Stebbins vs. Killeen.

judgment of the justice thereon, the defendant appealed to the circuit court and said judgment was affirmed. From said judgment of the circuit court, the defendant appealed to this court. No errors are assigned except that said judg ment is against the law and evidence. In such a case the judgment will not be reversed if the plaintiff's evidence tended to support it (Lyle v. Dellinger, 54 Wis. 404); or when the evidence was sufficient to sustain it (Rood v. Am. Exp. Co. 46 Wis. 639); or when the questions of fact were fairly submitted to a jury upon conflicting evidence (Chamberlain v. Dickey, 31 Wis. 68; Jaquish v. Ithaca, 36 Wis. 108; Caswell v. C. & N. W. R. Co. 42 Wis. 193).

In this case, the evidence on behalf of the plaintiff, if it had not been contradicted or rebutted by the defendant, was sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to recover; that is sufficient for affirming the judgment. The evidence was very conflicting, and the credibility of the witness was in question, and it was peculiarly a case for a jury, and their verdict is conclusive.

We think the circuit court committed no error in affirming the judgment of the justice, and therefore the judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.

By the Court.- Judgment affirmed.

INDEX.

ABATEMENT OF ACTION.

See CRIMINAL LAW, 2.

1. The fact that an action is prematurely brought should be pleaded in
abatement. Collette v. Weed,
428

2. Where all of a lot of logs should have been scaled before an action
was brought for the shortage, and the plaintiff had caused all that
he was able to find to be so scaled, the fact that a few more were
discovered after the commencement of the action should not defeat
the action, especially where that fact was pleaded not by way of
abatement but as a defense on the merits.

ACCEPTANCE. See SALE OF CHATTELS, 2, 6.

ACCORD AND SATISFACTION.

In an action for a balance due upon contract for labor and materials,
the defendants pleaded an adjustment and settlement in writing
and full payment thereunder. Held:

(1) On the trial the plaintiff might avoid the alleged settlement
by showing that his signature thereto was obtained by fraud.

(2) The amount paid to the plaintiff under the settlement having
been conceded by the defendants to be due to him, he was not
bound to return it in order to rescind the settlement. Leslie v.
Keepers,
123
