1Opinion of the CourtBiggs, J.
— It is alleged by the plaintiffs in their petition that they appointed the defendant their agent to manage certain mining interests, and that as such agent he collected from parties working the mines the sum off $1,000, which sum he has neglected and refused to pay. The defendant’s answer is a general denial. A trial before a jury resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs for $249, upon which the court entered a judgment. The defendant has appealed. His assignments of error pertain to the instructions and to the admission and. exclusion of evidence.
