        "text": "Mr. Justice Scanlan\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\n2. Appeal and error, \u00a7 573 \u2014when exception is necessary to preserve right of appeal. A defendant who does not specifically except to a portion of an oral charge cannot complain of it on appeal.\n3. Instructions, \u00a7 81 \u2014when instruction is erroneous as unduly emphasizing facts. In an action for goods sold to a corporation, where the defense was that the transaction was with another corporation, an instruction that the jury could consider that the contract was made at the office of the Illinois corporation was erroneous, since the court had no right to- single out certain portions of the evidence bearing on a controverted question of fact and tell the jury to consider them; but the error was harmless where it appeared that under the facts a new trial would not change the result.\n4. Sales, \u00a7 330 \u2014when instruction as to implied contract is proper. In an action for goods sold to an Illinois corporation, where the defense was that the transaction was with another corporation, an instruction based on the theory that the goods were accepted and used by the defendant held not erroneous as against an objection that there was no evidence to support it.\n5. Interest, \u00a7 6 \u2014when allowed. In an action for goods sold on a written order, the sale being for cash and for a certain and definite sum, due at a specified time, the plaintiff was entitled to interest regardless of the question whether there had been an unreasonable and vexatious delay of payment of the money due.",

Sales, \u00a7 329 \u2014when finding will not be set aside. In an action for merchandise sold to an Illinois corporation, where the defense was that the transaction was with another corporation, and it appeared that the goods were ordered by the defendant\u2019s president at the office of the Illinois corporation, which accepted and used such goods, a finding of the jury that the transaction was with the Illinois corporation was not manifestly against the weight of the evidence.\nAppeal from the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Harry M. Fisher, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1913.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed November 19, 1914.\nStatement of the Case.\nSuit of the first class in the Municipal Court of Chicago by the Auto Light & Manufacturing Company, a corporation, against the 35% Automobile Supply Company, a corporation, to recover $1,500 for merchandise alleged to have been delivered by the plaintiff to the defendant npon a written contract.\nThe defendant\u2019s affidavit of merits alleged that the transaction was with the 35% Automobile Supply Company of New York, another corporation.
