Taylor v. Sturm Lumber Co.
West Virginia Supreme Court
Error to Circuit Court, Kandolph County. Action by C. J. Taylor and others as partners against tbe Sturm Lumber Company. Judgment for tbe plaintiffs, and tbe defendant brings error.
1Opinion of the Court
Poffenbarger, President:
The principal contention against the validity of the judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, for damages for breach of a logging contract, brought up by this writ of error, is that the evidence is not sufficient to sustain the verdict, its sufficiency having been challenged by a motion to exclude it, a request for a peremptory instruction to find for the defendant and a motion to set aside the verdict. Rulings respecting the admission and rejection ¡of evidence and the giving of instructions at the instance of the plaintiffs are also made subjects of assignments -of error.
