Opinion
THE COURT (THRUSTON, Circuit Judge, absent) refused to give any instruction to the jury upon the subject, the parties having by their pleadings put the reasonableness of the penalty in issue to the jury. If the party offers an issue as to matter of law, the other party may demur; if he joins issue, he cannot afterwards submit the matter of law to the court.
