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.
