Appellant did not see fit to himself testify as to the transaction, or to introduce any evidence.\nThe plaintiffs were clearly entitled, under the evidence, to the judgment they obtained, and it is not now very important whether the instructions to the jury were in strict accord with the law.\nThe judgment of the Circuit Court is affirmed.",
