Henderson-Jarrett Co. v. Building & Lumber Co.

Opinion of the Court

Pee Curiam.

We have examined the several assignments of error of the defendant, and are of opinion that no error was committed upon the trial below which is of sufficient importance to justify us in directing another trial.

The form of the first issue is such that it is evident that the jury considered the set-offs claimed by defendant under that issue.

Tailing the charge as a whole, and from the verdict of the jury as it stands, it becomes apparent that the jury did consider the sehoff and claims of the defendant, and reduced the amount of the recovery of plaintiff to $1,000, and in doing so they could not have done other than consider the matters in evidence under the second issue. This is doubtless the reason the experienced judge who tried this ease did not send the jury back with instructions to answer the second issue.

A consideration of the entire record convinces us that substantial justice has been done upon the trial and that no reversible error has been committed.

No error.
