O'Connor v. Sowles

Supreme Court of Vermont
O'Connor v. Sowles, 57 Vt. 470 (Vt. 1885)
Powers, Rowell, Rowkll, Taft, Veazey

O'Connor v. Sowles

Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Rowkll, J.

The defendant moved for a verdict in his favor, for that the plaintiff, by her own conduct, was estopped from maintaining the action. The court overruled the motion; whereupon the defendant declined to go to the jury on any question; and thereupon the court submitted the case to the jury on the question of damages only; to all which the defendant excepted.

By declining to go to the jury, the defendant admitted as proved all that the plaintiff’s evidence tended to show; hence, the only contention he can now make is, that if all is true that her testimony tended to show, she cannot recover. But he makes no such contention; hut only contends that he was entitled to go to the jury on the question of estoppel. Hambelt v. Bliss, 55 Vt. 535.

Judgment affirmed.
