Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
SIBLEY, Circuit Judge.
The appeal is from a judgment on a jury verdict, for a balance due to a lessor by a lessee for gas royalties. A motion for a directed verdict made by the defendant Phillips Petroleum Company, and one for a judgment non obstante, were overruled. Besides this, errors are specified as to the admission of evidence and the charges and refusals to charge of the court. The main law questions arise on the construction of the royalty provision in the lease, and touching the tolling of the statute of limitation, and the allowance of interest before judgment.
