Under it lien and owner will be

The decision is of great impor-
tance to financing companies
which annually hold lien of ap-
proximately two billion dollars in
automobiles being purchased on'
deferred payments. Having pre-
viously decided that when an auto-
mobile was seized and the driver
arrested and prosecuted under the
