Schuchman, J.

¶1This is an appeal from a judgment, entered on the verdict of a jury in favor of the plaintiff, and from the order denying-the defendant’s motion for a new trial.

¶2There is but one exception in the case, viz.: to the denial of the motion to dismiss, when the plaintiff rested his case.
