Hollcroft v. Goodrich

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

This was an action by Adam Holler oft, administrator of the estate of Milton Cooper, deceased, against John Goodrich, upon two promissory notes. Defendant’s answer contains a general traverse, and also, a defense by way of set-off and counter claim. Proper issues having been made, the cause was submitted to the Court, who found for the defendant $36, and having refused a new trial, rendered judgment, &c.

The errors assigned relate to the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the finding of the Court. The evidence is upon the .record ; we have examined it, and are of opinion that its weight accords with the decision of the Common Pleas.

The judgment is affirmed, with 5 per cent, damages and costs.
