Texas Supreme Court

Decided July 1, 1873

Texas Supreme Court · decided 1873-07-01

Tried below before the Hon. A. P. McCormick. This suit was brought June 5, 1871, by ■the appellee against the appellants, on two promissory notes; one signed by N. Walsh, November 19, 1867, for five hundred dollars; and the other for three hundred dollars, executed December 24, 1867, by T. D. Gilbert. Plaintiff alleged the notes were given for borrowed money, to be used in the partnership business of Walsh & Gilbert.

Decided 1873-07-01

Walker, J.

¶1This is an action brought on two promissory notes; one of the notes is signed by Gilbert, the other by Walsh. Moser sued the firm of Walsh & Gilbert. The notes are not given by the firm, nor is there any evidence to prove that the money loaned by Moser went into the firm.

¶2The evidence in this case, so far as it was material to make out the plaintiff’s case, does not support the verdict. Appellee’s counsel virtually admits that the weight of evidence is against him. This is so apparent that the court below should have granted a new trial; and for the error in refusing a new trial, the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.

¶3Reversed and remanded.
