<p>Verdict against evidence.—The court is of opinion that the verdict is not sustained by the evidence, and reverses the judgment for a new trial.</p>

Decided 1880-02-04

Per Curiam.

¶1This is an appeal from a judgment for $558.50 obtained by appellee against appellant in the county court of Cook county, on a balance claimed to be due to appellee for services performed by him for appellant in the latter’s grocery store from some time in 1871 to September, 1877. Appellee claims that he had a settlement with Moran in April, 1877, wherein Moran admitted an indebtedness to him of $500.

¶2We think the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict and judgment of the court below, and that the case ought to be submitted to another jury. Mo questions of law arise in the case.

¶3The judgment of the court below is reversed, and the case remanded for new trial.

¶4Reversed and remanded.
