Opinion

Per Curiam. Read, C. J.

(Charge.) The evidence is sufficiently clear to charge the defendant, for the law is that he is liable. The only question is as to the interest claimed, and you [132]*132may clearly allow it in damages. As to the time when the corn was sold, as it is in the power of defendant, and he does not show it, it is therefore to be presumed against him. You are to give it all in one sum as damages.

Verdict for plaintiff for his demand, and interest from six weeks after storing.
