1Opinion of the Court
CAYTON, Chief Judge.
This was a suit for the return of a deposit of $500 made toward the purchase of real estate. Named as defendants were the owner-vendor and the broker who received the deposit. A jury decided the case in favor of plaintiffs and this appeal was taken by defendants.
Twenty-one errors are assigned, but most of these revolve around four basic questions: (1) sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict; (2) variance between pleadings and proof; (3) propriety of questions and remarks by the trial judge; and (4) improper statements and arguments of plaintiffs’ counsel.
