1Opinion of the Court
Dibell, C.
This action was brought to recover upon a promissory note made by the defendants to the plaintiff’s assignor. The defendants sought to set off damages for a breach of a contract of bailment made by the predecessor in title of the plaintiff. The jury found for the defendants. The court, upon an alternative motion for judgment or for a new trial, granted judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The defendants appeal.
1. The defendants admitted liability upon the note, leaving for determination their right to set off damages arising from the breach of the contract of bailment.
