It was the province of the jury to weigh the evidence and find the facts; they did so, and the Circuit Court, in its discretion, would not disturb their finding, and, as has so\u2018often been hoi den, this court will not weigh the evidence in doubtful cases.\nThere being no sufficient grounds to warrant an appeal in this case, the judgment will be affirmed, and the appellant faxed with ten per cent, damages on the amount of the judgment against him.",
