149 Ill. App. 549

Hunt

Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided May 19, 1909

Appellate Court of Illinois · decided 1909-05-19

<p>Vebdicts—when not disturbed. A verdict will not be set aside on review as against the weight oí the evidence unless clearly and manifestly so.</p>

Affirmed · Decided 1909-05-19

Mr. Presiding Justice Puterbaugh

¶1delivered the opinion of the court.

¶2The appellant was summoned as garnishee in two attachment suits brought by Edwards and Williams & Son, respectively, against one Hunt. After the causes had been consolidated, a trial by jury was had, which resulted in a judgment against appellant, for the use of appellees, in the sum of $15. The only error assigned is that the verdict is contrary to the evidence. The sole controverted issue of fact in the case was whether or not appellant was entitled to off-set against the demand of Hunt, the reasonable rental value of a room and light which he claimed to have furnished Hunt. The evidence relative thereto was conflicting, and we are unable to say that the verdict of the jury was manifestly against the evidence.

¶3The judgment is therefore affirmed.

¶4'Affirmed.
