The converter's possession being thus set free from adverse claims, changes into ownership.

If the change of possession is before judgment, there is a difference.

The, change of possession simply enlarges the scope of A's remedies ; for his new rights against C do not destroy his old right to sue B in Trespass or Trover.

Nor will an unsatisfied judgment against B in either of these actions affect his right to recover the chattel from C 1 [Or the proceeds of its sale in an action of assumpsit.
