Lummus Cotton Gin Sales Co. v. McBurney
Lummus Cotton Gin Sales Co. v. McBurney
Opinion of the Court
In this case the defendant in error sued at law to recover a preference alleged to have been given the plaintiff in error by the bankrupt through a confession of judgment and subsequent execution of same on certain seed cotton. The case was tried to a jury and resulted in a verdict for the trustee, defendant in error. Error is assigned that the. verdict of the jury is contrary to the law and the evidence, but it does not appear that any request was made for the court to direct a verdict. The charge of the court is not in the record, nor does it appear that any exception was taken to the charge as given. Therefore the only errors assigned that may be noticed by this court run to the exclusion of two documents offered
