## Opinion text

Per Curiam.
If, as relator contends, respondent has property belonging to relator, relator may recover such property in an action of replevin. In the exercise of its discretion, this court will ordinarily refuse a writ of mandamus where relator has an adequate remedy in the ordinary course of the law. State, ex rel. Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Co., v. Industrial Com mission, 162 Ohio St. 302 .
Writ denied.
Taft, C. J., Zimmerman, Matthias, O’Neill, Herbert, Schneider and Brown, JJ., concur.
