51 So. 622 | Ala. | 1910
— The bill of exceptions does not purport to contain all, or substantially all, of the evidence. We cannot, therefore, hold that the court erred in giving the general affirmative charge in favor of the defendants in this case. — Western Railway Co. v. Williamson, 114 Ala. 131, 145, 21 South. 827, among others.
The only other assignment rests on the action of the court in sustaining the defendants’ objection to this question, propounded to one of the plaintiffs: “What
did Moseley offer to pay you for the timber he had cut?” It appears from the bill that the offer inquired about was made in an effort to adjust the matter of controversy; in short, related to a statement uttered in the course of negotiations looking to a compromise. Under a familiar rule, the question sought to elicit inadmissible matter.
The judgment must be affirmed.
Affirmed.
