C. F. SAWYER and Others v. GEORGE H. KNOWLES and Others.
    
    July 2, 1895.
    Nos. 9478—(241).
    Damages — Sufficiency of Evidence.
    Evidence considered, and held sufficient to justify the finding of the court below.
    Appeal by defendants from an order of tbe municipal court of Minneapolis, Holt, J., denying a motion for a new trial.
    Affirmed.
    The action was for tbe conversion of certain books' of account used by plaintiffs in their business. Tbe case was tried by tbe court, without a jury, and judgment was ordered in favor of plaintiffs for seventy-ñve dollars.
    
      G. JE. Brame, for appellants.
    
      W. A. McDowell, for respondents.
    
      
       Reported in 63 N. W. 1038.
    
   BUCK, J.

Tbe appellants’ counsel concedes that tbe plaintiffs were entitled to a judgment for nominal damages, and that tbe only other issue tendered was as to tbe value of tbe property in controversy. Upon this question there was ample testimony introduced, without objection, to sustain the finding of tbe court below, and therefore tbe order denying motion for a new trial is affirmed.
