Abstract of the Decision.
1. Pbincipal and agent, § 62 — when certified copy of proceedings for appointment of a conservator of principal is admissible in action to recover collected money. Where plaintiff, in an action to recover money belonging to her and collected and held by defendant, offered in evidence without objection a certain certificate signed by defendant acknowledging possession of such money and agreeing to pay same to plaintiff when certain troubles between her and other heirs of her brother were settled and also, over defendant’s objection, a certified copy of certain proceedings for appointment of a conservator for plaintiff, which were the troubles referred to in said certificate, showing that the conservator appointed in such proceedings had been removed and that plaintiff’s rights in her property and to its possession and control were restored to her, held that the court properly admitted the record of the proceedings in connection with the certificate and limited its effect to showing the troubles mentioned in the certificate were ended.
2. Evidence — when testimony as to evidence in behalf of defendant in other proceedings is admissible. Testimony by a court reporter with reference to evidence given by defendant at a trial of proceedings for the appointment of a conservator for plaintiff that defendant had collected plaintiff’s money and had not turned same over to her, held properly admitted, in an action by plaintiff to recover such money, notwithstanding the defendant had not yet testified in such action, as it was not offered for his impeachment hut as tending to show his indebtedness to plaintiff.
3. Pbincipal and agent, § 63* — when evidence sustains verdict for plaintiff in action against agent for money collected. The verdict for plaintiff, in an action to recover plaintiff’s money collected and held by defendant, plaintiff’s son, held not against the manifest weight of the evidence, where defendant and four other witnesses, his sisters and brothers-in-law, testified to a certain conversation between plaintiff and defendant to the effect that plaintiff then told defendant she would give him the money and for him to take it, and plaintiff, alone, testified she had no such conversation and made no such promise, and where it appeared some of these witnesses testifying to such conversation had been petitioners in a petition to have a conservator for plaintiff appointed.
4. Damages, § 207* — when instruction on determination of is not erroneous. An instruction stating that “if from the evidence and the instructions of the court you find, etc.," given with reference to the measure of damages in the event the jury should find for the plaintiff, held to be in the usual form and not erroneous.
