Opinion of the Court

Fish, C. J.

There was no evidence to authorize a finding in favor of the defendant upon either of her pleas.

2. There was no error in rejecting evidence.

3. Accordingly, the court did not err in directing a verdict for the plaintiff, the evidence ffigiing out a case in his behalf.
