delivered the opinion of the court.
This was a suit for services as a bar - tender. There was a verdict and judgment for the plaintiff for $165.50. The defense was that the plaintiff was discharged on account of his embezzling the moneys received at the bar, with a counter claim for $800 so embezzled. The plaintiff and defendant were the only witnesses. The plaintiff positively denied any embezzlement. The defendant could state only that he believed he had embezzled, but nothing more. He could not prove the fact or the amount.
No instructions were given for the plaintiff. Two instructions were-asked for by the defendant, which, it appears, the court refused to pass upon. This may be taken as a refusal to give them. But there was no evidence before the jury on which to base them, and there was therefore no error in refusing them.
