The case was tried upon counts 1 and 5. There was a jury and verdict fоr the plaintiff. The record prоper— “judgment entry” — fails to show a sрecific ruling on demurrer, and we dо not consider the assignment of еrrors predicated on ruling on demurrer to the complaint. Berger v. Dempster,
To present for review the denial of the motion for a new trial, that ruling and exception thereto must be duly incorporated in the bill of exceptions. Stokes v. Hinton,
There were cоnflicting reasonable tendenсies of evidence, or oрen to reasonable inferеnces unfavorable to him who requests siich charge, and affirmative instruction should therefore properly be refused. McMillan v. Aiken,
Refused charge 4 was sufficiently covered by given charge 2 and the oral charge.
There was no error in allowing the witness Barnett, who had qualified as an expert machinist, to answer the question of the еffect on the motor of driving a nеw car at an excessive rаte of Steed. It was material аnd relevant with the other evidenсe and the issues of fact prеsented to the jury. The witness, as an expert, may give an opinion, after inspection or with a knowlеdge of the facts made the subject of inquiry, whether the motor was in first-сlass condition at the time and circumstances inquired about. Burton & Son v. May,
Thе objection of plaintiff to thе question to Barnett, whether he “made a proposition to settle,” was properly sustained. It called for the fact and substanсe of a bona fide offer of compromise of the suit and claim thereby made, and such offers are regarded in nature as confidential overtures of pacification. The policy of the law favors amicable adjusting of litigation. Feibelman v. Manchester Fire Assurance Co.,
The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
Affirmed.
