After a very careful examination of the record, we reach the conclusion that the plaintiff has wholly failed to prove any mali e, if, indeed, he has not also failed to prove want of probable cause. The defendants waited long and patiently for the return of the plaintiff. They
' It was prejudicial error to permit the, plaintiff to testify to the credit given him by other houses. The defendants were unduly restricted in their cross-examination of the plaintiff. He should have been required to answer when the correspondence in question was destroyed, and whether he was pressed for the payment of claims before he left Sheldon, on the 24th of December. The testimony of Olay, on plaintiff’s rebuttal, as to what disposition was made of money collected on accounts, was immaterial.
The judgment is reversed.
