Ingram v. Atkinson

Opinion of the Court

Wheeler, J.

The questions presented by the record in this case were considered in the case of the same plaintiffs against Linn, administrator, and upon a petition presenting the same facts.

The.plaintiff has not slidwn, by averment or proof, a cause of action. The instruction given by the court to the jury was substantially correct. And although the court erred in overruling the demurrer, yet, as the final result is m accordance with what the judgment upon the demurrer should have been— that is, a judgment for the defendant — the judgment must be affirmed. See Ingram-ef al. 'v. Linn, Adm’r, and authorities cited.

Judgment affirmed.
