1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Oklady, J.,
On the trial below the defendant requested the court to say to the jury that under all the evidence in the case the *600verdict must be for the defendant, which was declined, and after a verdict for the plaintiff on this appeal by the defendant the refusal of the court to so charge is made the first assignment of error, the second being the overruling of defendant’s motion for judgment non obstante veredicto.
There are few facts in controversy in this case, and a careful examination of the record satisfies us that the case was presented to the jury under adequate instructions.
