1Opinion of the Court

HOOD, Associate Judge.

This is an appeal from a judgment on a promissory note. The defense was lack of consideration. Both parties moved for a directed verdict at the close of the evidence. The trial court denied the motions and submitted the issue of consideration to the jury. There was a verdict for the defendant. On motion of plaintiff the trial court set aside the verdict and ordered judgment for plaintiff under Municipal Court Rule 46(b), substantially the same as Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, rule 50(b), 28 U.S.C.A. following section 723c. Defendant contends that this was error.
