Robbins v. Barton
Robbins v. Barton
Opinion of the Court
Action for deceit which has been three times tried. The two former judgments in favor of Barton Brothers were reversed for trial errors (Robbins v. Barton, 50 Kan. 120, 31 Pac. 686; Robbins v. Barton, 9 Kan. App. 558, 58 Pac. 279), and complaint is made of the third judgment rendered in their favor. The point that the evidence does not support the verdict is not good. The proof, direct' and circumstantial, fairly tends to show that Robbins made, statements as to Gorton’s financial condition which were known by him to be untrue; that they were made to procure
The instructions are not open to the objections that they were inapplicable to the facts involved and did not state the issues in the case. No material error was committed in instructing the jury, and we see nothing in the other rulings complained of which prejudiced the substantial rights of the plaintiff in error.
The judgment is affirmed.
