Lighthouse Electric Co. v. Kellogg Switchboard & Supply Co.

182 N.E. 545 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1932

Appellee brought suit against appellant on account for merchandise sold and delivered to it. The complaint was in one paragraph. To this complaint appellant filed five paragraphs of answer, four of them designated as counter-claims, setting up affirmative matter. There was no answer of general denial filed. To these five paragraphs of answer appellee filed a reply in general denial. Upon these issues the cause was submitted to the court for trial without a jury. Judgment was rendered for appellee. Appellant filed a motion for a new trial, which was overruled, and this ruling is the only error assigned for reversal. The causes for a new trial were insufficiency of the evidence to sustain the decision of the court, and that it was contrary to law.

Unless there is a total lack of evidence to sustain the finding and judgment of the trial court, as contended by appellant, 1. the judgment will have to be affirmed.

We have made a thorough examination of all the evidence, submitted on the trial of the cause, and while it *70 is conflicting in some instances, there is sufficient evidence to sustain the judgment from which this appeal is taken.

Where the evidence is conflicting, this court will not weigh it on appeal. Payne v. Cravens (1931), 92 Ind. App. 197, 2. 174 N.E. 712.

Judgment affirmed. Curtis, J., not participating.
