It is not argument to us.\nThe assertions in the brief that one witness for the appellee \u201c was not telling the truth; \u201d another \u201c was deliberately lying; \u201d and that the testimony in favor of the appellant \u201c is consistent, reasonable and .honest; \u201d are assertions of the truth of which we have no means of judging.\nA finding by a judge trying a cause without a jury, is as conclusive as a verdict of a jury, and being upon conflicting evidence, stands. Keating v. Springer, 44 Ill. App. 547.\nThe residue of the argument relates to the sufficiency of, and variance of the evidence from the declaration, but as all the abstracts tells us of the declaration is that it consisted \u201cof special counts and common counts,\u201d we omit consideration of the argument.
