Beels v. Globe Land & Investment Co.
Beels v. Globe Land & Investment Co.
Opinion of the Court
Plaintiff brought suit in the district court for Douglas county against the Globe Land & Investment Company, a corporation engaged in the business of buying, selling and exchanging land for itself and as agent for others, and John L. Maurer and William J. Hartman, its president and secretary, respectively, to recover damages arising out of an exchange of real estate between plaintiff and one C. A. Campbell, which was alleged to have been caused by the false and fraudulent representations of President Maurer and Secretary Hartman, while acting for their company. The jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff for the sum of $3,000, and from a judgment thereon defendants appeal.
By their eighth assignment defendants allege error in a number of instructions given by the court on its own motion; but, as this assignment is not discussed in the brief, it must be treated as Avaived. The eighteenth assignment, that the Arerdict is excessive, was not presented in the motion for a neAV trial, and cannot be considered. It is urged in the tenth assignment that a new trial should have been granted upon defendants’ supplemental motion for a new trial. Neither the supplemental motion nor the affidavit in support thereof appears in the abstract, and cannot be considered.
We have carefully read the abstract and additional
Finding no errors of law in the record, and there being sufficient evidence to sustain the verdict of the jury, the judgment of the district court must be affirmed, even though, if we had been sitting as triers of fact, we might have found the other way.
Affirmed.
