3. It was' only incumbent upon the plaintiff, in making her case in chief, to show her ownership of the furniture, and the taking and detention by defendants against her consent. The burden of justification was upon the defendants. When they had introduced their evidence, the plaintiff had a right to rebut their case by showing the eviction, and that nothing was due *592on account of rent. Plaintiff’s counsel, however, introduced as a part of their case in chief, the lease, and the evidence tending to show the eviction. The defendants objected to this evidence, on the ground that it was not relevant to any issue in the case. There is no merit in this objection. As already stated, the eviction by her landlord justified her abandonment of the leased premises, and discharged her from any obligation to pay any other installment of rent. While the proper order of proof was not pursued, still the evidence was relevant to the issues. Besides, the questions bringing out a portion of this evidence were put to the witness on redirect examination to give her an opportunity to explain statements brought out on cross-examination by counsel for defendants, to the effect that when the seizure was made by defendants she was engaged in moving the furniture from the house. The witness clearly had a right to explain.
