Opinion:
Pee Cueiam,
This action was brought on an alleged expressed promise of the defendant company to pay for certain stone consigned to contractors and used by them in the erection of a building for the appellee. The nonsuit was directed because the evidence failed to show the defendant's assumption of liability as charged. Our examination of it has led to the same conclusion, and the judgment is, therefore, affirmed.
