16 Ind. App. 169 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1896
This action was brought by the appellee against the appellant on an account for goods
A reply of the general denial closed the issues.
There was a jury trial and a verdict and judgment in appellee’s favor for $97.00. The overruling of appellant’s motion for a new trial is the only error assigned.
We are asked to reverse the judgment because of the insufficiency of the evidence.
There was evidence to prove that a portion of the goods (a bill of groceries and provisions) was purchased while appellant and Mary J. Arnold were living together as husband and wife, and used in appellant’s family to supply his table while the remaining portion was used by said Mary J. Arnold and her children while she and appellant were separated. The evidence is conflicting as to which of the parties abandoned the other, but there was at least some evidence
Judgment affirmed.
