W. A. Webster Co. vs. Guaranty Mortgage and Securities Corporation. Same vs. Same.
Suffolk.
October 22, 1926.
October 26, 1926.
Present: Rugg, C.J., Crosby, Carroll, Wait, & Sanderson, JJ.
The cases were submitted on briefs.
S. W. C. Downey, for the defendant.
W. P. Murray, E. M. Murray, & I. E. Simons, for the plaintiff.

Opinion:
By the Court.
These exceptions rest solely on the refusal of the Superior Court to grant a request for a ruling, "The plaintiff cannot recover." There was no error in this refusal because that question must be raised by a motion for a directed verdict under Common Law Rule 44 of the Superior Court (1923). Carp v. Kaplan, 251 Mass. 225. If the case be considered on its merits it is enough to say that there was ample evidence, which need not be recited, to support a verdict for the plaintiff.
Exceptions overruled.
