RITTENHOUSE, C.

¶1 This is an action on a promissory note for $ 380.15, balance due on an open account for lumber. Defendant filed an answer, asking for credit of $ 223.39 for material returned; $ 7.05 for broken glass; $ 7 expended in obtaining glass; $ 50 for difference in price and grade of lumber; and $ 50 for damages. These questions were properly submitted to the jury and a verdict returned in favor of W. J. Bridges and against B. V. Cummins for $ 180.76. There being sufficient evidence to support the verdict, this court will not disturb the same.

¶2 The judgment of the lower court should therefore be affirmed.

¶3 By the Court: It is so ordered.
