Dewey v. Bobbitt
Dewey v. Bobbitt
Opinion of the Court
By the use of the words “the amount due the plaintiff, if any,” in the eighth instruction, and by the use of a similar expression in the ninth instruction, the court evidently intended to follow the decision of this court on the former appeal. (Dewey v. Bobbitt, 79 Kan. 505.) The plaintiff asked for nothing
There was ample evidence upon which to apportion the consideration for the defendant’s purchase. The plaintiff himself recognized this fact in his requests for instructions to the jury. The greater part of his argument now is contrary to this theory, and consequently is not well founded.
The defendant was entitled to interest upon the value of the property which was not delivered to him. Nothing else argued in the brief requires a third trial of this action, and the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
