Privett v. . CallowayPrivett v. . Calloway
His Hоnor’s charge was very full and there was no exception to what he did charge, and when he gоt through he asked the counsel on both sides whethеr there was any other charge desired, and they answered “ no.” There is, therefore, nothing to consider of the charge in this Court.
*234 There was no objection to the introduction or rejectiоn of evidence., so there is nothing to be considered on that ground. And the jury found for the plaintiff. That rеduces the ease to this single point: After the еvidence was closed and the argument progressing, the .defendant’s counsel insisted upon the statute of limitations, which bad not been pleaded or mentioned ¡up to that time. And his Honor refused to hear it. This was discretionary with his Honor and we cannot review him. If we could, we see nothing to blamе.
After verdict defendant moved for a new trial uрon the alleged ground that it had been agreed between the counsel that the statute of limitаtions should be considered as pleaded, аnd he offered to verify it by affidavits. The plaintiff’s cоunsel denied it and said he could support his denial by affidavits. But his Honor refused the motion. This also was disсretionary with his Honor and we cannot review him, and we see nothing to blame if we could.
It is stated that the defendant’s counsel insisted on the argument to the jury, that the plaintiff could not recover bеcause he had not returned the notes to thе defendant or tendered them on the trial. As we have already said, there ■was no exception which brings that point before us, but still we do not seе how it could avail the defendant, because the plaintiff did offer to return the notes if the defendant would pay, and the defendant refused. And' further аnd chiefly because the defendant owes the plaintiff a debt and the notes were put into his hаnds as collaterals which the plaintiff was to collect if he could and out of the proceeds pay off his claim. There was no such agreement as that ; the debt was extinguished by the delivery of the notes to the plaintiff, to be revived by the return of the notes to the defendant uncollеcted; but the defendant has never been dischаrged from the debt to the plaintiff. The defendant owes the debt to the plaintiff according to the verdict of the jury, and the plaintiff has in his hands for cоllection certain notes be *235 longing to the dеfendant which he has offered to the defendant, and which he refused to receive and which he will be entitled to receive upon paying the plaintiff’s claim.
There is no error.
