Appeal and erbob, \u00a7 482 \u2014when proposition of law unnecessary to raise question of sufficiency of evidence. No proposition of law is necessary to raise the question of the sufficiency of the evidence below to establish a custom, where the materiality of the evidence was objected to and there was a motion predicated on the insufficiency of the entire evidence.\n2. Customs and usages, \u00a7 27*\u2014when evidence insufficient to establish custom,. Where there is no testimony tending to show a general custom as claimed by plaintiff and his own witnesses testify that they know nothing of a custom with other dealers and that their conclusions are drawn from their own experiences, such evidence is insufficient to establish a custom.\n3. Customs and usages, \u00a7 27*\u2014what necessary to prove custom,., To establish a usage or custom, it is not sufficient to prove certain isolated instances, as the usage must be positively established as a fact, and not left to be drawn, as a matter of inference, from transactions.",
