Opinion by
The testimony in this case'discloses a question of fact for the jury. The evidence, that the plaintiff left her purse on the counter where she was making a purchase at the defendants’ store, is not only not’ contradicted hut is in a degree corroborated by the defendants’ witness, Mr. Weinstein. When the plaintiff returned to the store and informed Mr. Weinstein of the loss of her purse he said as alleged, “Yes I remember you; I found it right after you left.” When she described its contents he said, “yes, the ring was wrapped in tissue paper.” There was therefore evidence of identification of the purse and property of the plaintiff. As the purse contained “charge coins” and the “ring wrapped in tissue paper”; as it was found by the clerk soon after the plaintiff left the store, the evidence of identification was sufficient to warrant the submission of the case to the jury.
On the facts as stated, it was not1 reversible error to send out the statement referred to in the first assignment. There were only two items in the plaintiff’s claim, —the value of the ring and purse. This was shown by the evidence. The item of interest was not controverted,
The evidence of the plaintiff and the defendants was contradictory to some extent, but the case was submitted to the jury in a charge, with respect to which there was no complaint, and the plaintiff’s right to recover was a question of fact under all the evidence.
The judgment is affirmed.
