Walker v. L. N. Dantzler Lumber Co.

Opinion of the Court

Reed, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The trial court gave a peremptory instruction to the jury to find for the appellee in this case. A review of the case leads us to the conclusion that there was a conflict of testimony regarding the delivery of logs and the settlement of the mutual accounts between the parties to the extent that the trial court should have permitted the jury to pass upon the facts in conflict.

Reversed and remanded.
