Head Matter:
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,

Opinion:
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.
