Head Matter:
James McCaldin, Respondent, v. William A Parke and Another, Appellants.

Opinion:
Pratt, J.:
This is an appeal from a judgment entered upon a verdict, and from an order denying a motion for a new trial. The' principles of this case were passed upon in a former appeal (see 66 Hun, 323. — Rep.), and, therefore, there is nothing to be examined at present except the question whether there are any valid exceptions to the rulings of the court upon the trial. No violation of the principles laid down in the opinion upon the former appeal are pointed out by the appellant, and we find none in the case, and we, therefore, refrain from discussing anything in the case except questions that were not raised in the former appeal The exception to the introduction of the bills paid by the plaintiff for repairs was not well taken, as they were merely introductory to evidence of payment which was put in with the bills. Neither was the exception to evidence that the vessel was properly loaded, error In fact, all the exceptions to the admission of evidence are without merit, the evidence objected to being a necessary part of the plaintiffs' case or proper to meet suggestions and inference made by the defendants. There are many exceptions to the charge of the judge, but we fail to find error prejudicial to the defendants in any one of them. The majority of them related to questions of fact which were properly submitted to the jury under the former General Term opinion. If that opinion properly states the law of this case there is no error. The amount of damage was fixed in the contract of employment. All the questions discussed in the brief of the defendants relate to principles raised upon the former appeal and require no discussion at this time, as we adopt and adhere to the former opinion, and affirm the present appeal upon it. The judgment should be affirmed, with costs. Judgment and order denying new trial affirmed, with costs.
