The jury found that the plaintiff was entitled to recover the sum of $325 with interest from 23 September, 1927. Judgment was rendered accordingly, and the defendants excepted and appealed.\nWe are of opinion that the case was tried in substantial compliance with the requirements of law and the record discloses no error which entitles the defendants to a new trial.\nNo error.",
