United to the jury upon instructions to
which no exception is taken, and it must
be presumed that the legal rights of the
parties were fully protected. The jury
found for the plaintiff. Tho evidence was
contradictory. 1t was within the province
of the jury to determine where the truth
l,y. They saw and heard the witness, and
were in position to judge intelligently
OF the weight to be given to the testimony.
We are not authorized to reverse their de-
eision, unless it is so manifestly against
tae evidence as to warrant the belief that
the jury acted under bias, or wholly mis-
nnprebended the evidence. While we may
doubt the correctness of the verdict, it is
not nanifestly SO wrong rs to require us
to set it aside.
