Conceding that damages for a breach of contract cannot be recovered in an action of replevin, Delaware Marine Supply Mfg., Co. v. Philadelphia Lamp Mfg. Co., 5 Boyce 524, 95 A. 235; Mills Novelty Co. v. Transeau, 9 W.W. Harr. (39 Del.) 86, this case was not tried on that theory. Setoff would not be a proper plea by the defendant, Woolley's Del. Pr. ยง 1549; Goslin v. Redden, 3 Harr. 21; Mills Novelty Co. v. Transeau, supra, but as the plaintiffs admitted that the unpaid contract price of $2,500 should be deducted in determining the amount of any verdict in their favor, there was no error in the direction to the jury with respect to that deduction. At the sale of June 10, 1947, all of the property sold for $3,325, but there is no rule of law which limits the amount of the verdict to $825, being the amount in excess of the original contract price or March 20, 1947.
