C., 205, it was held that a cause of action was alleged and that the case \u201cshould be submitted to a jury with proper instructions from the court.\u201d The evidence in the present case was substantially similar to that adduced at the former hearing. An examination of the exceptions relating to the competency of certain evidence discloses no reversible error. The contentions of the parties were fairly arrayed by the trial judge and the jury correctly instructed as to the rules of law governing liability. Indeed, the record presents a sharply controverted issue of fact, which the jury has determined.\nAffirmed.\nScheNCK, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.",

The evidence in the present case was substantially similar to that adduced at the former hearing.\nThe trial judge submitted certain pertinent issues to the jury, and these were answered in favor of the plaintiffs. The verdict awarded to the plaintiffs the sum of $600.00 actual damages, and from judgment upon the verdict for treble damages for the sum of $1,800 the defendants appealed.\nH. F.
