   Stact, J.

Tbe evidence of tbe defendant, and tbat favorable to bim, if believed, was amply sufficient to. warrant tbe jury in returning a verdict of acquittal, but tbey bave taken a different view of tbe matter. Tbe case presents nothing but a question of fact, and this has been settled by tbe verdict. No benefit would be derived from detailing tbe evidence.

We find no error in law, and tbe judgment will be upheld.

No error.
