A. F. Lesher vs. Frederick Beesmeire and others.
    December 20, 1882.
    Evidence, though conflicting and contradictory, held sufficient to sustain a verdict.
    Action on a promissory note, brought in the district court for Dodge county. Defendants set up usury as a defence to the note, and, after a trial before Buckham, J., and a jury, bad a verdict. Plaintiff appeals from tbe judgment entered on tbe verdict.
    
      B. F. Latta, for appellant.
    
      Robert Taylor, for respondents,
   Bbuey, J.

The appellant’s only point is that tbe evidence does not justify tlie verdict. The testimony is contradictory and conflicting, but that there is testimony having a reasonable tendency to support the verdict, if tbe jury believed it to be true, there can be no doubt. Tbe case is, then, one of a conflict of evidence, presenting a pure question of credibility to tbe jury. In such circumstances a settled rule of this court forbids us to disturb tbe refusal of tbe district court to grant a new trial. Sumner v. Jones, 27 Minn. 312; Wright v. Ames, 28 Minn. 362.

Judgment affirmed. 
      
      Gilfillan, O. J., because of illness, took no part in this case.
