C. M. Hilliker & Son v. Allen
C. M. Hilliker & Son v. Allen
Opinion of the Court
The sale was actually made by the defendant, with the aid of his own canvassers, and there is a conflict in the evidence as to whether the plaintiffs v^ere instrumental in procuring the purchaser. The trial court
On the cross-examination of one of the appellant’s witnesses he was permitted to state the appellant’s custom as to assigning exclusive territory to local agents. Admitting, for present purposes, that the testimony was incompetent, it was not prejudicially so because of the witness’s subsequent explanation that he meant thereby that agents should handle the defendant’s goods, and no others.
The appellant complains because of a ruling excluding testimony as to the plaintiffs’ contract with another threshing machine concern. The substance of the matter was fully shown at another time, however, and there is no foundation for the alleged error.
This and similar complaints are also fully answered by the statement that there is no evidence in the record tending to show that the plaintiffs tried to sell other goods of the same character during the life of the contract. Some other rulings on the admission of testimony are challenged, but we find nothing of sufficient importance to require specific men
