Connors v. Titus

This appeal is not embarrassed by any question arising from the payment by one of several defendants of bis part of the. claim made against all.

The proof submitted would not be admitted for that purpose, and the motion was, therefore, properly denied.

Ordered accordingly, with ten dollars' costs and disbursements of this apjDeal.

Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
