Williams v. Walker
Williams v. Walker
Opinion of the Court
Walker sued Williams and Harman upon a promissory note for the payment of 3,600 dollars. Issues were duly made and submitted to a jury, who found for the plaintiff 3,477 dollars. And the Court, having refused a new trial, rendered judgment on the verdict.
The errors assigned relate, first, to the instructions given by the Court; and secondly, to its refusal to grant a new trial. Neither assignment is available. The record shows affirmatively that to the instructions given to the jury no exception was taken by either party; hence, the action of the Circuit Court in giving them, or either of them, is not examinable in this Court. And in relation to the refusal to grant a new trial, we are of opinion, having examined the evidence carefully, that it fully sustains the verdict.
The judgment is affirmed, with 5 per cent, damages and costs.
