Upon issues submitted, the jury assessed plaintiffs\u2019 damages at $650.00.\nThe principal contention of defendants, appellants, was that by reason of a settlement with defendant Iron Works, plaintiffs should be held to have released their claim against defendants Coppersmith and Jones, but the value of the property affected by plaintiffs\u2019 adjustment of a separate controversy with the Iron Works was excluded from the consideration of the jury.\nThe appellants and the Iron Works were not joint tort-feasors, nor did the plaintiffs, by settlement of another and different claim with the latter, obtain satisfaction for the matters here litigated.
