At the close of plaintiffs’ evidence and at the close of all the ‍​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍evidence the defendant Swift & Company made motions in the court below for judgment as in case of nonsuit. C. S., 567. The court below overruled these motions and in ‍​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍this we can see no error.

After reading the record and briefs and hearing the able arguments of the litigants, we can see no prejudicial or reversible error. It ‍​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍is well settled in this jurisdiction that error will not be presumed, it must be affirmatively established. The appellant is required to show error and he must ‍​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍make it appear plainly, as the presumption is against him. The case was tried under well settled law in matters of this kind. There is no new or ‍​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍novel proposition of law involved.

In the judgment of the court below, we find

No error.
