Hotchkiss, 60 Ill. App. 580) nor that all the evidence is in it. Ballance v. Leonard, 37 Ill. 43.\nThe abstract contradicts the record in stating that McBride was not permitted as a witness to testify that when he bought the goods he intended to pay for them, and then the brief argues that as error, which method of presenting a case is not satisfactory.\nWhether the amount of goods purchased by the firm was unusual, as compared with anything, was not a question for an opinion by anybody but the jury, when all circumstances were shown, and no error was committed in excluding the testimony.\nThe judgment is affirmed.",
