri Pacific R. Co., 216 Mo. 658, 116 S. W. 530, 537.

14. Action upon replevin bond.-In all suits on replevin bonds, it is provided in the Missouri statutes (Rev. Stats. 1899, 3924, Ann. Stats. 1906, p. 2165) that where the action is dismissed for want of jurisdiction, the defendant therein shall have a right of action on the bond, but that in such action the defendants (plaintiffs in the original action) "shall have the right to set up as a defense the ownership or the right of possession of the property involved in the original replevin suit": Bailey v. Dennis, 135 Mo. App. 93, 115 S. W. 506, 507.

15. Dismissed attachment suit not a bar to replevin.-The bringing of an attachment suit which is dismissed before judgment does not bar a suit in replevin arising out of the same transaction: Johnson-Brinkman Com. Co. V. Missouri Pacific R. Co., 126 Mo. 344, 28 S. W. 870, 26 L. R. A. 840, 47 Am. St. Rep. 675, approved in Tower v. Compton Hill I. Co., 192 Mo. 379, 91 S. W. 104.

16. The decision in replevin should respond to all the issues raised by the pleadings, and, as unlawful detainer is the gist of the action, should speak unequivocally as to that: Barnes v. Plessner, 137 Mo. App. 571, 119 S. W. 457, 458; Mercer v. James, 6 Neb. 406; Smith v. Smith, 17 Ore. 444, 21 Pac. 449.
