1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Mr. Justice Hydricic.
This is the third appeal. The facts are stated in the opinion on the last appeal (105 S. C. 329, 89 S. E. 1021), and need not be repeated. On the last trial, the jury found a verdict for plaintiff for $1,000, and from judgment thereon defendants appealed.
