1Opinion of the CourtJustice Burke
Plaintiff in error brought this action against defendant in error to recover on a promissory note for the principal sum of $100. The defense pleaded was payment. The cause was tried to a jury and from a verdict and judgment in favor of defendant in error plaintiff brings the cause here for review.
Defendant testified that he paid the note in question. The evidence on behalf of plaintiff was that he did not. There was corroboration of both, hence the verdict cannot be disturbed on the alleged ground of insufficient evidence. Hallack et al. v. Stockdale et al., 14 Colo. 198, 200, 23 Pac. 340.
