Barnhill, J.,
concurring: Tbe cause was submitted to tbe jury on tbe issue of damages only. When plaintiffs rested defendants -offered evidence in rebuttal. This testimony is to tbe effect that tbe reasonable market value of tbe property was $2,500 and that there is due on tbe contract “$600 or $700.” Tbe jury accepted their theory of tbe case and their testimony as to tbe facts and returned verdict for $1,725.
It follows that tbe errors committed in tbe admission of testimony and in tbe charge of tbe court failed to barm defendants or to prejudice their defense. Since tbe verdict does not exceed tbe amount they have shown to be due they have no just cause for complaint.
