App. 648, as authority that a verdict for one defendant is not good where there are two, but omits to notice that it is the recorded verdict\u2014not the loose paper which the jury returned into court\u2014that is the real verdict.\nHere the recorded verdict is in favor of the defendants in 4he plural\u2014a feature not shown by the abstract.\nThe principle that we will not go to the record formatter not shown by the abstract does not apply to omissions which favor the party making the abstract.\nIt is unnecessary to consider the supposed merits of this case. The appellant did not attempt to show any case against French, but affirmatively proved that he had none.\nIf there be any error in the case it is no cause for reversing a judgment which, if it had been the other way, could not have stood. Davis v. Johnson, 41 Ill. App. 22; Theodorson v. Ahlgren, 37 Ill. App. 140.\nThe judgment is affirmed.",
