Barnes v. Riley
Barnes v. Riley
Opinion of the Court
The appellee, Riley, as plaintiff in the court below, brought this suit against the defendant, A. M. Barnes, alleging the execution of a contract between plaintiff and defendant, and compliance therewith by plaintiff, whereby defendant had become indebted to him in the sum of $455. Defendant answered by a general denial, and by cross-bill set up the execution by the parties of a different contract to that alleged by plaintiff, and averred that plaintiff had breached said contract, by reason of which he had sustained damages in the sum of $303.20, for which sum he prayed judgment against plaintiff. The case was tried by the court without a jury, and resulted in a judgment for the plaintiff for the amount .sued for by him. Defendant has appealed.
The fifth assignment assails the findings of fact of the trial judge as being against the preponderance of the evidence. We have examined the evidence in the record, and find that the testimony warranted the court’s findings. No reversible error is pointed out by this assignment, and it and appellant’s *293 several propositions thereunder must be overruled.
We find no reversible error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.
Appellee suggests that the appeal was solely for delay, and requests that, on affirmance of the judgment, he be awarded 10 per cent, damages for delay. This request is denied.
Affirmed.
