1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Mr. Justice Hydrick.
So far as the facts are involved in this appeal, there is abundant evidence to support the judgment of the Circuit Court. Therefore, the facts are not reviewable in this Court.

The evidence warranted the awarding of substantial damages in both cases.
Affirmed.
