In the court below the defendant in error, plaintiff therein, began an action for the recovery of the value of certain material alleged to have been sold the defendant, plaintiff in error, under a verbal contract, to be used in the manufacture of certain machinery by the defendant and others associated with him, which material, at the defendant’s request, was furnished to the foreman engaged in the manufacture of such machinery. The answer was a general denial. Verdict and judgment were rendered against the defendant, and to secure the reversal thereof he prosecutes error in this court.
On the trial the defendant offered evidence tending to prove that he and others, as partners, were engaged in the manufacture of the machinery referred to, and that the material for which the suit was brought was contracted for by the partnership, and sold to it by the plaintiff, and not to the defendant individually. All such evidence was ex-
Reversed and .remanded.
