Pee Cueiam.
Upon controverted issues of fact tbe jury has determined tbe case in favor of tbe plaintiff. A careful perusal of tbe record leaves us with tbe impression that -tbe case has been tried substantially in accordance with tbe law bearing on tbe subject, and we have discovered no ruling or action on tbe part of tbe trial court which we apprehend should be held for reversible error. Tbe verdict and judgment will be upheld.
No error.
