Ralph et al. v. Weary et al.
    This court will not consider errors not excepted to below. It is the province of the jury to determine the weight of testimony when conflicting.
    
      Error to County Court of Summit County.
    
    Mr. F. M. Hardenbrooe, for plaintiffs in error.
    Mr. J. A. Hall, for defendants in error.
   Helm, J.

No objection was taken or exception reserved by either party during the progress of the trial; we are, therefore, precluded from considering errors, if any were made, either in the admission or rejection of testimony, or in the giving or refusing of instructions.

But two witnesses were examined in the case, and there is no strong preponderance of proof upon the disputed points. The testimony of Weary, who was sworn on behalf of plaintiffs below, establishes their right to recover from defendants the amount of the judgment. Bergman, who testified for defendants below, contradicts Weary in some important particulars. But the cause was tried to a jury, whose province it was to pass upon the weight of testimony and credibility of witnesses; they resolved the doubts arising from these conflicts in the evidence in favor of plaintiffs, and a disturbance of their verdict by us would be unwarranted. The judgment of the county court must be affirmed.

Affirmed.
