¶10OPINION

By WISEMAN, J.

¶11This is an appeal on law from the judgment of the Common Pleas Court affirming a judgment of the Municipal Court of Columbus rendered in favor of the .plaintiff.

¶12The action involved a claim for damages growing out of an automobile collision. There was a definite conflict in the evidence on the determinative issues in the case.

¶13The Municipal Court was the trier of the facts and it was within the province of the trial court to determine the credibility of the witnesses. If there is evidence of a substantial character to support the judgment, which appears in this case, a reviewing court will not reverse on the ground that the judgment is against the manifest weight of the evidence. We find no assignment of error well made.

¶14Finding no error in the record prejudicial to the rights of the appellant the judgment is affirmed.

HORNBECK, PJ, MILLER, J, concur.
