      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Landlord and tenant, § 197
      
      —when evidence sufficient to sustain verdict for damage to premises. In an action by a landlord against a tenant for damage to the premises sustained as the result of the tenant chopping wood in the premises, tearing off wall paper, knocking holes in the plastering and breaking the woodwork, evidence held sufficient to sustain a verdict for plaintiff.
    2. Appeal and error, § 1411*—when verdict on conflicting evidence will not be disturbed. Where there is a sharp and apparently irreconcilable conflict in the testimony, the Appellate Court will not disturb the conclusion reached by the jury.
