The only question involved on this appeal is whether or not- ‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‍the court below committed error in denying plaintiff’s motion to set aside the verdict and for a new trial.

The plaintiff’s contentions were submitted ‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‍to the jury on a proper issue and in a charge which he concedes to be free from error.

There was no question of law ‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‍or legal inference involved in the motion lodged below. Consequently it was addressed to the sound discretion of *323 tbe trial judge, whose ruling, in ‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‍the absence of abuse of discretion, is not reviewable on appeal. No abuse of discretion is shown.
