¶1This is the second time this case has been before this court. (Braly v. Henry, 71 Cal. 481.)
¶2We refer to the former opinion for a statement of the issues presented by the pleadings.
¶3At the second trial in the court below the defendant was permitted to introduce evidence tending to show a contemporaneous agreement between the payee of the note and himself, by which he was to be credited with the quantity of hay the stack was found on measurement to fall short of the quantity estimated by the parties, and for which the note was executed. The question whether *325there was such a shortage is the only real controversy presented by the pleadings.
¶4■The jury found against the defendant for the full amount of the plaintiff’s claim, and judgment was rendered accordingly. Defendant appeals.
¶5The record is full of objections to the evidence on the part of the defendant. There are no less than forty specifications of error, all going to the admission or exclusion of evidence, although the evidence is very brief, taking up less room in the transcript than the objections themselves and rulings thereon. We cannot extend this opinion, in like manner, by considering these alleged errors separately and in detail.
¶6Eighteen of the alleged errors are in sustaining objections of plaintiff’s counsel to questions put to plaintiff on cross-examination, with the view of proving by him that he was not the owner of the note sued on, and that the same was without consideration. As to the matter of the ownership of the note, the objections were properly sustained for two reasons: —
¶71. There was no issue as to the ownership. That plaintiff was the owner of the note, was admitted by the answer.
¶82. The bill of exceptions recites in the beginning that it is proved that the note was executed by the defendant to one Hughes, and by Hughes indorsed and delivered to plaintiff before the commencement of the suit.
¶9As to the question of consideration, the objections were properly sustained, for the reason that the witness had not given any testimony on the point in chief, and the same were not proper cross-examination.
¶10- We have carefully examined the other errors assigned, and find them to be equally without foundation.
¶11The defendant was permitted to go fully into the evidence excluded on the former trial, and the verdict of the jury is against him. It is urged that the verdict is not sustained by the evidence, but there are no specifi*326cations of particulars in which the verdict is not sustained.
¶12Waiving this omission, we are of opinion that the evidence is sufficient to uphold the verdict.
¶13It is urged by counsel for respondent that the record is not properly before us, but we have preferred to decide the case upon its merits.
¶14Judgment and order denying motion for a new trial affirmed.
