By the Court.

The order of proof was in the ‍‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍discretion of the court. The evidence objected to does not appear to have been admitted for ‍‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍any other purpose than to show that the plaintiff had money which he might have lent ‍‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍to the defendants. If the defendants denied that the plaintiff had such money, this evidence was ‍‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍competent. If not, it was immaterial. The bill of exceptions does not show that the defendants ‍‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‍could have been prejudiced by its admission. Exceptions overruled.
