    Action to recover on four causes of action, one only being contested, which was on an account stated, for $887. The sole issue tried was whether the account was stated and settled between the parties as alleged. The verdict was for the plaintiff. There was a motion to set the verdict aside and for a new trial, which was denied, and the ruling duly-excepted to. The judgment was rendered in plaintiff’s favor and defendants appealed.
    Eor the appellants there was a brief by Freeman dk Freeman, and oral argument by James Freeman.
    
    Eor the respondent there was a brief by Thompson, Har-shaw c& Thompson, and oral argument by J. O'. Thompson.
    
   Marshall, J.

The sole question presented is whether the* trial court erred in refusing to set aside the verdict of the jury as not warranted by the evidence. The rule that the determination of the trial court on such a question cannot be disturbed on appeal, if there is any credible evidence, to support the finding of the jury, is too familiar to justify a discussion of it at this time. Testing the verdict by the. record; in the light of such rule, we are unable to discover any warrant for a reversal of the judgment.

By the Court.— The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
