This action was instituted by defendant in error in the district court of Douglas county to recover damages which he alleged had been suffered by him by reason of the breach of the covenants of a warranty deed executed and delivered to him by plaintiff in error in the conveyance' of certain lands. Pleadings were filed by which issues Avere joined, and a trial -thereof resulted in a verdict and judgment favorable to defendant in error. The cause is presented here by error proceeding on behalf of the unsuccessfiil party in the trial court.
One assignment of error to which attention is directed in the argument in the brief filed is that the court erred in giving paragraph numbered 5 of its charge to the jury. In the motion for a neAV trial the assignment in regard to error in giving instructions was as folio ays : “That the court erred in giving to the jury paragraphs numbered 1, 2, and 5 of the charge of the court' on its own motion.” This method of grouping in one assignment several numbered paragraphs, of the giving of each of which it is desired to assign error, has repeatedly been considered by this court, and it has been as often held that if any one of the group is unobjectionable the assignment will be no further examined. These portions of the charge were not all, if any, erroneous and the assignment is unavailing. No objection is urged against any except the one numbered 5; further than this, paragraph 5, when read in connection with other paragraphs of the charge, was not open to the complaint urged against it.
There is but one other question argued which it is stated was raised by the court’s refusal at the close of the evidence introduced for defendant in error to instruct
This disposes of all the errors urged in the argument here, and it follows that the judgment of the district court must be
Affirmed.
