Pee CueiaM.

On a controverted issue of fact, tbe jury has taken the defendant’s version of the matter. A careful perusal of the record leaves us with the impression that the case has been tried substantially in agreement with the law bearing on the subject, and we have discovered no ruling or action on the part of the trial court, as presented by the exceptions, which we apprehend should be held for reversible error. The verdict and judgment will be upheld.

No error.
